I `
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
i
Accept the Report on Cost Savings Measures in the Social Service Department.
BACKGROUND:
On June 21, 1988, the Board approved the establishment of the Social Service
Program Analyst class, the reclassification of various persons and positions.
At that time, the Board requested a follow-up report on the results of the
cost savings measures, which were to be implemented along with the new
classification as part of the Department's reorganization. The specific costs
savings measures combined offering an Early Retirement option and reducing the
total number of positions in the classes of Program Analyst and Administrative
Analyst.
A total of 4 .8 positions were reduced/eliminated in the classes of Program
Analyst and Administrative Analyst. A total of five (5) people retired or
transferred into other vacancies. In June, 1988, staffing in these two
classes consisted of 35.4 positions/people, as of March, 1989, only 30. 6
remain.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Annual cost ', for two (2) Program Analyst positions = $105, 192
Annual Cost ', for 2 . 8 Administrative Analyst positions = $154 , 795
COST SAVINGS = $259, 987
One time only Cost of Early Retirement Option
(@ $11, 000 per year x three (3) people) - $ 33 , 000
TOTAL COST SAVINGS for 189-90 $226, 987
The annual cost reduction of $259,987 from 4.8 less positions will be reflected
in our budget as a reduced staffing level in the Program Analyst and-`.,
Administrative Analyst classes.
