RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21233 to add one permanent Safety Services Specialist-Level B (represented) position in the Risk Management Division of the County Administrator's Office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action is projected to result in an annual cost of $91,629. The current contract with EORM will be reduced by $125,000 to fund this position, resulting in a savings of $33,000.
BACKGROUND:
The reinstatement of this position will allow Risk Management to address loss trends in order to yield long term reduction in workers' compensation and liability claims savings and reduce the need to use contractors as supplemental backup to the Assistant Risk Manager/Loss Control. It is preferable to have a County employee assist the Assistant Risk Manager/Loss with the increased training that has been required on newly mandated programs.
