☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee

RECOMMENDATIONS:

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26246 to add one (1) Principal Appraiser (DADC) (represented) position at Salary Plan and Grade ZA2 1926 ($11,153-$14,276) and cancel one (1) Supervising Appraiser (DAHC) (represented) vacant position No. 10132 at Salary Plan and Grade ZA2 1715 ($8,829-$11,302) in the Assessor’s Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The salary and benefits increase will be approximately $13,934 annually and $8,128 this fiscal year. The increase will be absorbed in the current budget (100% General Fund).

BACKGROUND:

The Assessor’s Office is requesting to add one Principal Appraiser position and cancel one vacant Supervising Appraiser position. Currently, the duties of the Principal Appraiser position in the Commercial and Industrial Division are being managed by an Assistant County Assessor.

The Commercial and Industrial Division is responsible for the valuation and assessment of all commercial and light industrial real property in the County, including a variety of special use properties. The division receives a large number of assessment appeals, which are often highly complex and very time-consuming.

While an Assistant County Assessor is managing the duties of overseeing the complicated and complex Commercial and Industrial Division, the time commitment required to manage the operations and workload has become cumbersome. Adding a Principal Appraiser position is necessary to ensure the Department meets the State’s requirement to deliver the assessment roll by July 1^st each year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the action is not approved, the duties of the Principal Appraiser position in the Commercial and Industrial Division will have to continue to be performed by an Assistant County Assessor.

I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of an action taken and entered on the minutes of the Board of Supervisors on the date shown.

ATTESTED:

Monica Nino, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
