Report
Summary
BACKGROUND
The City Council responded to community concerns in 2020 by allocating $3 million to fully fund the approved Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT) to provide police oversight. The first three classifications, the OAT Director, the Attorney, and an Executive Administrative Assistant, were approved by the Council in September 2020.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION
The Monitor job family classifications were modeled after similar positions in other municipalities across the country, and similar classifications within the City such as Performance Auditors, Internal Auditors, and Crime Scene Supervisors. The grades were selected to be externally competitive in the labor market, and internally equitable with similar roles in other parts of the City structure. Job duties of these classifications require that they be confidential and unrepresented positions.
Financial Impact
There are no budgetary impacts associated with these actions.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
This action was reviewed and recommended for approval by Human Resources Committee 616 on Nov. 10, 2022.
