Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Human Resources Department recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 114-2018 to amend the authorized Personnel Allocation Resolution for the Human Resources Department by deleting one (1.0 FTE) Sr. Risk Management Analyst and adding one (1.0 FTE) Risk Management Analyst I/II, and direct that the above change be added to the FY 2018-19 Position Allocation Schedule.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Director has been strategizing with the Risk Manager on how best to staff the Department to provide efficient and collaborative services to County employees and the public. Recently, the Sr. Risk Management Analyst was promoted through an open recruitment to the position of Risk Manager. As part of the staffing assessment, it has been determined that the department does not need a Sr.-level Risk Management Analyst at this time, and would instead like to fill the vacant position at the I/II level. The goal is to eliminate workload silos by cross-training employees and building the knowledge base of the Risk Management Analyst I/IIs.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the add/delete and require that the Human Resources Department fill the position at the Sr. level.
OTHER DEPARTMENT / AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
Chief Administrative Office
CAO RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board approve this item. The position allocation change recommended above is not currently reflected in the FY 2018-19 Recommended Budget due to timing. If approved, the recommended allocation change will be reflected in an amended Position Allocation Schedule that will be presented to the Board for approval following the release of the FY 2018-19 Recommended Budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total annual savings by downgrading the allocation from Sr. to the I/II level is between approximately $10,000 and $35,000, depending on level and salary step.
CLERK OF THE BOARD FOLLOW UP ACTIONS
