CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 3/20/2017
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Michele Warren, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2017-11 amending the City's Classification Plan adding
the classification of Senior Finance Analyst
Statement of Issue:
The City's Classification Plan requires an amendment to incorporate changes considered and
approved by the Personnel Commission, adding the classification of Senior Finance Analyst, at the
meeting held February 22, 2017.
Financial Impact:
Funding for the proposed job classification is included in the FY 2016-17 budget. The budget funds
currently allocated for existing position vacancies will be used to fill the proposed classification
resulting in a cost-neutral impact to the FY 16/17 adopted budget. This new classification does not
add to the department's table of organization.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2017-11, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Amending the City Classification Plan by Adding the Classification of Senior Finance Analyst."
Alternative Action(s):
Reject the amendment to the classification plan. In accordance with Personnel Rule 12-4, if an
amendment to the City's Classification Plan is rejected by the City Council, the City Council is to
refer such amendments or revisions back to the Personnel Commission with reasons for rejection
and its recommendation thereon.
Analysis:
The Personnel Commission has considered and approved the following amendment to the City's
Classification Plan:
At the February 22, 2017, meeting, the Personnel Commission approved a new classification of
Senior Finance Analyst and established compensation at pay grade ME0868. The position will be
represented by the Management Employees Organization. Reporting directly to the Finance
Manager - Budget the primary responsibility for the classification will be to serve as a lead analyst
in the preparation, implementation, and administration of the City's annual and capital improvement
budgets.
Currently, the department is allocated the classification of Senior Administrative Analyst in support
of the budget preparation process. However, the Senior Administrative Analyst classification does
not meet the department's needs in that it is a general advanced journey-level analyst classification
Item 6. - 1 _ - 0-
Dept. ID HR 17-003 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date:3/20/2017
designed to provide professional support to a designated department and is not sufficient to meet
the needs of a central Finance Department and operation which is responsible for citywide tracking,
monitoring, financial reporting, auditing and fiscal oversight. Moreover, the Senior Budget Analyst
job classification is significantly outdated and as currently written, reflects duties performed by an
incumbent reporting directly to the then City Administrator. It is also compensated at a lower salary
than the Senior Administrative Analyst classification it provides instructions to, resulting in a high
turnover ratio. This classification does not comport with the current structure or needs of the City or
department.
In furtherance of the Finance Department's fiduciary responsibility, the proposed classification will
support the city-wide budget development process by assisting the Finance Manager-Budget in the
work required of Finance to coordinate, collaborate, guide, and direct other department analysts in
the preparation, evaluation, and analysis of department budget documents, worksheets,
expenditure requests, and related items. This lead analyst classification is required to produce high
quality accounting and analytical work, will help implement process improvements, and must have
advanced skills, experience, and specialized costing abilities. Additionally, this classification will
help maintain the City's AAA rating, further implement strong internal controls, adhere to various
Governmental Accounting standards, such as SAS 112, and generate advanced special fund
analysis. The financial impact will be absorbed within the Finance Department's operating budget.

FROM: MICHELE WARREN, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
SUBJECT: CREATION OF SENIOR FINANCE ANALYST JOB CLASSIFICATION
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 2017
The Finance Department is seeking to create the job classification of SENIOR FINANCE ANALYST.
The Budget division of the Finance department desires to create a lead analyst position at the advanced joumey
level to support the Finance Manager-Budget in the preparation and administration of the annual budget. The job
emphasis of the recommended classification is to complete the work performed in preparing, implementing, and
administering the City's annual and capital improvement budgets. Further, the proposed classification will support
the city-wide budget development process by assisting the Finance Manager-Budget in the work required of
Finance to coordinate, collaborate, guide and direct other department analysts in the preparation, evaluation and
analysis of department budget documents,worksheets,expenditure requests and related items.
Currently, the department is allocated the classification of Senior Administrative Analyst in support of the budget
preparation process. However, the Senior Administrative Analyst classification does not meet the department's
needs in that it is a general advanced joumey-level analyst classification designed to provide professional support
to a designated department. Moreover,the Senior Budget Analyst job classification is significantly outdated and as
currently written, reflects duties performed by an incumbent reporting directly to the then City Administrator. This
classification does not comport with the current structure or needs of the department.
The classification will be FLSA exempt — Leamed Professional and represented by the Management Employees
Organization (MEO). The pay range was established after taking into consideration pay differentials for other
comparable reporting relationships.
The City and MEO have met and conferred regarding the creation of this new job and its inclusion into the
classification plan. The recommendation presented is based upon a review of similar external jobs.
At this time, staff requests the Personnel Commission to approve staffs recommendations in accordance with
Personnel Rule 12 regarding amendments to the City's Classification Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Proposed Job Class Title/Job Code: Senior Finance Analyst ME00868
Pay Range: $43.95-$46.37-$48.91 - $51.60 -$54.44

classification plan
Affected Employees: None
