DATED: March 28, 2017

RECOMMENDATION:
     

RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 2017 OPERATING BUDGET- ELIMINATING DIRECTOR OF AUTOMOTIVE POSITION AND PUBLIC WORKS STORES HELPER II POSITION AND ESTABLISHING SENIOR AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC AND SENIOR PUBLIC WORKS STOREKEEPER POSITION (DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS)


Resolution by Legislator: Dimond
Seconded by: Pepe

WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works currently has a vacant Director of Automotive position at a salary of $50,075 (Non-Bargaining Grade O); and

WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works currently has a position of Public Works Stores Helper II position at a salary of $36,378 (Bargaining Unit Grade F); and

WHEREAS, the Commissioner of Public Works has reviewed the required workload and determined that a Supervising Auto Mechanic (Bargaining unit- grade J) and a Senior Public Works Storekeeper (Bargaining Unit Grade H) would better fit the needs of the department; and

WHEREAS, this change would not financially impact the Department of Public Works, and would, in fact, save the department $4,483.00 in base salary.

RESOLVED, the Montgomery County Legislature hereby eliminates the Director of Automotive position and the Public Works Stores Helper II position, and

FURTHER RESOLVED, the Montgomery County Legislature establishes the position of Supervising Automotive Mechanic at a Grade Level J with a base salary of $41,097.00; and establishes a position of Senior Public Works Storekeeper at a Grade Level H with a salary of $40,873. 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Treasurer is hereby authorized to amend the 2017 Operating Budget as follows:

TRANSFER FROM:     
DM-12-4-5130-00-1110 (972)  Director of Automotive  $45,592.00
DM-12-4-5130-00-1110 (148)  Hourly Employees (P/W Store Helper II)  $36,378.00

RESOLUTION VOTE, passed with Aye(8). Legislator Duchessi was absent. (3/28/2017)



Statement of Legislative and Financial Impact:

I. Nature of Request:

Department of Public Works currently has a vacancy for Director of Automotive, and, after a review of departmental needs, it has been determined that a Supervising Automotive Mechanic would be more beneficial to the Automotive Department in Public Works, and a Senior Public Works Storekeeper would better benefit the department.


II. Justification:

The Resolution changes the title from Director of Automotive (Non-Bargaining) to Supervising Automotive Mechanic (Bargaining), as well an upgrade for a position of Public Works Storehelper II (Grade F) to a Senior Public Works Storekeeper (Grade H).


III. Legislative Impact:

The Montgomery County Legislature has the power to eliminate and establish positions of employment and the power to make appropriations.


IV. Financial Impact:

There will be a cost savings in salary from the position of Director of Automotive being eliminated ($50,075.00) to the position being created of Supervising Automotive Mechanic ($41,097 base), and a salary of $36,378 from Public Works Store Helper II to a salary of $40,873 for Senior Public Works Storekeeper, which is a combined savings to the County of approximately $4,483 in base salary.
