3 <br /> 1. To shift staffing for on-going, continuing transportation <br /> commitments such as Orange Enterprises, Middleschool <br /> Afterschool program and Burlington dialysis medical <br /> transportation from temporary staff to permanent staff. <br /> 2. To use the current permanent scheduler position to provide <br /> back up driver coverage to assure driver availability for <br /> scheduled routes and free current drivers from duties such as <br /> transporting vehicles to the motor pool. <br /> 3. To provide additional permanent staff coverage for the daily <br /> Cedar Grove Nutrition and Head Start routes now covered by <br /> temporary staff. <br /> 4. To use temporary staff for short term agreements, special <br /> trips and some back up coverage rather than for on going <br /> commitments. <br /> To accomplish the above it is proposed that: <br /> Four permanent part time driver positions be increased a <br /> total of 15 hours per week or about .375 full time equivalent. <br /> The current scheduler position be increased from permanent <br /> part time 25 hours per week to permanent full time (an <br /> additional .375 full time equivalent). <br /> • A new permanent part time 32 hour or .80 full time equivalent <br /> position be established to cover on going contractual <br /> commitments. <br /> These staffing changes can be funded from within already <br /> approved transportation service contracts and do not require any <br /> additional County funds. <br /> Recommendation: The Manager recommends the Board approve: <br /> 1. Increasing the hours of four permanent part time driver <br /> positions to full time. <br /> 2. Increasing the hours of the permanent part time scheduler <br /> position to permanent full time. <br /> 3. Establishing a new permanent part time (32 hour or .80 full <br /> time equivalent) driver position. <br />
