1 ORANGE C O U N T Y BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 29, 1993 Action Agenda Item # -C... SUBJECT: Classification Plan Amendment DEPARTMENT: Personnel PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: Elaine Holmes, Personnel Director Extension 2550 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough - 732-8181 Durham - 688-7331 Mebane - 227-2031 Chapel Hill -967-9251/968-4501 PURPOSE: To amend the Classification Plan by changing the salary grade assignment for the class of Economic Development Assistant from Salary Grade 66 to Salary Grade 69. BACKGROUND: The Personnel Department has completed a classification review of the Economic Development Assistant position in the Economic Development Department. This review was initiated because the duties and responsibilities of the Economic Development Assistant position have changed since it was assigned to that class and salary grade in May 1991, when the position was first established. Economic Development has had an increase in new clients each month from approximately 25 to 50. This has required the Economic Development Director to delegate greater responsibility for client management to the Economic Development Assistant. This position now has responsibility for working through the whole process for the clients assigned and requires greater independence of action and judgement. In addition, completion of the strategic directives of the Economic Development Strategic Plan and County Commissioners ' goals in the areas of land use planning; water and sewer provision; minority business participation; and employment and training have required delegation of greater responsibility to this position for representing Economic Development interests to outside organizations.
