Adopt a Resolution Amending the City's Salary Resolution and the Schedule of Pay to Increase the Salary Range for the Director of NOVA Workforce Services

Summary

This resolution amends the City's Salary Resolution and Schedule of Pay to increase the salary range for the Director of NOVA Workforce Services. The increase is necessitated by updated 2026 Federal guidelines from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which set a new maximum compensation equivalent to Executive Level II at $228,000. The City Council previously approved on May 7, 2024, allowing compensation beyond the federal cap if other grant funding is available. City Staff recommends adjusting the annual salary range to a new minimum of $207,273 and a new maximum of $273,600, effective February 1, 2026. This adjustment aims to align with federal guidelines, minimize salary compaction with subordinate management, and narrow the gap with other department directors.

Citizen Impact

This administrative change does not directly impact residents' taxes or services but ensures competitive compensation for the Director of NOVA Workforce Services, a federally funded program, to align with updated federal guidelines.
