Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund, Aviation Fund
DISCUSSION:
The Human Resources department is endeavoring to correct errors in the county’s classification system and compensation schedule. During staff’s review, Human Resources determined that the Senior Administrative Analyst/Senior Administrative Analyst Trainee (M/C) had classification numbers that were formatted in a way that was inconsistent with the county classification system and therefor caused confusion. During this review, the job specification was also reviewed and updated to accurately define the position. This included removing the Trainee level of the classification as having this level is unnecessary as incumbents would gain experience in either the Administrative Analyst I/II classification or possess equivalent experience. This update to this classification, already adopted in bargaining unit 009, would not change the compensation or allocations that currently exist for this classification.
In addition to making these changes, Human Resources is proposing also adopting this job classification as an AFSCME classification to create a path for advancement for incumbents in the Administrative Analyst I/II classification currently adopted in bargaining unit 001. Human Resources proposed placing the new classification of Senior Administrative Analyst (bargaining unit 001) in salary range 459 to mirror the Staff Services Analyst III (MSS) currently adopted in the county classification structure. Essentially, adopting this new classification would create a county equivalent to the Staff Services Analyst family to serve the needs of departments and allow incumbents of the Administrative Analyst series to advance to a similar level of the Staff Services Analyst III (MSS). As there are no allocations for this position yet, adopting this specification will not impact the county general fund or modify any existing allocations.

Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:
This item will not have a financial impact on the county, as it only adopts a new classification into our structure and modifies an existing classification. When departments allocate this new classification they will define the financial impact of that allocation in their Board of Supervisors item.

Narrative Explanation of Staffing Impact:
This item will not impact county staffing levels or current allocations. The impact to the incumbents of the Senior Administrative Analyst (M/C) is that their job classification has been updated, however this will not change their compensation or allocations. When departments seek to allocate either the Senior Administrative Analyst (M/C) or the newly adopted AFSCME version of the classification, the financial impact and staffing impacts will be defined on their Board of Supervisors items.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Framework.
Core Roles: Support business, workforce development and creation of private-sector jobs
New Initiatives: Invest in county employees
Strategic Plan: 4.4 - Attract and retain the best county employees
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
AFSCME Local 1684
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board may choose not to adopt this job classification. This is not recommended, as not doing so will prevent Human Resources from correcting our classification structure and Compensation Schedule and will likely cause future confusion. Additionally, not adopting this classification in AFSCME will cause an imbalance in the career opportunities between the Staff Services Analyst and Administrative Analyst career families.
