Finance Department could be moved to Shelly and Linda's positions. As it pertains to sbmeone asking for forms dealing with personnel, etc., this Finance position could handle that. Councilmember Beyer commented that she felt that's where that type of position should have been in the first place. She added that she has a real problem with replacing this position as supervisory. She suggested it be described as one who gives work direction, but is not a supervisor. Ms. Hart stated that she will not be able to monitor things day to day as she has been if this position is not a supervisory one. Councilmember Beyer felt that Ms. Hart should not have to monitor things day to day; employees should know their position and there should be a minimum of mistakes made. She felt that two supervisors for 3.5 people was not in the best interest of the Department. She suggested that maybe the Finance Officer position ought to be re-defined. Ms. Hart stated she really needs someone to give work direction, but it does not have to be classified as a supervisor. Councilmember Beahen inquired of Ms. Hart if it's possible to maintain what she had without the position being that of supervisor. Mr. Schroeder replied that Ms. Hart is fine with entitling the position Senior Accountant but she does need someone who can manage work flow. Councilmember Beyer reiterated "in a non-supervisory position". Mr~ Schroeder stated that the position is currently exempt and he would request that it remain that way. He added that this position and that of the Public Works Supervisor had been made exempt positions. Councilmember Beyer stated that that had been done without Council involvement. Mr. Schroeder stated that Staff is asking for authorization to post the position. The tire of Senior Accountant is okay, but he asked that the position be filled as discussed. Councilmember Beyer requested that any reference to supervisor be removed from the job posting. Ms. Hart inquired if it would be okay to leave in the terminology that suggests that supervisory and budget experience would be helpful. ~he Committee was in agreement.
