Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On June 20, 2017, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Master Position Allocation Table for FY 2017-2018 Budget, Resolution No. 17-081.
Summary of Request:
The Human Resources Department is charged, as part of the overall maintenance of the classification and compensation plan, to evaluate current classifications, create new classifications (including appropriate salary levels), reclassify positions, examine requests for salary grade adjustments, analyze allocations, and make recommendations for additions, modifications, and corrections.
At the request of the department and the direction of the Board, Human Resources reviewed the classifications and the salaries of the Planner and Building Inspector series due to the extreme difficulty in recruiting and retaining employees. The salary grades were reviewed in conjunction with a salary study. Using Planner II as a benchmark, the Planner series is approximately 24% below market. With regard to turnover, currently 43% of the Planner allocations have been vacant between one (1) and seven (7) months. Of the nine (9) current Planner incumbents, five (5) have less than two (2) years of service with the County, and three (3) have less than five (5) years of service with the County. Using Building Inspector II, as a benchmark, the Building Inspector series is approximately 21% below market. With regard to turnover, while all of the current allocations are filled, with the exception of one (1) Senior Building Inspector with over 17 years of service in the Planning and Building Services department, one (1) position is filled with a Building Inspector II with 16 months in the position, and the remaining five (5) positions are filled at the Building Inspector I level with the current incumbents each having less than 12 months in their positions. The County has fulfilled its obligation with the affected bargaining unit. The fiscal impact below reflects approximate wages and the cost of benefits; the department will endeavor to absorb the costs associated with this action without a budget adjustment.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Direct staff to study alternatives.
