Engineer II position will need to neglect many of their assigned duties while completing some of the duties that would have been assigned to this new position. • Can the position be filled internally? o This position very likely cannot be filled internally without providing CAD training to existing staff. This of course assumes that a current employee is interested in being reassigned to this position. • What is the impact (i.e., to residents, business owners, employees, and/or operations) if the position is not filled? o If this position is not filled, the city will not be able to meet the Strategic Initiative identified above meaning the development and implementation of a long-term road maintenance plan and policy will be further delayed. • Can the service provided be reduced, eliminated, or contracted out? o The duties assigned to this position could be contracted out to engineering consulting firms, though the costs to do so would likely be greater than filling this position. • What is the budgetary impact if the position is not filled (e.g., additional overtime/compensatory time off costs)? o If this position is not filled, their assigned duties would remain with existing staff requiring additional hours to be worked and/or the hiring of consultants to complete the assigned tasks. • What are the circumstances that warrant the creation of this new position? o Filling this position will allow the city to meet the Strategic Initiative identified above, and will allow the Civil Engineer II position to complete and catch up on some of their assigned duties that were neglected while completing CAD drafting on numerous public improvement projects in recent years. 3. What is the total annual cost of the position (e.g., salary, taxes, benefits, equipment, etc.)? Assuming a January 1st start date, the salary and benefits for this position for 2015 would total $70,171.
