Staff recommends that the Board approve the requested change to the full-time equivalency (FTE) for the Support Clerk position.

If the requested FTE change is not approved the position will not be able to continue to provide the needed clerical support for the department.

Staff requests to change the assigned FTE for the Parks & Recreation Support Clerk position from a 0.0 FTE to a 0.50 FTE.  This position provides clerical support and fills in for staff absences.  The position was originally scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week and is now consistently working 22+ hours per week, requiring the change in FTE.  Per the County Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual, FTEs shall be evaluated periodically or when the employee’s schedule changes.  This change is being requested based on the employee’s increase in the number of hours worked per week.  The increase in weekly hours for the remainder of FY 2019 is estimated to cost $2,700.  There is no increase in the employee’s hourly rate and there is sufficient funding to cover the increase in hours in the Parks & Recreation Budget.

Adequate funding is budgeted and appropriated within the FY 2019 Parks & Recreation Budget.
