3 The County is working toward the objective of implementing the Phase II Classification and Pay Study results effective July 8, 1991, contingent on Board approval. Estimated costs to implement Phase II will be included in the recommended Fiscal Year 1991 -92 budget. To implement the Phase II study results, it is necessary that the County receive State approval of its substantial equivalency exemption request for classification and compensation. On April 18, 1991, State Personnel completed its review of the classification and compensation section of the County's substantial equivalency request. This process has included extensive State Personnel review of the Phase I classification and pay system. In its April 18, 1991 letter (Attachment 2) State Personnel advised Personnel that it will recommend that the State Personnel Commission approve the County's substantial equivalency exemption for classification and compensation at its June 6 meeting, if the Orange Countv Board of Commissioners adopts a requested statement of intent. This statement would specify the Board's intent to apply the same classification and pay system in Health and Social Services Departments as was applied in other County departments as a result of the Phase I Classification and Pay Study and the planned effective date. Attachment 3 is a draft letter from Chairman Carey to State Personnel which conveys the requested statement of intent. State Personnel advises that such a statement of intent is necessary in view of the fact that as of the June 6. State Personnel Commission meeting the Phase Il study will not have been adopted by the Board. The current plan, contingent on study completion, is to report on Phase II study results at the June 3 Commissioner's meeting and to propose adoption of the study results at the June 26. Commissioner's meeting. Following completion and implementation of the Phase II Classification and Pay Study =, our plan is to pursue State approval of the remaining sections of the substantial equivalency exemption on a section -by- section basis. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the statement of intent in the draft letter from Chairman Carey to State Personnel and authorize the Chair to sign the letter.
