RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/249 to exclude the class of Chief Information Officer/Director of Information Technology - Exempt (LTA1) (unrepresented) from the performance pay plan, which includes two (2) outstanding pay for performance steps, and reallocate it on the Salary Schedule to a seven-step range from salary plan and grade BD5 2392 ($12,739 - $17,071) to salary plan and grade BD5 2392 ($14,045 - $18,821) which includes the removal of the two (2) lower steps and adding two (2) steps to the top range as recommended by the Director of Human Resources-Exempt.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will result in an annual cost increase of $27,410 for salary and benefits, including $4,419 for pension costs and will be recovered through service fees charged to user departments.

BACKGROUND:

When the County's Chief Information Officer announced his resignation, effective June 30, the County Administrative Office requested that Human Resources review the compensation to ensure a competitive salary for recruitment of a new Chief Information Officer. The study found the County was below market. The recommendation that the classification be exempted from the performance pay plan and changed to salary plan and grade BD5 2392 ($14,045 - $18,821), which includes the removal of the two (2) lower steps and adding two (2) steps to the top range, brings the position in line with the Bay Area counties.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Disapproval of the recommendation will likely increase the difficulty of attracting and retaining high-quality candidates to the Chief Information Officer/Director of Information Technology.
