Title
A Resolution Amending The Pay Classification Plan To Establish Additional Positions For The Upcoming Destination & Events Services Department
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
Resolution 26-1211 authorized the development of the new department - Destination & Events Services - and established the Destination Marketing & Creative Services Manager. This request asks for consideration of a resolution amending the Pay Classification Plan to establish two additional classifications of Director of Destination & Events Services (currently Special Projects & Events Manager in Leisure Services/Grade 180) and Community Events & Special Projects Manager (currently Community Events Coordinator/Special Projects in Marketing/Grade 100). The new director role leads the city's tourism and event strategies to increase visitor impact and economic development by providing strategic leadership in brand development, stakeholder relations, and enterprise-level oversight of city festivals, events, and marketing initiatives. The new manager role serves as the city's primary authority and single point of contact for city-produced and third-party special events, public gatherings, and public space permits.
These requests are budget neutral for this fiscal year due to a budget surplus in both the Leisure Services and Marketing Departments' personnel accounts. The director position and the associated personnel budget will remain in the Leisure Services Department for FY26 and the manager position and the associated personnel budget will remain in the Marketing Department for FY26. Both positions will be transferred to the Destination & Events Services budget in FY27.
