HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09112012 - C.43RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment No. 21143 to add one (1) Buyer II (STTA) (represented) at salary level ZB5 1525
($4,703-$5,717) and cancel one (1) Senior Buyer (STTB) position #112880 (represented) in the Purchasing Division
of the Public Works Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The downgrade of a Senior Buyer position to a Buyer II level will result in a cost savings of $7,807 annually to the
Public Works Department.
BACKGROUND:
On September 30, 2011, Senior Buyer, John Buckhalt retired from County Service. Since this time, we re-hired Mr.
Buckhalt as a temporary retiree to allow us the ability to evaluate a new procurement system to determine the
appropriate level to backfill his position. We have evaluated the current workload in the Purchasing Division, and
believe that it would be most efficient to hire a Buyer II. We believe a Buyer II will allow the Purchasing Division to
achieve its everyday goals while simultaneously allowing the Department to become more cost efficient. Therefore,
we are requesting to downgrade the Senior Buyer to a Buyer II.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without these add and cancel actions, the Department will need to fill a higher level classification and will miss
potential cost saving benefits.
