3. Staff M&C Agenda Items to Review
AGR2026-028: Carol Sicard, Human Resources Director, stated that the purpose of a
classification study is to ensure the City's classification system remains equitable, defensible,
competitive, and aligned with organizational needs. A comprehensive review allows the City to
accurately align positions with assigned duties and responsibilities, support employee
recruitment and retention efforts, and provide clear career development pathways for employees.
As part of the study, it is recommended that all job descriptions be reviewed and updated to
ensure legal compliance, internal consistency, and accurate reflection of current duties,
responsibilities, qualifications, and reporting relationships. The City's most recent classification
and compensation study was completed in 2022. Studies are typically conducted every five to
seven years.
CON2026-014: Carson Haynie, Special Projects Manager, stated that the City of Smyrna
entered into an agreement on June 3, 2022 with Rebuilding Together Atlanta, Inc. for the
administration and implementation of a Home Repair Grant Program to assist lower income
homeowners by providing grant funding for housing rehabilitation projects. The City and
Rebuilding Together Atlanta desire to continue the program and assist qualified homeowners.
