DATE: April 4, 2017
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Brandi Orth, County Clerk/Registrar of Voters
SUBJECT: County Clerk - Elections Salary Resolution Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve Salary Resolution Amendment as reflected in Appendix "F" adding one (1) Program Manager position to County Clerk-Elections Organization 2850 effective April 10, 2017.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will add one (1) new Program Manager position. This position will ensure the Department has sufficient managerial positions to mitigate the excessive amount of overtime required of staff during election cycles. The position will provide an adequate number of managers to conduct elections without negatively impacting other divisions in this department.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board could opt not to approve the recommended action. Should the requested position not be approved, the Department will continue to have an inadequate number of managerial staff to perform and oversee multiple operations within the timeframes prescribed by law. The unpaid mandatory overtime hours required of managers will continue at unsustainable levels. During the 150-day period covering a major election cycle, the service levels of the non-election divisions of the department will be impacted by the reassignment of staff from those programs to perform elections duties.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The recommended Salary Resolution Amendment adds one (1) position. The estimated increased cost for salaries and benefits associated with the one (1) position in FY 2016-17 of $25,858 will be offset by contract reductions. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues are included in the Department's Org 2850 FY 2016-17 adopted budget. The FY 2017-18 cost of $133,747 for the position will be funded with fee revenues of $43,468 and full year contract reductions of $90,279.
