45. EXEMPTION TO THE POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH ENHANCEMENT (RETIREMENT) PROGRAM Approve the creation of two classified positions in the Planning & Development Department. These positions requests are necessary due to employees’ participation in the Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement (Retirement) Program (PEHPEP). The Planning and Development Department has determined that the creation of these new positions is necessary to support business operations and continuity. Also, approve an exemption to the PEHPEP in order to recruit for the Business/Systems Analyst position with the hiring range of $19.89/Hour to $22.96/Hour which is more than the required recruiting range. Positions #61140 and #01599, in the Planning and Development Department were inactivated as a result of the previous incumbents’ participation in the 2009-10 Retirement Health Enhancement Program. The position attributes are as follows: MRT: Business/Systems Analyst Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $22.96 MRT: Operations/Program Manager Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $44.62 Due to the nature of these positions, the Planning and Development Department, feels it necessary to replace the positions #61140 and #01599 with new positions with the following attributes: MRT: Business/Systems Analyst Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $22.96 MRT: Operations/Program Manager Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $37.47 The Planning and Development Department will achieve savings through hiring a new employee at a lower rate of pay than the retiring employee. This will result in $17,838 annual savings as required under the FY 2009-10 Retirement Health Enhancement Program. (C-44-10-074-M-00)
