Action Sought
The Council is asked to appoint Deputy City Clerk Lori Hensen to the roll of Acting City Clerk,effective
March 2,2015,and authorize a corresponding increase in pay from Step D of Grade 5 to Step F of Grade
7 of the City's 2015 Non-Union Pay Plan.
Background
With the current Finance Director/City Clerk departing employment effective February 27,2015,there
is a need to appoint an Acting City Clerk to fill the statutory duties of the City Clerk on an interim basis.
Recommendation
I recommend that the Council appoint Deputy City Clerk Lori Hensen as Acting City Clerk effective March
2, 2015 and authorize a corresponding pay increase from Step D of Grade 5 to Step F of Grade 7 of the
City's Non-Union Pay Plan. This is a pay increase of approximately 10%,which is equivalent to the pay
adjustment granted to me as Acting City Administrator.
Budget Impact
The cost of the temporary pay increase can easily be accommodated through the use of unspent salary
dollars resulting from several vacant positions within the City organization.

This item relates to Goal B: Positively manage the challenges and opportunities presented by growth,
development and change.
