A-4. DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT POSITION REQUEST Approve the creation of an Unclassified position (Director - Emergency Management) in the Emergency Management Department. This position request is necessary due to the fact that the current Director is participating in the new Post Employment Health Enhancement (Retirement) Program (PEHPEP) which requires that the current position (#331) be eliminated. Creation of this position is necessary because the department can not operate without a Director position. Approve an exemption to the PEHPEP in order to recruit externally for the newly created Unclassified Director - Emergency Management position with the range of $37.44/Hour to $47.72/Hour. Position 331, in the Emergency Management Department, was inactivated due to the previous incumbent’s participation in the 2009 Retirement Health Enhancement Program. This position’s current attributes are as follows: MRT: Director - Emergency Management Status: Unclassified Budgeted Rate: $47.72 Due to the nature of this position, the Emergency Management Department feels it necessary to replace position 331 with a new position. The new position’s attributes will be as follows: MRT: Director - Emergency Management Status: Unclassified Budgeted Rate: $47.72 Due to the impending retirement of a Planning Supervisor, the department will eliminate a vacant Planner position, and plans to reorganize with the creation of a Planner/Communications Manager position. This will result in achieving at least $16,524 in savings as required under the 2009 Retirement Health Enhancement Program. Since Emergency Management has already achieved $120,310 in budgetary reductions between the General Fund and the Emergency Management Fund for FY 2010, no further reductions are required at this time.
