BUILDING AND GROUNDS CLERICAL SUPPORT The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/15/88: ----------------------------------------------------------- -- 4� TO CHARLES P. BALCZUN : COUNTY ADMINISTRATORS SUBJECT BUILDING AND GROUNDS CLERICAL SUPPORT DATE JUNE 15, 1988 On February 19, 1988 we employed Brenda Starr Jordan as Clerk Typist for the Building and Grounds Division. Ms. Jordan filled a vacant, budgeted position allocated as Custodian. She was referred to us under the auspices of the Job Training Partnership Act for on-the-job training. During the training period, JTPA reimbursed the County for 50% of her salary. Board action on March 15, 1988 gave approval to hire Ms. Jordan in the training position. The Board stipulated that the matter be brought back before it at the expiration of the training period. Further consideration would then be given the matter. Mr. Williams has requested that the position be continued. There is justification for maintaining the position. Building and Grounds is a major division of County government. It is charged with overseeing the maintenance and repair of all County facilities. As such it needs to be in the position of keeping accurate records and responding to calls for assistance. Mr. Williams cannot be physically present in the office each working hour of each -day to handle trouble calls. Additionally, it would not be prudent to station a Tradesworker in the office to handle such calls, when that individual's time could be better spent performing the duties of his classification. Since we recently filled the Risk Manager's position, a need exists there for clerical support. That need was foreseen and budgeted for in the current fiscal year. Like the Risk Manager position, it has remained vacant. I am recommending that, at least for the remainder of the fiscal year, Ms. Jordan be assigned to perform clerical duties for both Building and Grounds and Risk Management. Each function would contribute 50% of the cost of maintaining the position. As mentioned above, funds are available in the Risk Management budget. Funds are also available in the Building and Grounds budget. However, they are budgeted for a vacant Custodian position; which position has funded Ms. Jordan's position. It is requested, reclassify a full Grounds budget to Typist. therefore, that the Board be petitioned to time Custodian position in the Building and a halftime Custodian and a halftime Clerk A. ankenship, Jr. P Director of Personnel 35 500K °7 , .�� 89
