The City of Portland ordains:
Section 1. The Council finds:
- In accordance with the policies established by the City Council and based on a classification and compensation review, the Bureau of Human Resources is creating five new non-represented classifications and establishing compensation rates, effective December 1, 2023.
- A critical element of these five classifications is exercising independent judgment in the formulation of policies that have citywide impact or importance.
- Accordingly, the Director of the Bureau of Human Resources recommends that employees hired into these classifications on or after the effective date of this ordinance shall be excluded from the classified service, as provided by the City Charter and Human Resources Administrative Rules.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:
- The following classifications are being created, effective upon passage:
Job Class Pay Range City Administrator $268,632 to $371,592 annual full time Assistant City Administrator $139,464 to $210,787.20 annual full time Deputy City Administrator $204,880 to $307,299.20 annual full time Mayor’s Aide $62,961.60 to $115,128 annual full time Mayor’s Senior Aide $90,001.60 to $134,992 annual full time - Employees hired into the above referenced classifications shall be excluded from the classified service.

Financial and Budgetary Impacts
There is no direct cost to create the new classifications.
The City Administrator has a range of $268,632 annual full time to $371,592 annual full time.
The Assistant City Administrator has a range of $139,464 annual full time to $210,787.20 annual full time.
The Deputy City Administrator has a range of $204,880 annual full time to $307,299.20 annual full time.

100% Renewable Goal
This action is largely internal to City government processes.
Financial and Budget Analysis
The salary classifications represented in this action align with the estimates that the CBO provided for the overall City Charter resolution (see document 37635 from the November 1, 2023 Council Calendar). The net impact of the salaries will depend on how positions are funded. Currently, the mayor’s aide and senior aide positions are covered through existing appropriations. The City Administrator and Assistant City Administrator positions were included in the CAL ordinance adopted by council on November 29th (see document 191526). Based on the current organizational chart for the charter transition, the costs for six deputy city administrator positions will be between $1,229,280 and $1,843,795.
