Information Needed by Staff
A. Appointed Pay Plan Reclassification Requests
The Mayor's Office would like to reclassify two positions on the Appointment Pay Plan:
• Refugee Community Liaison (21)
• Special Projects Manager (21)
Both positions are currently at a grade 21, and the change would reclassify the positions
to a grade 26 "Community Liaison". The Administration would like to see if the Council
has any objections to posting the jobs now to pursue applicants, but would not fill the
position until they have the Council's formal approval during a budget amendment.
➢ Does the Council have any objections to the Administration advertising for
these positions?
Cindy Gust-Jenson, Executive Council Director, reviewed the proposed staffing title
change in Mayor's office for two positions. She asked if the Council had any concerns
about the Administration moving ahead with advertising and interviewing for positions
as long as they are not advertising for positions outside their budget and that they will
bring a resolution to the Council for a vote. The administration will not be asking for a
budget amendment this year for the proposed title changes.
Councilmember Johnston asked for clarification on where the money was coming from
for this fiscal year. Ms. Gust-Jenson explained it was an internal move, and that it is
budget neutral for this year. No objections were raised.
B. Salt Lake County Association of Municipal Councils
Paul Wayman, the 2017 chairman of the Association of Municipal Councils, and a
councilmember in Riverton City sent a letter to the Council. He is inquiring about
having a Council Member represent SLC by attending the monthly meetings for the Salt
Lake County Association of Municipal Councils. (Attachment)
> Is there a Council Member who wants to represent the Salt Lake City
Council at this monthly meeting?
Ms. Gust-Jenson asked if anyone from the Council would like to serve with this group
and meet with City Council representatives from other city councils throughout the
valley.
Councilmember Adams raised the question of meeting times/days. Ms. Gust-Jenson
said they will ask for clarification on meeting dates/times.
SALT LAKE COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL
COUNCILS
Greetings councilmembers!
I'm Paul Wayman, a member of the Riverton City Council, and
this year's chair of the Salt Lake County Association of
Municipal Councils.
We've missed you at our meetings! During this past year, we
have not had anyone from your council join us. On behalf of the
Association, I'd like to invite you to appoint a member of your
council to join with us in our monthly meetings on hot topics of
interest to our communities!
The Association has been in existence for a number of years,
and we find that there are many timely issues to discuss, as well
as the opportunity to collaborate with members of other councils
and see how they are handling issues that we may have in
common.
Last month, we heard from Salt Lake County Mayor Ben
McAdams who, at our invitation, came to discuss townships,
homelessness issues and solutions, and rapid growth of the
county. In September, we've invited economic development
representatives to come and talk to us about recruitment of
businesses, incentives, and generally how economic
development programs work. In October we plan to hear from
Cameron Diehl of the Utah League of Cities and Towns about
upcoming legislative issues, and then in November we will meet
with the members of the county Council of Governments and
with our state legislators to discuss top legislative priorities.
We meet at noon every second Tuesday of the month with the
exception of November when we combine our meeting with the
COG and December when we do not hold a meeting due to the
busy holiday season. Our meetings are typically held at the
Murray City Council Conference Room. County staff, who have
just recently taken over the job of administering our association,
recognize that your time is valuable and that most of you are
using your lunch hour to attend this meeting. Because of this
they will begin providing box lunches at our meetings going
forward.
We leave it to each city to decide how to appoint a member of
their council to become the member of the Association. Just let
us know who that person is, and we will make sure they receive
the calendar appointments and communications from the
Association.
Please reply back to Erika Fihaki at efihaki@slco.org and she
will make sure to get you on our list.
Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you at our next meeting
on September 12 at noon!
Sincerely,
/ 2c,/ 4jcL_Jo

2017 Chairman — Association of Municipal Councils
Councilmember Riverton City
