Special Council Meeting h 4� January 13, 2011 Page 4 Gene Anderson explained that the communications officer position requested by the City Manager did not receive Council support, but instead it was proposed that a full -time human resources position be created. Mr. Anderson said this position would replace the part-time position now occupied by Melba Harris, who retired December 31, 2010. Council Members Jason Rogers, John Wright, Steve Brown and Rhonda Rogers expressed they did not think the Human Resources Director should report to the Finance Director, but that he or she should report directly to the City Manager. Council Member Pickle said he did not have a problem with the Human Resources Director reporting to the Finance Director. It was a consensus of the City Council that the Human Resources Director report to the City Manager. No action was necessary, because the position was already budgeted in the City Manager's budget. Council Member Jason Rogers said he would like to review the job description for the HR Director and Public Works Director. Mr. Anderson said he would e -mail the job descriptions to the Council. 12.
