SUBJECT: Authorizing Relocation Assistance for Employee
Benefits Manager
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)8 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
AUTHORIZE the Assistant County Administrator — Director of Human Resources, or
designee, to approve a one-time reimbursement payment in an amount not to exceed $3,000
to Ms. Christine Penkala for relocation assistance that will include the cost of moving as
related to her appointment as Employee Benefits Manager.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to offset Ms. Penkala's relocation expenses are within the Human Resources
Department budget and will not exceed $3,000.
BACKGROUND
The County retained the services of the executive search firm, Ralph Andersen & Associates,
in January 2005 to conduct a recruitment for the Employee Benefits Manager position within
the Human Resources Department. This position was vacant due to the retirement of Jean F.
Soares after nearly 35 years of service. As a result of an extensive search spanning many
months, Ms. Penkala accepted the position and officially began employment on August 29,
2005.
In order to accept the position, it was necessary for Ms. Penkala to relocate from Southern
California to the Bay Area. A one-time reimbursement payment in an amount not to exceed
$3,000 is necessary to help defray her moving expenses.
