RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Extend Cailan Halliday extra-help employment hours 960 hours to a maximum of 1,920 hours for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 pursuant to Section 7 of the Humboldt County Salary Resolution (4/5 vote required).

Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Roads-Right of Way (1200322)

DISCUSSION:
Cailan Halliday has been working as an extra-help employee during the current fiscal year. As of Feb. 11, 2019, Mr. Halliday has worked a total of 715 hours.

There is a sufficient allocation in the Extra Help expenditure line, budgeted in Roads-Right of Way (1200322), to accommodate the increase in hours. Funding may also be pulled from the Services and Supplies expenditure line to cover any overages. There will be no impact to the General Fund.

All extra help employees working beyond the 960 hours are subject to paying into the California Public Employee Retirement System (PERS). The additional costs for PERS have been included in the above-mentioned estimated salary cost.
