body
BACKGROUND:
On July 12, 2016 your Board adopted Resolution 074671 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 2017-2018 is 5,662. This number includes positions authorized for the County Free Library System, the First 5 Commission and SamCERA. In FY 2016-2017 the Board authorized 5,643 positions including adjustments made via salary resolution amendments throughout the year.
The FY 2017-2018 positions are distributed among the departments as follows:

• Include language defining County’s process for determining Affordable Care Act
(ACA) eligibility of extra help employees which states that, “The County will determine Affordable Care Act (ACA) eligibility of extra help employee by virtue of the extra-help worker’s appointed FTE (Full-time Equivalent) upon hire or actual hours worked within a measurement period. Category A (Appointed FTE) - Extra-help workers who work a Full Time Equivalent (FTE) of 0.75 or more (as defined by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010) will be offered coverage effective the first of the following month after hire. Workers who remain in this Category will be included in the County’s Standard Measurement Period (October of current year to October of next year) and will be part of the annual open enrollment process. Extra-help workers in classifications designated as “relief” and “seasonal” are not eligible for coverage under this category. Category B (Actual Hours Worked) - For the purposes of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 the following types of employee classification will be placed in an initial measurement period (IMP) of twelve (12) months from hire date to determine if actual hours worked during this time is an average of thirty (30) hours or more per week:
o Part-time worker: the County reasonably expects worker to be employed on
average less than thirty (30) hours of service per week during the initial measurement period, based on all facts and circumstances on worker’s start date.
o Seasonal worker: customary annual employment for the position is six (6)
months or less, and that period begins each calendar year in approximately the same part of the year.
o Variable hour worker: based on the facts and circumstances on your start
date, the County cannot determine whether the worker is reasonably expected to be employed an average of at least thirty (30) hours of service per week during the initial measurement period because the hours will be variable or otherwise uncertain.
The adoption of this resolution contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Collaborative Community by ensuring that departments have staff with the skills necessary to perform the work and allow departments to provide exceptional service to the community.
This resolution has been reviewed and approved by the County Counsel’s Office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total number of authorized positions for FY 2017-2018 is 5,662 with an estimated annual salary and benefits cost of $1.03 billion.
