The fundamental reason this class exists is to have management oversight of Grants within City Departments. Major work functions include supervising the grants staff, managing the development of all grant programs, managing the administration of all grant programs, writing grants and interfacing with various City personnel and management concerning accounting or fiscal needs of grants. Duties are performed with considerable knowledgeable independence according the standards of professional grant writing and administration, City ordinances and state and federal laws.

The employee ensures that all federal and state grant requirements, such as labor standards, environmental reviews, and project/program eligibility, are met in order to provide for new and continued grant funding. Work is supervised and evaluated under the direction of the Finance Director, Grants Director, and the Economic and Community Development Director in those respective departments.
