ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 20909 to add one (1) full-time Senior
Structural Engineer (NEVB) (represented) position at salary level ZA5 2011 ($7,825-
$8,627) in the Department of Conservation and Development.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The costs resulting from this personnel transaction will be fully covered by fees to be paid
by Mirant Marsh Landing, LLC, for the engineering and building inspection reviews of the
Marsh Landing Power Plant. There is no impact to the General Fund. The estimated annual
cost for salary and benefits of this position in FY 2011-12 would be approximately
$175,000, if the position is approved; these costs would be offset by the elimination of one
existing Plan Checker II position with annual savings of approximately $104,000. The
estimated pension cost (county retirement contribution) is $44,700 for the position of Sr.
Structural Engineer, and $21,700 for a Plan Checker II, on an annual basis.
BACKGROUND:
In the next three weeks, the planning phase for the Marsh Landing Power

Subject:Establish one 40/40 Senior Structural Engineer Position (NEVB)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Plant will begin. The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) has been
designated by the California Energy Commission (CEC) as the Building Official
responsible for the engineering review of all plans and the inspections of all construction
work on the power plant. In order to fulfill our responsibilities to the CEC as the
designated Building Official, DCD will need to add one Structural Engineer position as
soon as possible to meet the additional work demands. Costs for this work will be fully
covered by the Mirant Marsh Landing Company which owns and will operate the power
plant.
Our recent layoff resulted in one of our Structural Engineers being demoted to a Plan
Checker II. This incumbent is number one on the Structural Engineer list so our plan is to
move incumbent to this newly created Structural Engineer position and to then cancel the
Plan Checker II position once it is vacant.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
DCD would forego several million dollars in revenues for the department and county,
which it can obtain by providing plan review, inspection, and other services for the
Marsh Landing Power Plant.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
