FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Amendments to Salary Resolution N0. 4646
Introduction
This report requests amendments to Salary Resolution
No. 4646 establishing salaries for Operations Manager
(Rent Control), Investigator and Community Service
Officer. Specifications were approved by Personnel
Board on August 22, 1979.
Background (Operations Alanager--Rent Control)
The Rent Control Board has requested that the position
of Operations i4anager be established to effect the
provisions of the Rent Control Charter Amendment
and Ordinance. A survey of government agencies with
siriilar functions was conducted. State and Federal
positions could not be used because the pay scales
are substantially higher than those for local govern-
ment. The City of Los Angeles uses a Grants Planage-
ment Specialist II to oversee Case Analysis and is
judged to be comparable to Operations Tanager.
Internal comparisons with Santa Monica positions
were also considered with regard to education and
experience requirerients.
Background (Investigator)
The Rent Control Board has requested that the
position of Investigator be established. A salary
survey was conducted which indicates that the City
SEP 1 1 1979
of Los Angeles Junior Administrative Assistant
performs duties similar to Investigator for their
Rent Control function. Internal comparisons with
Santa P4onica positions requiring similar education
and experience were also considered.
Background (Community Services Officer)
In the 1979/80 Budget, provision was made for a
new civilian function in the Police Department.
Four cities with comparable positions were identified
and the mean for those cities has been used to set
the salary of Community Service Officer.

attached resolution amending Salary Resolution No. 4640,
creating salary ranges for:
