RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the extension of extra-help hours for Airport Service Worker II, Evin Pelosi, to a maximum of 1,560 hours through June 30, 2023, pursuant to Section 7 of the Humboldt County Salary Resolution limit (4/5 vote required).
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Aviation Enterprise Fund (3530-381)
DISCUSSION:
The Department of Aviation is comprised of 18 full-time positions that operate and manage six county-owned airports. Extra help staff are used for assistance on airfield maintenance, terminal and facilities cleaning and maintenance, aircraft fueling, regulatory compliance, and other related duties as assigned. Due to increased airline service, upcoming capital project construction, and the continuance of recruiting for vacant positions, the Department of Aviation has had to rely on extra-help positions to assist in the increased workload.
Evin Pelosi has become fuel and fire certified and plays a critical role in the mandatory coverage of Humboldt County’s commercial service airport. Therefore, the Department of Aviation is requesting an extension of extra-help hours to a maximum of 1,560 hours through the remainder of the fiscal year (FY) 2022-23. The requested extension of extra-help hours is necessary to maintain the level of service and manage the workload during the remainder of the fiscal year while the department continues to recruit for vacant full-time Airport Service Worker positions.

Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:
The estimated salary and benefit cost for the requested extension of extra-help hours is $13,854. Due to salary savings from vacant positions and from underfilling the Senior Building Maintenance Custodian position, there are sufficient funds budgeted to cover the additional cost. There is no impact to the General Fund.
All extra-help employees working beyond the 960-hour limit are subject to paying into the California Public Employee Retirement System (“PERS”). The additional costs for PERS have been included in the above estimated salary total for the requested extension of extra-help hours.
