PURPOSE: To receive a report on recommended new positions and requested changes in
existing positions for 2000-01 and to discuss any questions, concerns and areas of support.
BACKGROUND: Under separate cover, the Board has been provided with the staff 2000-01
Position Report. This covers:
- The Manager's recommended new positions for fiscal year 2000-01,
- Requested changes in existing County positions,
- Alternative resource options to meet two departmental staffing requests and
- An update on approved positions for fiscal year 1999-00.
Beginning in 1999-00 the Board changed its budget process to provide for an earlier budget
work session on new position requests and requests for position changes. The purpose of this
is to allow more time for Board questions and discussion of position needs.
In the April 24 work session, the Manager will present each of the recommended new positions
and the requested existing position changes. The involved department head will be available to
answer the Board's questions and provide any needed additional information.
The objective of the work session is to provide an opportunity for the Board to receive
information about the requests, to ask questions, to identify any additional information needed,
to express any concerns and, to the extent Commissioners desire, to indicate any areas of
support.
The Board is not being asked to take action on the recommended new positions or requested
position changes in the April work session. The Manager will use the April work session
information and discussion in developing the Manager's Recommended Budget for 2000-01.
The Manager also will use this information in considering recommended priorities in addressing
new positions and position changes. Such priorities will be necessary to address the Board's
request for alternative budget scenarios. that provide for no tax increase, aone-cent tax
increase, and a two cents tax increase.
If the Board does not complete the position discussion on April 24, the work session schedule
provides for the Board to continue the discussion as needed in the May 9 work session.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The 2000-01 Position Report includes detailed information on the cost
impact of the recommended new positions and position changes.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the Position
Report as in#ormation and discuss the requests as outlined in this abstract.
