Warehouse Worker 70F79 1.0 2.0
TOTAL: 0.0
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The department warehouse has grown substantially and receives large amounts of client records, forms and supplies for storage. The current staffing levels are not able to respond adequately to meet department customer needs. A position is needed to receive, store, inventory and deliver department records and supplies to the numerous department locations and warehouse.
Additionally, due to a shortfall in Workforce Investment Act funding, the Board took an action on July 24, 2012, to issue layoff notices in the Office of Employment and Training (OET). Included in the proposed layoffs is one filled Senior Storekeeper position. The department believes that this reallocation will help the department meet its ongoing needs within the warehouse while providing an opportunity for a displaced worker.
For these reasons, it is recommended that your Board approve this action.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Merit System Services and Human Resources Department were consulted and concur with this recommendation.
FINANCING:
For FY 2012-13, the additional cost associated with the reallocation of the position is estimated at $4,855, and an annual cost of $5,826 thereafter. This cost will be absorbed by DSES SOC005-8262 budget. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues in SOC005 are included in the FY 2012-13 Adopted Budget to accommodate this change. Approval of this action has no additional impact on the County General Fund.
