Prepared By:

Suresh Prasad

Cost Estimate: 

$22,000

 

General Counsel Approval:  N/A

Committee Recommendation:  The Administrative Committee reviewed this item on June 10, 2019 and recommended it be discussed by the full Board as an Action Item on the June 17, 2019 agenda.

CEQA Compliance:  This action does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines section 15378.

 

SUMMARY:  Since the retirement of Joe Oliver in 2016, the District has operated with one less division, certain Water Resources Division functions were combined with Planning and Engineering Division, and the Fisheries unit reported directly to the General Manager.  At this time, the General Manager proposes to convert the Riparian Projects Coordinator position to an Environmental Resources Manager position to manage the staff and functions of the Environmental Resources Division.  The staff member currently in the Riparian Projects Coordinator position will assume additional higher-level management duties associated with directing, managing, and supervising the programs and activities of the Environmental Resources Division. This position will report directly to the General Manager.

 

A job description for this converted position is attached as Exhibit 26-A.

 

The position would be placed at Range 47-D on the District’s current salary schedule. 

 

RECOMMENDATION:  It is recommended that the Board authorize the conversion of the Riparian Projects Coordinator position to Environmental Resources Manager position and associated salary range.

 

IMPACTS TO STAFF/RESOURCES:  The cost differential between salary range 42-E (Riparian Projects Coordinator) and salary range 47-D (Environmental Resources Manager) will be approximately $22,000 in salary and benefits.
