4 <br />Types of Employers for Inclusion in Labor Market Survey <br />Before the labor market study can be conducted, it will be necessary to identify the <br />employers to be surveyed for comparable positions. For purposes of obtaining the <br />consultants' proposals, it was specified that these would be about 10 North Carolina public <br />employers. <br />For the Board's consideration, it is recommended that these be other North Carolina <br />counties that meet at least two of the criteria below: <br />❑ Comparable in population size <br />❑ Comparable in labor market situation (that is, in close proximity to a rapidly growing, <br />competitive market) <br />❑ Geographically close to Orange County. <br />Timelines <br />If the study is conducted by one of the three consultants listed above and approval to the <br />consultant to proceed is in place by November 2, the timelines will be those shown in <br />Attachment 1. If the decision is to seek to do the study in house, the timeline will be that <br />noted or otherwise agreed. If the decision is to pursue other consultants or arrangement, <br />the timeline will be extended by whatever time is required for such consideration. <br />Financial Impact: Consultant costs are as noted under the consultant portion of this <br />abstract. Funds are available within the approved budget for 1999 -00. <br />Recommendation: The Manager recommends the Board receive the study update and <br />provide any additional direction to staff as desired. <br />H; \e \dhequ.doc <br />October 7, 1999 <br />
