RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No. 20744 to reactivate the classification of Public Works Chief of Administrative Services (APDF), reallocate to salary level B82 1894 ($7,180 - $8,748 with two 2 1/2% performance steps to $9,191), add one (1) permanent full-time position; and cancel one (1) permanent full-time Administrative Services Officer (APDB)vacant position #12265; and cancel one (1) permanent full-time Clerk - Senior Level (JWXC) vacant position #6617 in the Public Works Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact to County general funds. The additional costs incurrred by the addition of this position will be offset by the cancellation of two vacant funded positions, resulting in an annual cost savings of approximately $52,000.

BACKGROUND:

Due to the local and state budget challenges, we are implementing strategies that include reorganizing our department and streamlining our staffing levels. In light of the limited resources and the elimination of middle management positions, it has been determined through an evaluation process that a higher level position is required to meet the challenges of the increasing higher level responsibilities and complexities associated with our department’s fiscal administrative functions. The Public Works Department requests to reactivate the classification of Public Works Chief of Administrative Services that was inactivated November 1, 2003. We feel these strategies will assist us with increasing the efficiency of the department on all levels.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Department of Public Works will be unable to continue reorganizing and streamlining staffing levels in their fiscal divison.
