The fiscal impact is described in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 Recommended Budget (http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/45407).

On April 18, 2017, the Board held Budget Hearings required prior to adopting the FY 2017-18 Recommended Budget. At the conclusion of the hearings, the Board directed the County Administrator to return with a Resolution ordering the addition and deletion of positions and classifications necessary to effectuate the FY 2017-18 Recommended Budget actions. The attached Position Adjustment Resolution (No. 2017/117) incorporates those changes directed by the Board as part of the FY 2017-18 Recommended Budget. The Resolution adds and/or eliminates positions and classifications in the following departments: Auditor-Controller, Clerk of the Board, County Administration, Employment and Human Services, Human Resources, Probation, Public Defender, Public Works, Risk Management, Sheriff- Coroner, and Contra Costa County Fire Protection District departments.

Attachment H reflects a net increase of 20 positions to Public Works. Building Maintenance will increase by 14 positions, including Stationary Engineers, Electricians, Steamfitters, Painters, Groundskeepers, Carpenters, Electronic Systems Specialists, and Capital Facilities Project Managers. All are needed to address the increasing needs of County facilities, specifically the Joint Commission requirements of Health Services facilities. Several of these positions will be assigned to specific facilities. Fleet Services will add one (1) Supervisor and two (2) Equipment Mechanics to better manage workload and daily operations. Print and Mail will add one (1) Duplicating Machine Operator position to provide technical and logistical support that is currently being provided by temporary staff.

Three (3) additional Fire Dispatcher positions and one (1) Assistant Fire Chief position will be transferred from the District’s operating budget to the EMS Transport fund in recognition of the EMS workload assumed through the EMS ambulance contract between the District and the County.  
  
Three lay-offs are anticipated by these actions. Further, additional positions in various departments will continue to be held vacant (but not eliminated at this time) in order to achieve prescribed cost savings through normal and managed attrition to the greatest extent possible.

Potential delay in modification, addition and deletion of targeted positions, which may impact service delivery.
