2. Direct the County Administrator and Personnel Director to report to the Internal

BACKGROUND:
On February 5, 1985, the Board directed the County Administrator to establish job
specifications for a new position of Transportation Planning Manager:.to serve .as a
division head within a newly created Community Development Department and return to the
Internal Operations Committee with his recommendations on February 11 , 1985.
Our Committee met with the Personnel Director and staff from the County Administrator's
Office on February 11 , 1985. Our Committee reviewed the proposed specifications for
a position titled Transportation Planning Manager. We were generally pleased with the
specification, but wanted more time to study the position and the proposed salary. We
met again with staff from the Personnel Department and County Administrator' s Office
on February 25. We decided that to recruit the best possible candidate for the
position, and in light of the individual 's responsibilities as a division head in the
Community Development Department, the salary should be at the same level as the existing
salary for Deputy Public Works Director. We agreed with the broad, generic specifications
for the class which permit someone with either a planning or engineering background to
qualify for the position.

Our Committee believes strongly that during the period of time that will be
required to recruit and hire a Transportation Planning Manager it is necessary
for certain critical tasks to proceed. In order to accomplish these tasks, we
believe that a consultant needs to be retained on an interim basis, and that the
County Administrator should proceed to recruit such an individual and to recommend
to our Committee a specific work program for which the Board should contract with
this individual . This isiparticularly important since we believe that a Transportation
Planning Manager should not be hired on a permanent basis until the new Director of
the Community Development, Department is on board.
