FROM:

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 reclassification of two positions, addition of one position and deletion 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 three unclassified positions 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.
|
|
|
Discussion
|
The salary ordinance changes herein represent:
|
• reclassifying two positions,
|
• adding one position,
|
• deleting one position, and
|
• converting three unclassified positions to classified status as required by Measure D.
|
|
|
These actions were approved for study by the County Manager's Office and the amendment has been reviewed by the County Counsel’s Office.
|
The specific actions are discussed in detail below.
