通俗摘要

City creates new Data and Privacy Officer job and sets its pay

This creates a new city job called City Data and Privacy Officer. The person will set up and run a new city office that handles how the city protects, shares and manages its data and people's privacy. The job is "non-represented," which means it is not part of a union.

Decision: Passed, 11 to 0, with one member (Smith) absent.
Who it affects: Mostly city government, which will have a new office overseeing how city departments handle data and privacy.
Money: Creating the job has no direct cost. Pay for the job ranges from $150,550.40 to $218,296.00 a year ($72.38 to $104.95 an hour). Staff recommend paying for it through the shared overhead costs that all city departments split.
Next: The pay range takes effect as soon as the council passes it.

Full title: Create new non-represented classification of City Data and Privacy Officer and establish a compensation range for this classification
Status: Passed
Document number: 2026-307
Introduced by: Mayor Keith Wilson
City department: Human Resources
Requested council date: September 16, 2026
Purpose and background: This classification is responsive to direction from Ordinance 192143 and Resolution 37736. This classification is created to lead the establishment, administration and operations of the City's Data and Privacy Office. This is a hybrid and emerging role that will move beyond basic compliance requirements by providing consistent, strategic and enterprise-wide leadership. This office will be responsible for advancing citywide data governance, privacy protections, transparency, and stewardship of City data assets.
Financial and budgetary impacts: There is no direct cost to create the new classification. The City Data and Privacy Officer has a range of $150,550.40 annual full time to $218,296.00 annual full time. It is recommended that ongoing funding be incorporated into the City's General Fund overhead allocation model. This approach aligns the CDPO with other centralized compliance and oversight functions, such as accounting and human resources, and ensures a stable, sustainable funding structure that distributes costs equitably across bureaus.
Economic and real estate impacts: Not applicable.
Community impacts and community involvement: This action is largely internal to City government processes.
100% renewable goal: Not applicable.
