RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Ordinance No. 2013-05 amending Section 33-5.413 of the County Ordinance Code to Exempt from the Merit System the classification of Labor Relations Manager-Exempt, as requested by the Human Resource Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no cost associated with this action.

BACKGROUND:

The Labor Relations Department was reorganized in 2007, resulting in abolishing the Labor Relations Manager-Exempt (AGD1) classification. The Labor Relations Manager-Exempt position was replaced with the new class of Principal Labor Relations Negotiator-Exempt, to assist the Human Resources department in managing contract negotiations. An increase in and more complex contract negotiations currently necessitates establishing the Labor Relations Manager-Exempt classification to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Labor Relations Unit.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the department will not have adequate staff and resources in the Labor Relations Unit.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
