Ray in an amount not to exceed $120,000 to provide human resource consulting services during the period of July 1, 2004— June 30, 2005. BACKGROUND William G. Ray worked for Contra Costa County for over 35 years until his retirement in 2003. Subsequently, Mr. Ray agreed to return as an independent contractor while the department recruited to fill not only his position of Human Resources Project Manager, but also the vacant position of Assistant Director of Human Resources. Attempts to recruit for the Assistant Director have been unsuccessful, primarily due to location and salary issues. We are now in the process of another recruitment with interviews scheduled for this month. In the interim, Mr. Ray has again agreed to perform the majority of the responsibilities of the Assistant Director's position while still performing specialized projects and assignments as the Human Resources Project Manager. Mr. Ray provides ongoing supervision, training and mentoring to the staff members of this unit and currently is recruiting for several executive level positions. While this is not the ideal situation, it will enable us to continue to provide seamless and uninterrupted service to our customers. Therefore, it is imperative for the Human Resources Department to execute this contract. Mr. Ray's expertise, institutional knowledge and historical perspective are of immediate and substantial value not just to this department, but to the County as a whole. We intend to recruit for Mr. Ray's position during this fiscal year. FISCAL IMPACT The Human Resources Department has budgeted monies for the execution of this contract. x CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: YES SIGNATURE: _=--RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE --APPROVES OTHER SIGNATURES.• �- ACTION OF BO N UL3�1(l9_ 2, 1004 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED 'K OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS 1( i HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE AND CORRECT ( UNANIMOUS ABSENT_ � ) COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AND ENTERED ON THE AYES: NOES: MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE ABSENT: ABSTAIN.
