RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2010/70 authorizing the deletion of certain positions and laying off employees in the Department of Information Technology.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Three full-time positions, two filled and one vacant, are recommended for elimination. In the Security Division, salary savings of $65,276 will be generated for the remainder of fiscal year 2009/10 and $195,826 annually due to the elimination of one Deputy Director Chief Information Security Officer – Exempt position. In the Operations Division, the elimination of one Systems Software Analyst II position will generate salary savings of $57,356 for the remainder of fiscal year 2009/10 and $172,066 annually. In the Wide Area Network Division (WAN), the elimination of one Deputy Director/Information Technology - Exempt position will generate $193,126 in annual salary savings. Expenditure reductions are offset by reductions in revenue received from other departments. The net future year County general fund savings due to the elimination of these positions is estimated at $561,018 per year.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

BACKGROUND:

In an effort to optimize the Department of Information Technology, flatten the departments existing structure, and mitigate loss of revenue for mainframe operations, the County Administrator is recommending the elimination of three full time positions, producing cost savings to our user departments. Tasks will be absorbed by existing staff.

Therefore, the elimination of one Deputy Director/Information Technology - Exempt is recommended, and the elimination of one Deputy Director Chief Information Security Officer – Exempt position and one Systems Software Analyst II position and the layoff of the incumbents is recommended.
