☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26356 to reallocate the salary of the Children and Family Services Director - Exempt (XAD5) at salary plan and grade B85 2113 ($12,714.11-$16,226.79) to salary plan and grade B85 1020 ($13,985.49-$17,849.42), in the Employment and Human Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this item will result in an annual cost increase of $26,504 and a cost increase of up to $19,878 for FY 24-25, and will be funded by 10% County, 50% Federal, and 40% State funds.
BACKGROUND:
Human Resources completed a salary study in July 2024 that included the Children and Family Services Director job class. The study results demonstrated that the Children and Family Services Director is currently 13.09% below the median.
Based on the information collected in the study, the current Children and Family Services Director has a maximum salary of $16,226.79, while the median maximum salary of comparator counties is $18,671. Human Resources recommends a 10% increase for a revised maximum salary of $17,849.42 to remain competitive in the job market.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this salary reallocation is not approved, this classification will continue to be compensated at a rate significantly lower than the market, causing potential retention and recruitment challenges.
