DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
In June 2016, the County engaged Koff and Associates (K&A) for the provision of professional services to design, conduct, and assist in recommending an implementation approach of a classification (Phase I) and compensation (Phase II) study for all County positions. The overall goals of the classification and compensation study included: developing a competitive and fiscally responsible pay and benefit structure that is based upon market data and meets the needs of the County with regards to recruitment and retention of qualified staff; ensuring employees be recognized for the level and scope of work performed, and that they are paid on a fair and competitive basis, and ensuring class specifications reflect current programs, responsibilities, and technology.
In September 2017, the Human Resources Department requested and received Board approval (Legistar # 16-0098) to implement, in phases, the County-Wide classification study. As the result of such, Human Resources has been working with departments (management and employees) and unions to implement the recommendations.
One of the K&A recommendations from the class study was to reclassify certain Department Analyst I/II positions to the newly created class of Administrative Analyst I/II. The Board last adopted the Administrative Analyst I/II class specification in May 2018 (Legistar # 18-0702).
Therefore, HR is recommending the following for the Department of Transportation:
• Lateral reclassification of 1.0 FTE from Department Analyst I/II to Administrative Analyst I/II in accordance with Personnel Rule 507.1.1:
(a) The competitive recruitment and selection process is being waived by the Director of Human Resources at the request of the appointing authority; and
(b) The incumbent meets the minimum qualifications of the new class.
• Consistent with Personnel Rule 612.1 Lateral Reclassification, the salary will remain as-is.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose to deny the allocation change and direct Human Resources to review other options.
