BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract with Robert Half International, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $200,000 for temporary financial and accounting support services for the period October 4, 2022 through June 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Up to $200,000; 100% General Fund. The department plans to use this contract to backfill vacant positions, if needed. For that reason, the contract will be offset by cost savings and cost neutral to the budget.

BACKGROUND:

The County Administrator's Office is responsible for oversight of County operations, including review of critical budget and policy matters impacting County departments. Staff vacancies result in longer processing times for routine transactions and analysis of materials submitted by departments for listing on the Board of Supervisors' agenda calendar, including contracts for special services and requests for authorization to apply for and accept grant funding.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This contract would allow the department to secure qualified, temporary help in periods where staff vacancies result in a significant impact to day-to-day operations. It is anticipated that costs related to the contract would be covered by cost savings related to vacant staff positions (that are being backfilled by the contract).

Robert Half International, Inc. holds multiple contracts with departments within the County, including the Department of Information Technology and the Employment and Human Services Department, and continues to provide excellent and responsive services to the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The department will be unable to secure temporary assistance during staffing vacancies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
