Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:
The temporary assignment of 1.0 full time equivalent (FTE) Road Maintenance Worker III to a 1.0 FTE Road Maintenance Supervisor is calculated to cost an additional $126 for salary and benefits per pay period. Salary and benefit costs related to the Road Maintenance Supervisor position are included in the recommended budget for fiscal year 2023-24, Public Works, Road’s budget unit 1200-325. This expenditure will be covered by salary savings with positions that are vacant during the recruiting process. The ongoing challenge with the Road Fund is the negative fund balance and very long delays in reimbursements from federal and state sources.
