ATTACHMENT 1 <br /> The new positions that are included in the Manager's. Recommended Budget are as <br /> follows: <br /> Full Year Funding: <br /> (Public Works) Clerk Typist III <br /> The department has 37 employees operating in four divisions and is <br /> currently supported by one and a half clerical/office management staff. <br /> The volume of activity in the department has significantly increased and <br /> the need for increased clerical support was identified a year ago. We <br /> recommend increasing the part-time Clerk Typist III position to full time. <br /> This is a stop gap measure, however, with the corresponding development of <br /> computer supported programs, we believe it should begin to address the <br /> current workload demands. <br /> (Public Works) Maintenance Mechanic III <br /> Currently we contract for large in-house painting projects. This approach <br /> has ceased to be time or cost effective and it clearly does not provide for <br /> regular upkeep of the County's facilities. This position will provide the <br /> painting services needed. Based on painting projects already scheduled for <br /> FY 87-88, we. will spend in excess of $25,000 and still not have addressed <br /> the need for regular upkeep. <br /> (Public Works) Auto Mechanic I <br /> The number of vehicles maintained by the County has significantly increased <br /> also. It is critical that we staff the garage to meet the workload <br /> demands. Again, the Public Works Director's view is to assure proper <br /> maintenance of the County's investments. <br /> (Social Services) Secretary V <br /> The DSS Staffing Study, presented March, 1986, identified the need for <br /> secretarial support for the Agency Director. The current arrangement of <br /> using a clerical pool only addresses the typing services needed and not the <br /> secretarial support that must be provided. <br /> (Manager's Office) Secretary V <br /> This position will provide primary receptionist coverage for the Manager's <br /> Office. In addition, the position will address the long standing need for <br /> increased .secretarial support. Prior to 1981, the Manager's Office had two <br /> secretarial positions, however one of the positions was transferred and <br /> reclassified to fill, at that time, a critical need in services to <br /> Veterans. Since the workload demands in the Manager's Office have <br /> significantly increased, without staff to support those demands, this <br /> position is key if services are to be maintained. <br /> (Land Records) Property Mapper I <br /> Currently, this department uses temporary personnel to meet the increased <br /> demands for mapping services. While this arrangement did fill the void, <br /> identified a year ago, we cannot continue this arrangement. Therefore, <br /> we decreased the temporary services account and recommended the addition <br /> of a permanent position. <br />
