RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the waiver of the 960-hour extra-help limitation for Maria Pilipenko, to a maximum of 1,500 hours for fiscal year (FY) 2025-26, pursuant to Section 7 of the Humboldt County Salary Resolution (4/5 Vote Required).

Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board's Strategic Plan.

Area of Focus: Workforce & Operational Excellence
Strategic Plan Category: 9999 - Core Services/Other

DISCUSSION:
Human Resources has operated without a funded full-time Secretary position within the Personnel Division for approximately four years. To maintain critical administrative and operational functions during this period, the department has relied on extra help staffing to support ongoing service demands and departmental operations.

Approval of the requested extension from the standard 960-hour limitation to a total of 1,500 hours will allow the department to retain the current extra help employee in this assignment and maintain continuity of operations within the division. Continued employment of an experienced individual in this role supports operational efficiency, preserves institutional knowledge, reduces training and transition impacts, and enhances the department's ability to provide consistent support to county departments and employees.
