PC# 2. AUTHORIZATION TO RECRUIT FOR A HUMAN RESOURCES TECHNICIAN By: Givonna Reed, Human Resources Manager Background The Administration Department has expressed a need to hire a full-time regular Human Resources Technician. The need for this position is based on the increased workload in thc Human Resources Division. Specifically, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of recruitments the City has planned over the next several years and completion of these recruitments will require the assistance of a Human Resources Technician. In addition, as our staff grows, employee needs increase in terms of benefits administration, training and labor relations will continue to increase. Essentially, the human resources technician will serve as support staff for the Human Resources Manager. Staff is requesting attthorization to begin recruitment for this position immediately in order to have the position on board by the beginning of December 2004. The impetus for bringing the position on staff early is to create a transitional period that will prepare the Human Resources Technician to oversee human resources functions while the Human Resources Manager is on leave. It is anticipated that the Human Resources Manager's leave will begin in early January 2005. The Human Resources Technician will be funded by the general fund for the remainder of the 2004 budget year. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council grant authorization to begin the recruitment process for a Human Resources Technician. Committee Action Motion to recommend that the City Council grant authorization to begin the recruitment process for a Human Resources Technician.
