RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 20759 to cancel Chief of Property Conservation (FADG) (Position No. 930), and ADD three (3) Senior Building Inspector (FATE) full time permanent positions at salary level QS5 1800 ($6,350-$7,001).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Annual cost savings of approximately $130,827 resulting from the cancellation of the Chief of Property Conservation position and the subsequent cancellation of the 3 vacated positions after promotional appointments are finalized. Funded 100% by Land Development Fees.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Conservation and Development is trying to flatten the organization and develop future leadership. With the retirement of the Chief of Property Conservation in September, an opportune timing has been presented to the Department to pursue its goal of reorganization and leadership development. In line with this, the Department will cancel the Chief of Property Conservation position and replace it with 3 Senior Building Inspectors who will provide lead direction for the Property Conservation Section. These three (3) Senior Building Inspectors will report to the Department of Conservation and Development Deputy Director, Building Inspection Division. These 3 new positions will be filled through a promotional exam and will come from the Building Inpector II pool. Upon the successful promotional appointments, the Department will cancel the positions being vacated.

The Department will process the P300 to cancel all three (3) vacated positions as soon as the promotional appointments have been made. Once the entire plan is executed, the net effect to the Department will be one less FTE (Chief of Property Conservation).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Department of Conservation and Development will be unable to continue reorganizing and streamlining its staffing levels.
