Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Workforce & Operational Excellence
Strategic Plan Category: 3001 - Support a well-trained workforce
DISCUSSION:
The Human Resources Department conducted a classification review, which resulted in a determination that there is a need for a Project Coordinator I/II classification for the following reasons:
• Succession Planning: The county needs a Project Coordinator I/II to have a more encompassing organizational structure with more clear growth opportunities.
• Departmental Support: The Project Coordinator I/II is needed to support departments with project management. If approved by your Board, and when allocated by departments, the Project Coordinator I/II would provide administrative support for more complex projects as well as the coordination of less complex projects. With the adoption and allocation of this classification, departmental management will have more capacity for the higher-level management of more complex projects.
Thus, the Project Coordinator I/II classification specification was developed by Human Resources to meet the current needs of the County, with consideration of potential future needs of other departments. It is expected that the Project Coordinator I/II classification will be allocated with the budget in the next fiscal year.
It was determined that the Project Coordinator I/II would be placed at the same salary ranges as the Construction Project Coordinator I/II, since the scope and qualifications are similar. The classification will be in the AFSCME - White Collar group.
