78-836 DISCUSSION: AUGMENTATION TO 1978 EOC BLOCK GRANT
T e Community Services Administration as a ocated 5,000 to the
Butte County Community Action Agency as an augmentation to the 1978 block grant which will
provide fora 5% increase to all permanent EOC employees as well as increase travel,
equipment and operating expense budgets. The addition of a full-time typist clerk and
a half-time affirmative action officer will also be included.
Clif Mickelson, Administrative Officer, explained the grant. He stated that
the problem that exists is that the 5% appliesto Mrso Kahn's salary also. The increase
goes back to January Ist. The Auditor would have to process the retro-active salary
increase. The Auditor has taken the position that he would not adjust retro-active salary
increases for County employees,
Mr. Mickelson said the Board could approve the grant and have it sent back
with the understanding that those funds will be taken into consideration at budget timed
Increase in Mrs. Kahn's salary discussed.
Razia Kahn stated that the additional money was stipulated for all employees
of EOC. It is a cost of living increase. She did not see how the Board could change
this salary increase. Jim Rackerby, Personnel Director, stated that there have been
similar situations in the past, Mro Mickelson said the Board could implement the figure
set out in the grant but that the County not apply it until July, at which time all
department heads' will be considered for a salary increase.
Supervisor Richter questioned Mrs, Kahn about the affirmative action officer,
a half-time employee.. There are about 100 employees that work under EOC. Mrs, Kahn
said this is the i~tgt time that EOC has had such an officero
The County's Affirmative Action Officer is Jim Rackerby, Personnel Director.
Mr. Rackerby stated that the EOC employees are not covered under the County Personnel
System. He explained his designation of Affirmative Action Officer; the County also has
an appeal system within the personnel system.
Mr. Mickelson said the Board could amend the grant application to have
the contractual hiring of an affirmative action officer. A person within the organization
could be designated.
Supervisor Richter requested that this be taken off the agenda at this time
and see if this could be worked out, Supervisor Richter will meet with Mr. Rackerby,
Mr. Mickelson and Mrs. Kahn and place the matter back on the agenda next week.
