RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22055 to add one (1) Administrative Analyst (APWA) (represented) position at salary plan and grade ZB5 1277 ($4,099 - $4,982) and cancel one (1) Clerk-Specialist Level (JWXD) (represented) vacant position #5957 at salary plan and grade 3RX 1156 ($3,627 - $4,632) in the Animal Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, the approximate cost of this action will be $1,193 for fiscal year 2016/17. This position will include an additional annual expense of $7,157. This position will be funded by 32% User Fees, 31% City Revenue, 37% County General Fund. The revenue to support this position will be continued in Fiscal year 2017/18.

BACKGROUND:

The Animal Services Department has encountered considerable growth in the past few years, which has caused an increase in the volume of recruitment and hiring. In order to manage the high volume of administrative work associated with this growth, the department has identified a need for an Administrative Analyst to support its financial and personnel unit. This position will be responsible for managing and monitoring the department's recruitment, hiring, and financial analysis projects. In an effort to offset the cost associated with adding this position, the department has requested to cancel one Clerk-Specialist position that has been vacant for a year and a half.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Animal Services Department will not be able to efficiently process the increased volume of both financial and personnel projects and transactions. This will negatively impact the department's administration operations, causing delays in addressing hiring needs and leaving the department understaffed.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
