BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In September 2022, the County contracted with Ralph Andersen and Associates to prepare an update to salary range recommendations and analysis for several classifications. Based on this update, multiple classifications were identified as requiring a salary range increase in order to remain competitive with comparable agencies.
On December 13, 2022, the Board approved equity increases to the agreed upon classifications, including Engineering Supervisor. Due to an administrative oversight, the Engineering Manager was not included, thereby creating compaction between the two classes. If approved, the requested action increases the salary grade to the Engineering Manager classification to the next highest level to avoid compaction with direct reports. This action also deletes a classification that is no longer used.
Therefore, the Director of Human Resources requests adoption of a Resolution approving an adjustment to the Engineering Manager classification salary to avoid compaction and deleting the defunct Engineering MGR - PBES classification, effective December 22, 2022.
