' BOARD OF DIRECTORS
POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: August 4, 2011
subject: DESIGNATE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING ANN FARRELL AS DEPUTY
GENERAL MANAGER
Submitted By Initiating Dept. /Div.:
James M. Kelly, General Manager General Manager
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
James <elly,
General Manager
ISSUE: Board approval is requested to create a new Deputy General Manager
position.
RECOMMENDATION: Amend the staffing plan to add a new Deputy General Manager
position and appoint Director of Engineering Ann Farrell as the Deputy General
Manager.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Do not authorize the creation of a Deputy
General Manager position. This is not recommended due to the need to ensure
continuity and a smooth transition as the District addresses the potential impacts of
Assembly Bill 340.
BACKGROUND: In light of the likely passage of Assembly Bill 340 and as part of the
District's workforce planning efforts to address retirements, staff is proposing to create
a Deputy General Manager position and designate Director of Engineering Ann Farrell
as the Deputy General Manager. Ms. Farrell will assume both duties at her current
salary during this transitional period. During this period Ms. Farrell would assist the
General Manager manage and direct the activities of the District.
The Deputy General Manager position is expected to be eliminated once a new General
Manager has been appointed, thus no class description is needed.
This matter has been reviewed by the Ad Hoc 2011 -12 Succession Planning
Committee.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Amend the staffing plan to add a new Deputy
General Manager position and appoint Director of Engineering Ann Farrell as the
Deputy General Manager.
