Donna Vaillancourt, Human Resources Director
|
SUBJECT:
|
Recommended Revision to the Salary Ordinance
|
Recommendation
|
Adopt an ordinance amending the salary ordinance and accept the report on the total number of positions in the County.
|
Vision Alignment
|
Commitment:
|
Responsive, effective and collaborative government.
|
Goal 20:
|
Government decisions are based on careful consideration of future impact, rather than temporary relief or immediate gain.
|
The addition of one position, deletion of one position and reclassification of one position will assist departments in meeting their individual performance expectations by assuring that they have staff with the skills necessary to perform the work. The conversion of one unclassified position implements the will of the voters as reflected in their passage of Measure D.
|
Background
|
Each year following budget deliberations your Board adopts the annual salary ordinance. The ordinance enacts the decisions made during budget hearings concerning the number of positions in the County service. Throughout the year, because of changes in the operating needs of departments, salary ordinance amendments are recommended that make adjustments to department staffing configurations.
|
