RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/78 to combine and retitle the classifications of Chief Auditor (SFDB) and Chief Accountant (SAGC) to Auditor-Controller Division Manager (SADD), with a five (5) step range ($8,831-$10,734), move incumbents to new steps, and abolish defunct classes of Chief Accountant and Chief Auditor; correct the Board Action of January 23, 2017, to place employee at step 6 of the salary table in the classification of Systems Account II; and, acknowledge that the incumbents in the aforementioned classifications will be eligible for review for within-range step adjustments on their next anniversary date.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action has a current year fiscal impact of approximately $26,000. The annual approximate cost of this action would be $93,000, including $28,000 in pension cost.

BACKGROUND:

A review was completed of like classifications (performing Chief Auditor and Chief Accountant work) with the Auditor-Controller’s Offices in the following comparable counties: Alameda, Marin, Napa, Sacramento, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano and Sonoma. Contra Costa County’s classifications were 15.5% below the median salary of those comparable counties. It is recommended that these two classes be combined into one new classification with a 5 (5%) step range with Salary Plan and Grade – B85-1004 ($8,831.055-$10,734.200). With this adjustment, the classifications will continue to be below the median salary of the comparable counties.

The attached resolution will create the new classification of Auditor-Controller Division Manager (SADD), move incumbents into the new class, cancel the two existing classes and correct the January 23, 2018 Board Action, to place employee #72097 at Step 6 of the salary table in the classification of Systems Account II.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this modification, the County would continue to experience difficulty attracting and retaining candidates and may be detrimentally impacted by the loss of highly-trained personnel.
