FY 2011 BUDGET PERSONNEL The downturn in the economy has resulted in a reduction of revenue streams that started in FY 2009. For the FY 2010 budget, the Board of Commissioners instituted specific budget parameters directing County departments to maintain current personnel levels. For FY 2011, the Board of Commissioners again instructed County Departments to maintain current personnel levels. This included the following: 1. the elimination of current FY 2010 vacant positions effective July 1, 2010, 2. there should be no new positions (or position upgrades) requested for FY 2011, 3. there should be no promotions requested for FY 2011, 4. there should be no merit-based salary increases for FY 2011, 5. and, there should be no COLA adjustments for FY 2011. Any deviations from these parameters needed to be initially presented to the County Administrator and eventually be approved by the Board of Commissioners. A total of 8.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) vacant positions were eliminated for FY 2011. The elimination of these positions represents annual savings of approximately $400,000 in salary and benefits. A part-time position equivalent to 0.5 FTE was added to the Sheriff’s Administration Division. Also, additional hours equivalent to 0.1 FTE were added to a part-time position in the Probate Court. As a result of the aforementioned, the total personnel count decreased by 7.9 fulltime equivalent (FTE) or 1% for FY 2011. Additionally there were positions that were transferred within departments. Two full-time positions were transferred from the Road Department (Public Works function) to the Engineering Department (General Government function). One position was transferred from the Information Services Department (General Government function) to the Finance Department (General Government function).
