body
BACKGROUND:
On February 24, 2015 your Board adopted Ordinance 04733 which allowed that a resolution establish the number of all appointed County officers and employees and their compensation and benefits. The resolution is the base document identifying the number of authorized positions and classifications for all County jobs. It also establishes the compensation and certain benefits other than base pay for County officers and employees. Base pay and other compensation is established by resolution for each employee group and is listed herein as the amount paid for each bi-weekly pay period for information only.
Each year, following budget hearings, your Board adopts the annual Master Salary Resolution that enacts the decisions made by the Board concerning the number of positions in the County service. Throughout the year salary resolution amendments indicate changes in positions and the compensation established herein that occur in the various operating departments.
DISCUSSION:
The total number of positions authorized by your Board for FY 2020-2021 is 5,755. This number includes positions authorized for the County Free Library System, the First 5 Commission, Retirement (SamCERA) and LAFCO. In FY 2019-2020 the Board authorized 5,782 positions including adjustments made via salary resolution amendments throughout the year.
The FY 2020-2021 positions are distributed among the departments as follows:
The resolution also includes special compensation and benefits other than base pay for represented and management positions that have been adopted through resolution amendments from the previous fiscal year.
Also reflected in this resolution is the conversion of five unclassified positions in Org 61000 - Behavioral Health and Recovery Services to classified via Measure D. Measure D which was adopted by San Mateo County voters in November 2004 requires that any unclassified positions continuously filled for at least three years be converted to classified status. The above positions meet this requirement. This action represents no change in the monthly salary and benefits cost and no changes in the total number of authorized positions. The positions being changed are as follows:
• One position of B244, Patient Services Specialist - Unclassified
• Four positions of B112S, Mental Health Case Worker Series - Unclassified
This resolution has been reviewed and approved by the County Counsel’s Office as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total number of authorized positions for FY 2020-2021 is 5,755 with an estimated annual salary and benefits cost of $1.14 billion.
