RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Allocate 1.0 FTE 1.0 Senior Environmental Analyst (salary range 429, class 0520) and deallocate 1.0 FTE Environmental Analyst (salary range 397, class 0208) in fund 1100, budget unit (BU) 251- Water Management, effective immediately.
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Natural Resources 1100-251, General Fund
DISCUSSION:
During the fiscal year (FY) 2019-20 budget process 1.0 FTE Environmental Analyst (salary range 397, class 0208) was allocated and 1.0 Senior Environmental Analyst (salary range 429, class 0520) was deallocated. This was a miscommunication within the department and was not the intended action. Program needs require the skill set of a Senior Environmental Analyst to manage complex water rights projects. Salaries for the Senior Environmental Analyst were included in the FY 2019-20 adopted budget. This action will return staffing allocations to prior levels and will appropriately reflect program needs and budgeted salaries.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There will be no impact to the county General Fund, as salaries for the recommended personnel allocation adjustments were included in the approved FY 2019-20 budget in fund 1100, BU 251-Water Management.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by investing in county employees and providing community-appropriate levels of service.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
N/A
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board may choose not to approve the reallocation. However, this alternative is not recommended because it will have a negative impact on the department’s ability to meet the needs of the community and comply with environmental regulations.
