CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> But yes, there was an increase, but those were positions that we had coaches come in, not just <br /> police officers. Daryl Boykins, who runs it is a part-time employee, gets paid a specific'amount <br /> even though I think everyone knows he works well beyond those hours. <br /> Councilmember Scott asked, Could it be a donation or something that has decreased? Would that <br /> change your funding for that program? <br /> Chief Ruszkowski stated, Yes it would, I'll get you that answer sometime tomorrow,because I am <br /> not specifically sure. <br /> Councilmember Scott stated, I think the tiered structure for your personnel is a very good way to <br /> go. I think the City might need to look at that as well. That shows the commitment to the <br /> individuals that have been there for a while, plus incentives for working and looking at merit. I <br /> think that goes a long way. <br /> Councilmember Jo M. Broden asked, Can you give clarity on when that tiered system will begin? <br /> Chief Ruszkowski stated, We'll be working that through 2019. We are confident now, initially, <br /> that we should be able to fund that tier system based on the new hire as opposed to people who <br /> have been here for thirty (30) years. However, working with HR and Diversity and Inclusion and <br /> everyone else concerning career path development, this also concerns performance evaluations. <br /> Based on those evaluations of performance, we would be able to use the tier system. If you came <br /> in at$20,000, and you could be making$30,000,based on those performance evaluations and the <br /> work that you perform, you could make up to that level based on a certain amount of time. This is <br /> all preliminary. I'm guessing six (6) to seven (7) months into next year we'll have something to <br /> present to Council, but I'm not expecting it to be anything drastic where we would have to come <br /> to Council to ask for more money for that change. If it does,you can be sure that we will have our <br /> ducks in a row. <br /> Committee Chair White stated, Thank you. Please let us know how that officer turns out. <br /> . Code Enforcement <br /> Tracy Skibins, Director of Code Enforcement with offices on the 13th floor of the County-City <br /> Building, stated,We are requesting two (2) full-time to part-time positions. I'll be speaking on the <br /> position in Code Enforcement.The position right now is a part-time position,and we are requesting <br /> it to be full-time. It is for a Financial Specialist Three (III), because with the development of the <br /> new division of Code Enforcement for the rental inspection,there will be different responsibilities <br /> for the staff. Additional responsibilities for this person would include processing special <br /> assessments,posting daily cash receipts to accounts receivable invoices,processing of payroll,and <br /> assisting accounts payable. She will be helping the staff that we currently have do their <br /> responsibilities in addition to the new program that we have,and help out with the financial aspects <br /> of it as well. <br /> Jen Goebel,Manager of Animal Care and Control with offices located at 521 Eclipse Place,stated, <br /> We are looking to move a part-time position for an Animal Control Assistant to a full-time <br /> position. During 2017, the person that was currently here as our Adoption Coordinator was <br /> promoted to Assistant Manager. Her primary responsibility was coordinating all of our adoptions. <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building l 227 W.Jefferson Bvld 1 South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.92211f 574.235.9173 TTD 574.235.5567 Iwww.southbendin.gov <br /> 7 <br />
