Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On July 13, 2021, with Legistar item 21-1080, the Board directed staff to amend the Personnel Allocation Resolution to include an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Ombudsman position and an ARPA administrative support position. On August 31,2021, with Legistar item 21-1399, the Board approved Resolution 109-2021 to add 1.0 full time equivalent (FTE) Sr. Administrative Analyst allocation in the Chief Administrative Office to serve as the ARPA Ombudsman and 1.0 FTE Administrative Analyst Supervisor as the ARPA administrative support position. Recruitment for the Sr. Administrative Analyst-ARPA Ombudsman position was pending Board direction on the ARPA spending plan and the resultant complexity of the plan.
The Board approved a spending plan for the ARPA funding on November 9, 2021 with Legistar item 21-1680 version 2. The approved allocation did not include the Sr. Administrative Analyst Ombudsman position as the overall complexity of the spending plan did not warrant the addition of the ombudsman position. Resolution 175-2021 is being brought to the Board for approval to remove the vacant 1.0 FTE Sr. Administrative Analyst ombudsman allocation.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could not approve the Resolution and direct staff to find an alternative.
