Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No. 20728 to add one (1) permanent full-time
Airport Office Assistant (9BSA)position at salary level 3R5-1193 ($3,481 - $4,231) to the
Airport Division of the Public Works Department.

elimination of a contracted position. The annual net cost of approximately $2,867 will be

airport-related operations. This action will have no fiscal impact to County general fund.

The Airports Division of Public Works currently has one (1) temporary contract
Administrative Intern who is responsible for noise abatement, community outreach and
environmental issues. The Airport is a 24/7 operations and this position is very critical to the
day-to-day operations of the airport.

Subject:Add one full-time Airport Office Assistant (9BSA)
In response to the fiscal challenges brought about by the State budget, there is a move
within the Public Works Department to terminate all contract and temporary employees.
Although the Airports Division falls within Public Works, its operating budget is not
dependent on the State budget or the county general fund. Airport operations are funded
100% by the Airport Enterprise Fund, which rely on airport revenues and federal grants. In
fact, the Airport Enterprise fund is expected to realize a surplus of approximately $300,000
at the close of FY 2008/09.
To remain consistent with county and Public Works Department's policy with regards to the
use of contract and temporary employees, the Airport Division is proposing to terminate the
contracted (temporary) administrative intern position and replace it with a
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
permanent, full-time Airport Office Assistant. The division is already strained in its
ability to meet existing administrative workload demands in the areas of operations, noise
abatement, environmental issues, community outreach, real property and budget
planning, and their staffing needs would be better served by having a permanent
employee perform the critical functions of this position. The permanent Airport Office
Assistant will be able to provide a consistent, broader range of responsibilites, giving
more staffing flexibility to the Airport Division.
There is adequate funding within the Airport Enterprise fund to support this additional
position.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the department will continue be challenged in meeting the
increase in work; the position would be better served replacing the exisiting temporary
Administrative Intern with a permanent employee.
