Title
Chief Administrative Office recommending the Board consider the following:
1) Adopt Resolution 177-2011 amending the bargaining unit for the Air Pollution Control Officer position from UM to UD, and
2) Adopt the amended job specifications for the Director of Environmental Management and Deputy Director of Environmental Management, deleting responsibilities for the Air Quality Management District.
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: Minor savings due to contribution differences between department head and unrepresented management positions.
Background: The Air Quality Management District (AQMD) is a legislatively created district separate and apart from other County departments. Until September of 2010 the AQMD was a division of the Environmental Management Department. The AQMD has since been removed from the Environmental Management Department and functionally established as a separate department managed by the Air Pollution Control Officer.
As the head of a division of the Environmental Management Department, the Air Pollution Control Officer previously reported to the Director of Environmental Management. Consequently, the bargaining unit for the Air Pollution Control Officer has been Unrepresented Management.
Reason for Recommendation: The bargaining unit for the Air Pollution Control Officer should reflect the "at will" department head status of the position (Attachment A). The Director and Deputy Director of Environmental Management no longer have responsibility for the AQMD. The amended job specifications (Attachments B and C respectively) reflect this change.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Board Clerk to provide copy of executed Resolution and amended Environmental Management job specifications to the Human Resources Department for processing.
