38. EXEMPTION TO THE POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH ENHANCEMENT (RETIREMENT) PROGRAM-ACCOUNTANT COUNTY POSITION Approve an exemption to the Post Employment (Retirement) Health Plan Enhancement Program (PEHPEP), approved by the Board of Supervisors on November 16, 2009, and allow Accountant-County Position #30084, grant-funded, classified, to remain an active position in Human Services Department (HSD). Also, approve an exemption to the PEHPEP in order to recruit for the Accountant position with a hiring range of $18.76 per hour to $23.00 per hour. The PEHPEP requires that positions vacated as a result of the Program participation be inactivated. However, HSD has determined that maintaining this position is critical to the execution and success of fiscal and grants operations of the Finance Division, and to meeting the mission of the Department. The requested recruitment hiring range is more than the required recruiting range. However, due to the retirement of an Accountant, recruiting at this range and filling the position will not create additional cost to HSD, and will result in a minimum budgeted annual savings of $1,851.00.
