First Reading Ordinances
9. Council Bill/Special Ordinance 4016-2019
A Special Ordinance approving the appointment of Carol Barnes as Finance Director for the City of Moline, effective September 23, 2019; and authorizing that an exemption to the residency requirements of Section 24-2203 of the Moline Code of Ordinances be granted to Carol Barnes upon her acceptance of the position of Finance Director for the City of Moline at a negotiated salary per the City Council’s directive to the City Administrator.
Explanation: The City has conducted a search for a Finance Director and wishes to offer the position to Carol Barnes (“Barnes”) based upon the City Administrator’s recommendation of Barnes as the highest ranked candidate for the position. Barnes lives in the Quad Cities but not within the corporate limits of the City of Moline. Section 24-2203, “Residency,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances requires department directors to reside within the corporate limits of the City or to relocate to Moline within a specified period of time. For specific personal reasons, as well as a broader consideration of the general market and current economy, Barnes does not consider it feasible to relocate within the time specified by Section 24-2203 and is therefore willing to negotiate a reduction in salary in exchange for an exemption from the relocation requirement. This exemption shall continue as long as Barnes remains at her current residence during her employment as the City’s Finance Director; however, if Barnes chooses to relocate during her employment as the City’s Finance Director, her relocation shall be within the corporate limits of the City pursuant to Section 24-2203. The City Council finds that the specific relative merit of the candidates available at this time for the position of Finance Director as ranked and presented by the City Administrator, the long-term plans for staffing as set forth by the City Administrator, and the circumstances for this particular candidate, combined with the negotiated reduction in salary, make this particular hiring uniquely worthy of consideration for an exemption to the residency requirements of Section 24-2203. The City Council also finds that the facts of this specific situation are so unique so as not to be precedential for the hiring of any other position, now or in the future, that is subject to the residency requirements of Section 24-2203.
Fiscal Impact: The Finance Director position is a budgeted position.
