88. EQUIPMENT SERVICES PEHPEP POSITIONS REQUEST Approve the creation of five classified positions in the Equipment Services Department. These position requests are necessary due to employees’ participation in the Post Employment Health Enhancement (Retirement) Program (PEHPEP) which requires that their position be eliminated. The Equipment Services Department has redistributed workload in response to these retirements. The creation of these new positions is necessary because of current demand for services. The following positions in the Equipment Services Department were inactivated due to the incumbents’ participation in the 2009 Retirement Health Enhancement Program. The positions’ current attributes are as follows: PCN: 4034 MRT: Mechanic - Automotive Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $20.83 PCN: 4053 MRT: Mechanic - Automotive Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $21.12 PCN: 4086 MRT: Mechanic Supervisor Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $29.54 PCN: 4029 MRT: Grants/Contract Administrator Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $30.34 PCN: 4083 MRT: Administrative Supervisor Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $26.41 Due to the nature of these positions, the Equipment Services Department finds it necessary to replace the positions with these new positions. The new positions’ attributes will be as follows: MRT: Mechanic - Automotive Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $18.75 MRT: Mechanic - Automotive Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $19.01 MRT: Mechanic Supervisor Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $26.59 MRT: Mechanic Supervisor Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $26.59 MRT: Finance Support Supervisor - Department Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $27.34 The Equipment Services Department will achieve savings through hiring new employees at a lower rate of pay than the retiring employees. This will result in $26,680 saved as required under the 2009 Retirement Health Enhancement Program. Since Equipment Services has already achieved $339,932 in budgetary reductions for FY 2010, no further reductions are required at this time. (C-74-09-005-M-00)
