The amendments to the Article I and the revision of Article III direct the County Manager to develop Administrative Rules and Regulations that are consistent not only with the Ordinance but also with federal Fair Labor Standards Act, its implementing regulations and state law. This will allow the County Manager the administrative flexibility to carry out the will of the Board through the development of rules and regulations that are consistent with local, state and federal law and in particular consistent with the Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs overtime compensation. Staff has drafted for your review, Administrative Rules and Regulations for the overtime compensation section of the Personnel Ordinance. (See Attachment 3, Administrative Rules and Regulations: Overtime Compensation) The amendments and the revisions to the Ordinance and a copy of the Administrative Rules and Regulations has been reviewed by the County Attorney, Department Directors and appropriate staff members for review. Staff also provided a presentation to the Board on these proposed revisions at the December 3, 2007 regular meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The financial impact may vary from department to department, based on compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and its implementing regulations, but will be reflected in the fiscal 2007-08 budget recommendations presented to the Board. RECOMMENDATIONS: The County Manager recommends that the Board (1) adopt the amendments to Article I, Section 6.0 and 7.0 of the Orange County Personnel Ordinance; (2) adopt the revision of Article III, Section 3.0 acid repeal the current Article III, Section 3.0 upon adoption of the revision; (3) review the Administrative Rules and Regulations: Overtime Compensation and make the changes to the Personnel Ordinance adopted by the Board effective upon the signing of the Administrative Rules and Regulations by the County Manager.
