TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY Memorandum | |
| | | | | | | | | To: | Board of Directors | | From: | Todd Muck, Executive Director | | Meeting Date: | January 24, 2018 | | Subject: | Authorization to Hire Additional Transportation Planner |
| |
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION: | | AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to recruit and hire a Transportation Planner position not currently in the adopted Agency budget. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | SUMMARY: | | This action authorizes hiring an additional Transportation Planner not included in the Agency's current adopted budget. The number of Agency Transportation Planners will return to the current number (six) when a current planner departs for graduate school summer 2018. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT: | | The estimated cost in fiscal year 2017/18 for this additional transportation planner position would be in the range of $24,000 to $30,000. The net impact to the Agency's fiscal year 2017/18 operating budget will be no more than $15,000 due to a budgeted intern position being vacant for the first nine months of the fiscal year. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION: | Agency management was given advance notice by a current staff member that they will be leaving the agency during summer 2018 to attend graduate school. This advance notice provides an opportunity to hire a replacement transportation planner sooner than would normally be possible. The overlap between the current and new planner would allow for training and transition of assignments.
Transportation Agency Board of Directors approval is required to hire staff positions not listed in the current adopted Agency budget. This additional planner would exceed the number of positions authorized in the Agency's adopted budget for a short period of time. The number of Agency Transportation Planners will return to the current number (six) when the current staff member departs for graduate school this summer. |
