8$-406 Consideration of administrative review of regular and extra-help
positions, and restrictions to overtime and fixed asset expenditures.
(FROM 7/T2/88)
h10TI0N: Adopt the policy suggested in the Administrative Officer's
memo as amended:
A. Further reductions in extra help appropriations as part
of the final budget review. During your budget hearings
your Board can ask each of the departments for justification
for their extra help budget proposals, The Board has the
option of making reductions in these amounts. This proposal
would achieve desired savings at the same time leave our
departmental managers with the flexibility to manage within
the limits imposed by the Board of Supervisors. A7 so develop
historical data.
B. Set overall ex enditure tar ets far the de artments. As
part of the final budget, the Board could direct department
managers to live within a certain percentage of their net
county costs in the final county budget. For example,
you may direct all departments to only spend 95 percent
of their final budgeted net county cost appropriations.
Under such policy you wou]d eliminate administrative review
for vacant regular positions and not impose an administrative
review on overtime and extra help and give your department
managers the maximum flexibility to live within the target
numbers you have established.
C. Restrict transfers from salaries and benefits to other
accounts. It has been my policy to give department heads
some flexibility in living within their final budget
appropriations. We have allowed department heads to move
money out of salaries and benefits savings to cover deficits
in other operating accounts, as well as authorize them
to utilize these savings to acquire needed one-time
expenditure items such as replacement of worn-out equipment.
Your Board may want to consider some restrictions on the
use of salary savings to cover other items. Such a system
could involve limits on utilizing salary savings until
department heads can demonstrate they are living within
the expenditure limits imposed by the Board, including
any meeting budget target figures as discussed in {b) above.
