I i I I I I I I I I I I ! I I I I I I Administrative Services Manager position into two positions back in early 2000 when Kim Moore-Sykes, Assistant City Administrator, and Rhonda Heryla, Human Resources Manager, were both hired. These two position were differentiated in terms of salary and job responsibilities, however it may have been an oversight that only the Assistant City Administrator role was given three weeks vacation considering the job responsibilities and level of independent work required of the Human Resources Manager. In the last two years, it has been demonstrated that the role of the Human Resources Manager is important to the City's management team· Although it is not a department head level position, the Human Resources Manger does perform specialized and sometimes sensitive work beyond what is required of many other non-supervisory employees. Ms. Heryla's responsibilities include recruitment and hiring, union negotiations, employee discipline, compensation review, benefits administration, and policy review and implementation.
