Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On December 11, 2018 (Legistar #18-1740) the Board provided direction to proceed with the transfer of the emergency preparedness and response and emergency medical services program functions from the Health and Human Services Agency to the Chief Administrative Office.
On January 29, 2019 (Legistar #19-0022) the Board approved the addition of 1.0 FTE Deputy Chief Administrative Officer position in order to provide appropriate fiscal and budget analysis of the emergency management system, along with fire agency liaison responsibilities. It was noted in that item that should an employee currently in the Chief Administrative Office be promoted, staff would return to the Board to delete a position. A Principal Management Analyst was promoted to the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer position. The deletion of this now vacant position will offset the cost of the addition of the Deputy position.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose to not delete the position, however, this would result in ongoing salary and benefit costs.
