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 direction of the Board, Human Resources began a salary study of the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Road Crew Worker, Equipment Operator, Senior Equipment Operator, Bridge Crew Worker, Bridge Crew Supervisor, Road Crew Supervisor, and the Heavy Equipment Mechanic series classifications. In conjunction with the salary study, the DOT requested a classification study of the classifications involved in road maintenance. Both studies were requested due to the extreme difficulty in recruiting and retaining employees in the above listed classifications. The pay associated with these classifications runs between 20% and 24% below market. The proposed salaries for the new classes and the salary grade revisions for existing classes are approximately 15% above current pay levels. DOT is currently attempting to fill 10 vacancies in these classifications; on-going recruitment efforts typically result in only a small handful of applicants. Human Resources conducted the studies which included a recommendation of a new series titled Road Maintenance Worker I/II/III/IV/V-Lead and Road Maintenance Supervisor I/II/III adopted by the Civil Service Commission on February 21, 2018. The County has fulfilled its obligation with the affected bargaining units. The fiscal impacts below reflect the approximate increase to wages and the cost of benefits. The costs associated with this action will be met through a combination of State and local funds (non-General Fund). The Department of Transportation is able to meet the additional costs without a budget adjustment.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Direct staff to study other options.
