RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
3. APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the hiring of county retiree Daniel Lacap, as a temporary County employee for the period of January 13, 2016 through June 31, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the request is granted, there will continue to be salary and employment tax payment for the hours provided of approximately $26,119. These costs will be offset by Probation Collections Revenue.
BACKGROUND:
The Probation Collections Unit has two accounting staff that are critical to the day to day operations. In October 2015, one of the accounting staff was involved in a car accident and went out on a long term medical leave. This left one employee to handle all the accounting activities in the collections unit. In November 2015, the remaining accounting employee announced his intention to retire effective January 1, 2016. Upon his retirement the Probation Collections Unit will not have any accounting staff. Allowing Mr. Lacap to return as a retiree temp is critical to the success of the Probation Collections Unit.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Probation Collections Unit will not have any accounting staff, making the unit much more vulnerable to accounting errors and oversights.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
