COUNCIL BUSINESS Case #1: Consider Recommendation to Change Job Title of Recording Secretary Administrative Services Manager Waite Smith explained that, technically, the City Administrator position also includes City Clerk duties, but in reality, the City Clerk duties have been performed by the Recording Secretary for several years. She noted the job description of the Recording Secretary and the description of a City Clerk. She also added that her (Waite Smith's) position was getting points for elections and that also has been handled by the Recording Secretary. It is staff's recommendation that Ms. Thieling's title be changed to that of Deputy City Clerk as that better reflects the actual duties she performs. Staff is also recommending that in 1998, Ms. Thieling should begin the three-year training process to become a certified City Clerk. She added that a salary adjustment is not being requested at this time City Council/September 15, 1997 Page 1 of 5
