RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution #20898 to cancel one (1) Treasurer's Accounting Officer (S5SG) (represented) position #314 and add one (1) Tax Compliance Officer (S5WB) (represented) at salary level QV5 1194 ($3,484-$4,235) position, in the Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost associated with this request is approximately $29,891 for FY 2010-11 (March through June). The cost will be completely offset by the cancellation of the Treasurer's Accounting Officer position (#314) and flexibly downgrading a vacant Accountant III position (#6623) to an Accountant I position. The result will be a cost savings of approximately $976.

BACKGROUND:

The Tax Compliance Officer position will be a significant addition to the collection of delinquent property taxes. An Account Clerk has been temporarily assisting the Tax Compliance Division and it will allow that Account Clerk to be utilized in the Cashier Division which has been struggling to meet staffing requirements relating to internal controls and separation of duties.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not having a Tax Compliance Officer will limit the office's ability to keep up with the statute of limitations for collection of delinquent property taxes. It will also hinder staffing requirements in the Cashier Division relating to separation of duties and internal controls.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
