RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21877 to add one (1) Information Systems Specialist lll (LTTA) (represented) position at Salary Plan and Grade TB5 1541 ($5,323 - $6,470) and cancel one (1) Web Producer (LBTF) (represented) vacant position #16341 at Salary Plan and Grade ZB5 1543 ($5,334 - $6,483) in the Information Technology Division of the Employment and Human Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval of this transaction will result in cost savings. This position is funded 42% Federal revenue, 48% State revenue, and 10% County cost.

BACKGROUND:

As a part of their ongoing strategic assessment, the Information Technology Division has determined that adding one Information Systems Specialist III and canceling Web Producer position #16341 will provide flexibility to support the various initiatives and requirements of EHSD. The Information System Specialist III will be responsible for updating content and managing the Internet (Web), as well as various Intranets maintained by the Employment and Human Services Department. This work is currently being performed by a contract employee. Discontinuing the current contracted employee and canceling a vacant Web Producer position will result in a cost savings as well as off-set the cost of adding one full-time Information System Specialist III position.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Information Systems Specialist III position is not approved, the Department will not have the internal resources required to maintain the Internet and the multiple departmental Intranet websites responsible for updating current content and properly functioning websites..

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Ensuring that EHSD’s websites are updated with current content and functioning properly is important to their effectiveness as an outreach tool and safety net for the community we serve.
