<br /> Personnel Expenses
<br /> There is an estimated $1,688,651 in net personnel expense savings associated with
<br /> vacant positions that is off-set by adding the following proposed new positions to the
<br /> budget effective April 1, 2016:
<br /> Proposed New Positions
<br /> 1 Office Assistant
<br /> (Shared with Housing/Econ Development Departments)
<br /> 1 Police Dispatcher(Police Department)
<br /> 1 Assistant Landscape Architect(Engineering Department)
<br /> 1 Senior Accounting Assistant(Finance Department)—This position will replace a
<br /> Senior Accountant position upon retirement in the next four to ten months.
<br /> 1 Operations Services Maintenance Workers(Operations Services Department-
<br /> Support Services)
<br /> 1 Plan Checker- Limited Term over-hire(Community Development Department)
<br /> 1 Building Inspector—Limited Term(Community Development Department)
<br /> 11 Entry Level Over-hire Relief Firefighters (LPFD) -These positions will backfill
<br /> shifts when other firefighters are off as well as replace Firefighter positions when
<br /> there is a vacancy. There will be a corresponding decrease in overtime hours.
<br /> Pleasanton's portion is 51.6%.
<br /> Of the proposed positions, four are permanent new positions that help restore positions
<br /> eliminated during the recession, two are limited term to assist the Community
<br /> Development Department (CDD) in addressing the increased number of projects
<br /> requiring permits and inspections as well as transition in anew employee, and one will
<br /> assist the Finance Department with the new financial system implementation that will
<br /> ultimately replace another higher paid position once the incumbent retires in the next four
<br /> to ten months.
<br /> The proposed 11 Over-hire Relief Firefighters will be shared with Livermore and will be
<br /> utilized to reduce LPFD's reliance on mandated overtime such that there will not be a
<br /> material increase in costs. In addition, these Firefighter positions will backfill vacancies
<br /> as they occur that will result in extending the time period between costly academies.
