RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26087 to add two (2) Planner I (5AWA) (represented) positions at a salary plan and grade ZB5-1476 ($6,135.13 - $6,763.98) in the Department of Conservation and Development.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The net cost is $236,554.12 annually, of which $36,186.52 is retirement costs. Funding for these positions will come 100% from Land Development funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) is requesting the addition of two Planner I positions. Additional Planner I level work is needed to address an increase in the amount and the complexity of program activities in various Divisions within DCD, including Current Planning, Housing and Community Improvement and Policy Planning/Sustainability. Some of the increased demand for planner work is related to implementing Measure X allocations in the areas of housing, sustainability and illegal dumping. The addition of two planners is recommended to assure timely processing of projects and timely program implementation. Additionally, these Planner positions are needed to facilitate redistribution of workload to enhance the services provided by the Department.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Department’s ability to appropriately distribute work to support operational needs would be negatively impacted.
