This class is distinguished from Manager II, by scope, decision-making (type and independence); internal and external organizational impact; level of supervision; working relationships (level and purpose) and budgetary responsibility.
Distinctions between class levels in the management series are based on the program's complexity, sensitivity and/or size, organizational impact, the nature and number of functions/programs managed, decision-making responsibility, level of supervision exercised, nature of positions supervised, and the nature and scope of duties assumed such as hand-on work rather than planning and policy development activities.
Incumbents in this class typically assume responsibility for divisions which provide routine programs and services within a broad functional area. Incumbents in these positions make decisions which typically involve program planning and directing, as well as, organizing new and future resource needs. These decisions directly impact the effective functioning of the division and incumbents develop policies and/or procedures affecting the City infrastructure or the provision and delivery of public services. Inappropriate decisions would negatively affect the health and welfare of a segment of the population or the economic vitality of a segment of City government.
