RECOMMENDATION(S):

CORRECT the Board Order approved on October 16, 2012 (C.54) adopting Position Resolution No. 21170 to reallocate the salary of the classification of County Welfare Director - Exempt (XAA2) from BD5, 2561 ($13,119.26 - $14,463.98) to BD5, 2592 ($13,528.18 -$16,443.59) on the salary schedule, to change the effective dated from October 1, 2012 to January 1, 2013.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of this salary reallocation will be approximately $23,800 per year. This reallocation is within the Employment and Human Services Department's fiscal year 2012 - 2013 budget.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The salary reallocation will apply to the acting Direction, which is not intended

BACKGROUND:

In April, 2012, the position of County Welfare Director - Exempt became vacant. Upon review of this classification's salary grade, duties and responsibilities, a salary survey was conducted of the nine Bay Area Counties. Based upon the results of the survey, it was determined that the salary level of this classification was below market value. In order to advertise and recruit and hire a very qualified candidate for this critical position within the County, it was determined that a salary reallocation was necessary. This salary reallocation contains $600.00 per month in lieu of compensation previously provided as a car allowance.

In addition to the current duties and responsibilities of this position, the new Director will also be responsible for anticipating changes in how health care reform services are provided. These changes will require increased collaboration and integration between the Employment and Human Services Department and the Health Services Department. This position will also be responsible for building collaborative partnerships with the County's public safety and justice partners, supporting the requirements placed on the County by the state for returning prisoners and for diverting persons from the state prison system.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
