PERSONNEL COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
Date: April 11, 2022
To: Personnel Commission
Staff: LeeAnn McPhillips, Administrative Services & Human Resources Director/Risk Manager
Subject: Review and Approve Job Description and Salary Range for the Full-Time Position of
Emergency Services & Volunteer Coordinator
SUMMARY:
Currently, the city has the part-time, exempt job classification of Emergency Services Coordinator. With a
recent budget update, the City Council approved increasing this position to full-time status. With the change
to full-time status, city-wide volunteer coordination duties will be added to the position duties. The
Emergency Services Coordinator already coordinates the efforts of many emergency management
volunteers. Proposed edits to the attached job description are shown in track changes format. New wording
is displayed in underline format and wording to be removed is displayed in strikethrough format.
As this job classification is currently an exempt, part-time position, the full-time position is identified to be
included in the Gilroy Management Association employee group as this group represents all full-time,
exempt positions that are not confidential or categorized as senior executive management.
Evaluating the current part-time salary range ($36.89 - $47.82 per hour) for the position as well as other
full-time positions with like duties, the Gilroy Management Association salary range of $82,764 - $110,364
is recommended. This is the same range assigned to the Youth Task Force Coordinator and Management
Analyst classifications.
Since this full-time classification will be included with the Gilroy Management Association employee group,
the Gilroy Management Association reviewed the revised job description and proposed salary range and
agreed with the edits and placement.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends that the Personnel Commission take the following action:
1. Approve the revised job description for the position of Emergency Services & Volunteer Coordinator.
2. Approve the Gilroy Management Association salary range of $82,764 - $110,364 for the Emergency
Services & Volunteer Coordinator classification.
Respectfully Submitted,
LeeAnn McPhillips
