REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1395 Amending Ordinance 1166 Finance Directors Duties
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2001
BACKGROUND: The City ofKalispell's City Council and administration are guided by Ordinance 1166
which established an Administrative Code. During the July 16, 2001 Council workshop the Council directed
me to bring forward several amendments to the Administrative Code. The attached amendment is in relation
to the Duties of the Finance Director.
Article VII Appointed Officers
Section 2-44 Finance Director
f. Assist in the development of and administration of the City's personnel policy procedures,
including training recruitment, selection and labor relations;
Currently the Personnel Specialist reports to the Finance Director. Because this position has evolved from
predominantly a payroll clerk, who assists with human resource issues, to a much greater demand and focus
on personnel management (hiring, grievance handling, assist with labor negotiations etc.) I would like to
place this position directly under my supervision. At this time, the job description and responsibilities will
not be changed, only the individual's direct supervisor will change. Because of the position's payroll
responsibilities, the Finance Director will remain actively involved in this position.
Therefor, I propose eliminating this language from the Administrative Code based on the fact that these
responsibilities can be interpreted as part of Article IV City Manager, Section 2-29 Statutory Authority and
Duties d.

d Direct, supervisor, and administer all departments, agencies and offices of the local government
