Agenda Item 5
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On February 14, 2007, the Executive Committee approved twelve new positions to
support the resources needed to implement the Western County Highway 10-Year
Delivery Plan. The Commission has since then undergone significant organizational
changes, given the recent retirements of Eric Haley, former Executive Director, and
Hideo Sugita, former Deputy Executive Director, and the promotion of Anne Mayer
from Deputy Executive Director to Executive Director and John Standiford from
Director of Public Affairs to Deputy Executive Director.
The Commission has adopted, through consecutive budgets, financial and
administration policies that govern organizational structure. The following policies
have established the basis for the management team recommendations.
a) The Commission shall budget no more than one percent of Measure A
sales tax revenue for administrative salaries and benefits.
b) Administrative program costs will be budgeted for what is reasonable
and necessary, but not to exceed four percent of Measure A sales tax
revenues (inclusive of the one percent salary limitation),
c) Commission staffing levels will be consistent with the intent of its
enabling legislation, which envisioned a small and effective staff.
d) Consultants will be used to augment staff efforts as much as possible
to support programs or workloads that do not appear to be of a
permanent nature.
The FY 2007/08 budget allocated 44.0 Full -Time Equivalents (FTE) resulting in
budgeted administrative salary and benefits and administration costs at 0.87% and
2.28%, respectively. A mid -year staffing addition in the finance department for the
Procurement and Asset Staff Analyst position results in a current staffing allocation
of 45.0 FTE positions. This position does not have a direct impact on the
one -percent salary limitation, given that this position will be supporting all programs
on procurement and contract issues. The finance staff will monitor the actual
one -percent salary limitation monthly to ensure that the Commission does not
exceed this percentage.
The Biennial Compensation Study is in progress and is scheduled for completion in
April. It is anticipated that this study could recommend pay structure revisions in
several classifications as a result of the competitive market for transportation
professionals. Deferring the above requested actions until the study completion
was considered, however, rejected due to critical need to backfill the vacant
positions. Staff does not expect revisions to the above positions with respect to
responsibilities and reporting relationships.
