RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Position Adjustment Request No. 21947 to establish the classification of Financial Systems Manager (LBSE) (unrepresented); allocate to the salary schedule at salary plan and grade B85-2220 ($10,430-11,500), and reclassify one Information Systems Project Manager (LPNA) (represented) position #209 and its incumbent at salary plan and grade ZA5 1884 ($7,476 - $10,019) to Financial Systems Manager (LBSE) at salary plan and grade B85-2220 ($10,430-11,500) in the Auditor Controller Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will result in an annual cost of $19,656 ($5,126 due to pension) and can be accommodated within the department's budget.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Financial Systems Manager will be a single position class within the Office of the Auditor-Controller and serve as a key member of the Auditor-Controller's management team. The incumbent will be responsible for the overall design, management, and ongoing evaluation of the County's Finance System and support of other complex countywide systems. This classification may supervise and mange staff that assist with large financial systems development projects.

Presently, there is an Information Systems Project Manager position assigned to the Office of the Auditor-Controller. This classification does not accurately reflect the responsibilities, duties, complexity, consequence of error, and knowledge required to manage the County's Finance System and for implementing and maintaining system interfaces for the exchange of financial data. The position was studied and it was determined that a new classification was required to ensure that the current and future Financial Systems structure is properly managed.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, it jeopardizes the present and future stability of the County's Finance System.
