Job Classifications
For Current Job Openings

The City's workforce consists of approximately 190 full-time employees working in about 76 job classifications.

Job descriptions when created or modified for each classification are approved by the City Council. The salary range for each classification is also approved by the City Council at creation and annually as part of the annual budget process. Job descriptions and salary ranges for each classification are a matter of public record.

As a service to prospective employees, as well as a resource for local municipalities performing salary comparisons, we provide this listing of job classifications and salary ranges.
