ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21468 to add two (2) Carpenter (GFWB) (represented) positions at
salary plan and grade QE5 1569 ($5,109 - $5,633); and cancel one (1) Lead Carpenter (GFTC) (represented) vacant
position #10142 and one (1) Lead Stationary Engineer (GWTD) (represented) vacant position #1970 in the Public
Works Department
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adding two Carpenter positions would result in a cost to the Public Works Department of $218,000 annually;
however, these costs will be offset by the elimination of the Lead Carpenter and Lead Stationary Engineer positions
which will result in a savings of $11,000 annually. The Lead Carpenter and Lead Stationary Engineer positions are
vacant and fully funded for fiscal year 2014/15.
BACKGROUND:

carpentry services in them. These carpenters are needed to keep County buildings looking and functioning
properly. By canceling the two Lead positions, the Public Works Department will be able to save money while
also achieving its goal of responding to all work order requests in a timely and efficient manner.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not carried out, the Facilities Division of the Public Works Department will not be able to
complete work orders and will have to redistribute the workload which will cause delays in project start and
completion dates and delays in the performance of general maintenance for County Departments.
