RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21829 to reallocate the salary schedule, B85 2010 ($8,147.25 - $10,398.19) of the EHS Chief Financial Officer - Exempt (XAD9) classification to a salary schedule of $8,147.25 - $11,126.06.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in annual costs of approximately $12,581, which includes $3,057 in pension costs. (45% State, 45% Federal, 10% County funding)

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department recently recruited and hired a new EHS Chief Financial Officer. Since that time, the incumbent has made a significant contribution to the department, has modernized out-of-date fiscal operations, created the budget management system needed in the 21^st century that allows the department to monitor revenue and expenditures in real time and make informed decisions to maximize revenues. Additionally, the department is on the cusp of partnering with other county and community agencies to leverage and braid funding streams in such a way as to enhance the County’s ability to provide safety net services without increasing county general fund costs. Although EHSD is still not fully recovered from the effects of the Recession in regard to meeting compliance and audit expectations, the EHS Chief Financial Officer’s leadership in this regard has been highly productive.

The requested action is to compensate the employee for the significance of the work being performed that is far and above that of the job specification of the original recruitment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the County will be negatively impacted by the loss of a highly-trained individual key to the Department of Employment and Human Services' financial operations.
