Approve the amendment to the County's Class Title and pay Plan for the Chief Building Official.
SBC FILE NUMBER: 790
AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The County has been recruiting for the position of Chief Building Official for more than a year on a continuous basis. To date, the County has received relatively few applicants. While a few of the applicants were minimally qualified, they were due not suitable for the position either due to lack of interest or lack of the required knowledge skills and abilities.
A survey of comparable counties (Kings, Mariposa, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Fresno, Merced, and Stanislaus Counties) indicates the Chief Building Official is 27% below the median of the survey counties. The County has a critical need to fill this position to maintain the County’s on-going operations, and additionally, this action will result in work being performed by County staff, rather than with outside firms.
As such, staff is recommending that the Board approve salary adjustments to this class as follows:

The cost for the remainder of the current fiscal year is approximately $9,580 and will be funded through reduction in payments for contract services. The annual ongoing increase is $28,740 and will be included as part of the FY 2017/18 budget.
