Home My WebLink AboutMINUTES - 02062007 - C.47 TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONTRA FROM: Lori Gentles, Assistant County Administrator— Director of Human Resources - COSTA DATE: February 6, 2007 COUNTY SUBJECT: Exemption of Chief of Labor Relations and Principal Labor Relations Negotiator Classifications ` l Abolish Labor Relations Manager-Exempt SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDAMN ADOPT Ordinance No. 2007-02 to exempt from the Merit System the classifications of Chief of Labor Relations and Principal Labor Relations Negotiator, and abolish the classification of Labor Relations Manager-Exempt in the Human Resources Department. FISCAL IMPACT None BACKGROUND The Chief of Labor Relations is a single position classification responsible for directing the County's labor relations program. The Principal Labor Relations Negotiator has responsibility for directing the day-to-day activities of the Labor Relations Unit. Since these classifications are high-echelon positions within the Human Resources Department, responsible for determining and advocating substantive program policy, and for directing the daily operation of the Labor Relations Unit, the Chief of Labor Relations and Principal Labor Relations Negotiator classifications should be exempt. County Counsel has amended the Ordinance as required for exempting these positions and for abolishing the Labor Relations Manager-Exempt classification. The ordinance will now supersede the previous ordinance exemptions positions from the Human Resources Department, pending board approval. RESULT OF NEGATIVE ACTION If this action is not approved, the Director of Human Resources will not be able to ensure maximum responsiveness of these high-echelon classifications. Furthermore, the department's flexibility in filling these highly important positions will be significantly compromised.
