RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22120 to add one (1) full-time Assistant Risk Manager (AJDP) (unrepresented) position at salary plan and grade B85 1804 ($7,117 - $8,650) in the Risk Management Division of the County Administrator's Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Estimated annual cost of $149,373 including $24,081 in pension costs. Funded through Self-Insurance Internal Service funds generated by departmental charges.

BACKGROUND:

Risk Management requires an additional Assistant Risk Manager position to manage the financial operations of the Risk Management Division. Risk Management's financial operations have been managed by a part-time Contractor for over 20 years. For succession purposes, the County requires that the function be managed by a permanent employee moving forward.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Risk Management's financial operations are imperative to the success of the Department and the programs being administered. The incumbent will be responsible for calculating annual insurance charges for County departments, providing reports for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) on the self-insurance funds, completing and reviewing excess insurance carrier renewal applications, and monitoring self-insurance funds confidence levels.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should this recommendation not be accepted it would be necessary to hire a contractor with the accounting expertise to calculate department insurance charges, provide Risk Management internal service funds report for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), complete and review excess insurance carrier renewal applications, and monitor internal service fund program confidence levels. Each of the items listed are critical for Risk Management financial operations.
