Title
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT AND RECLASSIFYING OF THE MARKETING DIRECTOR POSITION
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
This agenda item requests approval to establish a Communications Department within the General Government umbrella and to reclassify the existing Marketing Director (Grade 210) position to Communications Director (Grade 240). This action centralizes official City communications, including neutral public information, media relations, and crisis and emergency communications to improve coordination, transparency, and consistency across all departments while continuing to support appropriate departmental promotional efforts.
The redefined Communications Director role removes non-core duties and refocuses the position on strategic communications leadership, supervision of the communications staff, and functional guidance on official announcements and media-related Citywide. The results of a job analysis recommends a pay grade for the Communications Director of a Grade 240, reflecting executive-level responsibilities, Citywide impact, and market competitiveness.
