20 <br />Appendix B <br />Recommended Personnel and Costs for the <br />Environment and Resource Conservation <br />Department <br />1. Administrative Assistant II -Proposed new permanent full-time position <br />Because there are no existing administrative assistants in Planning that could <br />be re-assigned without dramatically affecting the ability of Planning to <br />address the boards and staff it retains, it is recommended that a new <br />Administrative Assistant position be established for this department. The <br />Administrative Assistant would be needed due to the responsibilities of <br />supporting staff and developing commission/board minutes for several <br />boards. <br />Associated Costs: $18,000 (half-year salary and benefits) <br />Impact on Planning Department Projects: None. <br />2. GIS Project Coordinator -Proposed reassignment of existing permanent <br />full-time position. <br />This position would be responsible for coordinating GIS products and the land <br />records database for staff and the commissions/boards that the department <br />supports. It is recommended that current GIS Project Coordinator Beth <br />Young be re-assigned to the ERCD. As one of two existing Planning GIS <br />members, Beth has had many occasions to produce coverages of an <br />environmental and resource conservation nature, including recent work with <br />the Triangle Land Conservancy on the "Landscape wth Wildlife" report. <br />Associated Costs: None <br />Impact on Planning Department Projects: A substantial portion (perhaps <br />over 50%) of recent duties for Planning GIS personnel has been related to <br />environmental or resource-oriented projects. As this position becomes part of <br />the new department, existing Planning GIS projects in this field will be <br />accordingly reassigned to the ERCD. One GIS workstation and access to a <br />second would be shifted to the new department, consistent with the shift in <br />workload and projects. <br />
