TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Request to Promote Mark Noble from the Position of Planner I to Planner II
MEETING DATE: December 20, 2005
INTRODUCTION:
Mark Noble joined the City of Shakopee as Planner I in 2000, and during his tenure has done
yeoman's work on building permit review, and code enforcement issues.' In addition, Mr. Noble is
doing the work of a Planner II. Over the past two years, Mr. Noble has been project manager on a
number of complex plats including the following;
. Riverside Fields;
. Riverside Bluffs;
. Park Meadows;
. Park Meadows East (now re-named to River Valley Estates)
. Glacier Estates
. Ridge View Farms
With the hiring of Planner I, Kyle Sobota, Mr. Noble's workload has been shifted even further toward
the review and management of complex development proposals. Additionally, he has been the staff
liaison to the newly created Historic Preservation Advisory Commission. Because of this, and
because of his performance, I am requesting that Mr. Noble be promoted to the position of Planner II
effective at the start ofthe next payroll reporting period. Mr. Noble is presently at the top step of pay
grade 6, and I propose that he be promoted to the Planner II position at pay grade 8, Step E, which
represents about a 1.5 percent increase from his current salary, and which places him in a pay grade
that has a top step about $10,000 greater than his current position. This would be in addition to the
3% COLA for 2006.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Offer and pass a motion approving the promotion of Mark Noble to the position of Planner II at
pay grade 8, Step E ($56,114) effective January 1, 2006, subject to a one-year probationary
period.
2. Do not approve the proposed promotion.
3. Table the item for additional information.
