Reclassification of Existing Positions Occasionally in local government, the duties, responsibilities, and other factors that potentially affect the accurate classification of a position evolve over time. Section 7.0 of Article VI of the Personnel Ordinance establishes the County's process for addressing such situations. Financial Services -The County Manager has decided to consolidate the major financial management functions of Orange County government -including finance, budget, debt management, and purchasing -under one director. With the planned retirement of the County's long-serving Finance Director at the end of November 2007, it seems prudent to modify the title of the existing Finance Director classification to one of Financial Services Director. This will allow County staff to recruit for the Finance Director's successor with a classification that reflects the broader responsibilities that will be assigned to the position by the County Manager. Landfill Operations - The Landfill Operations Manager position in the Solid Waste Department became vacant in June 2006. Personnel and Solid Waste have conducted several recruitment cycles that have failed to yield a successful candidate to fill the position. Of necessity, several of the most critical duties of the vacant position have had to be absorbed by the Solid Waste Operations Manager, the Landfill Engineer, and others. The Department has proposed, and Personnel concurs with, a reclassification of the vacant position to a lower salary grade. The reclassified position would retain supervisory responsibility for 12 personnel, but would have less rigorous requirements for technical landfill management expertise and for formal education. Inspections Division -Planning & Inspections Department -The Department requested review of four positions in the Inspections Division, noting that the duties and responsibilities of each had become more demanding since the County's 2001 Classification & Pay study. Significant changes in the Division's work environment that persuaded Personnel staff that reclassification of each position is warranted include, among others, the following: • increased number of inspection positions now in place; . • greater emphasis on and delivery of direct customer service; • enhanced technological capabilities for recording and reporting status of permit applications and inspections on individual properties/projects;
