TITLE: APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR DEPT. HD./?zf
DISTRICT ENGINEER POSITION
IECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 722 authorizing the General Manager to fill the District Engineer's position and appropriating funds.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
A recommendation of the "Management and Operating Planl@ for the District was to separate the General Manager/District Engineer position. Currently, the General Manager also serves as the District Engineer and performs all of the engineering functions for the District. As a result, funds to pay the District Engineer as a separate position were not included in the current budget.
The present drought situation plus the additional responsibilities of the sewer and reclaimed water functions (also recommended in the *Plan') create demands on the General Manager's time that prevents the Manager from performing the District Engineer's functions properly.
A classification and compensation study will be undertaken soon by the Human Resources Department. Upon completion of this study, a search for a permanent District Engineer will begin. This could take 6 to 8 months. However, it is desirable to have someone perform the necessary engineering functions as soon as possible. Therefore, this request is to fill the District Engineer position on a temporary basis until a permanent full-time engineer can be hired.
The District's Administrative Code presently includes the District Engineer's position and also allows for the District to fill that position with a temporary.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is approximately $400,000 in the Unappropriated Reserve Fund for fiscal 1990-91. Approximately $75,000 needs to be transferred from the Unappropriated Reserve Fund to the Operating Budget for a temporary to fill the District Engineer position. The appropriation of these funds will reduce the Unappropriated Reserve Fund balance to $325,000.00.
