DISCUSSION:
The County Administrative Office (CAO) maintains an office that is open to the public and requires support staff for the Management and Budget Team. Beginning in Jan. 2020, extra-help staffing was needed due to an employee taking medical leave. In addition, on June 12, 2020, an additional staff member resigned their position.
Rosa Maciel began her extra-help assignment in the County Administrative Office as a Fiscal Assistant I on December 16, 2019. Ms. Maciel's responsibilities include and are not limited to providing support to the CAO staff's day-to-day operations while staff are working in the office and remotely, processing of the county's utility bills and vendor invoice processing.
On approximately June 16, 2020, Rosa Maciel will reach the maximum of 960 hours. The County Administrative Office is requesting an extension of 100 hours for a maximum of 1060 hours for the remainder of the fiscal year.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Estimated salary and benefit costs for the requested extension of extra-help for the remainder of the fiscal year is $1,976. The necessary extra help expense has been included in the FY 2019-20 Adopted Budget....
