RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Approve amending Fiscal Year 2019-20 Auditor-Controller budget (1110-AUD001-8374-001) in reallocating one (1) Auditor-Controller Analyst I (20B24) to one (1) Accountant Auditor III (20B22); and

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The management team at the ACO is working diligently to review each of its division’s organizational structure and its needs. The vacancy of an Auditor-Controller Analyst I has created the opportunity to restructure the General Accounting Division of the Auditor-Controller’s Office to a more efficient and effective long-term structure.
Currently the General Accounting Division includes five Analysts and three Accountant-Auditor IIIs. The restructuring will allow each ACO Analyst to be supported by an Accountant-Auditor III, which will strengthen independent review process within the General Accounting Division and create a more sustainable and efficient long-term structure. The Analyst group will focus on more complex and advanced tasks while establishing a sound review process over the areas delegated to Accountant-Auditor IIIs.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Budget Committee supports this action. The Human Resources Department has reviewed and approved the Request to Classify form and supports this action.
FINANCING:
The cost saving from this reallocation is estimated to be $13,200. This saving will help offset a prior opposite reallocation in the Disbursement Division approved on September 10, 2019 resulting in no additional cost or saving to the ACO overall budget.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
This proposed action will allow the Auditor-Controller’s Office to promote an organization that practices efficient and effective resource management, and create an opportunity to attract, recruit, or retain a diverse, talented workforce that supports the mission of the County of Monterey.
