body
INFORMATION CONTACT:
Clayton Voignier, Assistant County Manager, 704-283-3687
ACTION REQUESTED:
Eliminate two part-time positions and authorize an additional 0.02 FTE to create a full-time position.
PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Union County Procurement and Public Communications Departments have two part-time vacant positions, one as an Administrative Professional II (position 406002 at 0.50 FTE) and the other as an Administrative Professional II (position 424500 at 0.48 FTE). Both positions are helpful to each department's operations but are limited with respect to the County’s ability to recruit, train, and retain qualified individuals for these positions by virtue of their part-time status. Staff is requesting an additional 0.02 FTE to consolidate the two part-time positions into one full-time Administrative Professional II position that will provide more advanced administrative support to both departments.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No additional funding required. Funding exists in the current FY2026 Procurement budget.
