Ziegler MEETING DATE: February 13, 2024 RECOMMENDATION Motion to Approve Position Description for City of Maricopa Code Enforcement Officer and set a salary of $25 per hour for the position. BACKGROUND Attached hereto is a proposed position description for a city Code Enforcement Officer. Funds in the amount of $8,000 were budgeted by the Council for a part-time Code Enforcement Officer in the city's 2023-2024 budget. At the time the budget was discussed, Council declined to address the question of an appropriate salary for this position. If we're going to hire a Code Enforcement Officer, it is appropriate to address the compensation issue at this time. The online site Zip Recruiter provides the following information on the matter. "How much does a Code Enforcement Officer make in California? As of Jan 31, 2024, the average annual pay for a Code Enforcement Officer in California is $57,740 a year. That works out to be approximately $27.76 an hour. This is the equivalent of $1, 110/week or $4,811/month. While ZipRecruiter is seeing salaries as high as $92,770 and as low as $28,127, the majority of Code Enforcement Officer salaries currently range between $46,400 (25th percentile) to $68,100 (75th percentile) with top earners (9oth percentile) making $82,900 annually in California. The average pay range for a Code Enforcement Officer varies greatly (as much as $21,700), which suggests there may be many opportunities for advancement and increased pay based on skill level, location and years of experience. Based on recent job posting activity on ZipRecruiter, the Code Enforcement Officer job market in California is not very active as few companies are currently hiring. California ranks number 14 out of 50 states nationwide for Code Enforcement Officer Salaries. To estimate the most accurate annual salary range for Code Enforcement Officer Jobs, ZipRecruiter continuously scans its database of millions of active jobs published locally throughout America".  Code Enforcement Officer Salary in California Annual Salary Hourly Wage Top Earners $82,900 $40 75th Percentile $68,100 $33 Average $57,740 $28 25th Percentile $46,400 $22 Given Maricopa's limited financial resources, staff suggests that Council consider compensation for this position at or near the 25th percentile as noted above. Staff recommends that Council favorably consider a Motion to Approve Position Description for City of Maricopa Code Enforcement Officer and set a salary of $25 per hour for the position  CITY of MARICOPA POSITION DESCRIPTION CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SUMMARY DESCRIPTION Under general supervision, performs a variety of technical duties in support of the City's local code enforcement program; monitors and enforces a variety of applicable ordinances, codes, and regulations related to zoning, land use, nuisance housing, building codes, health and safety, blight, graffiti and other matters of public concern; and serves as a resource and provides information on City regulations to property owners, residents, businesses, the general public, and other City departments and divisions.
