TBA2023-04-01 - Technical Budget Adjustment - FTE Request for UTA Operating Program Support
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve staffing request to add three FTEs to the Operating program to support the following activities:
1. One Strategic Analyst for the People Office
2. One Office Administrator for the CFO’s Office
3. One Policy Analyst for the Board of Trustees Office
BACKGROUND:
Since the 2023 Budget was adopted in December 2022, several needs have emerged across the organization.
1. One Strategic Analyst for the People Office
This is a key position that will be needed to assist UTA in meeting the requirements of our Organizational Excellence Strategic outcome identified in the Board of Trustees strategic plan. This position will lead the implementation of the management model including data and visual management for the People Office.
2. One Administrative Assistant for the CFO’s Office
The new incoming CFO will need an administrative assistant. The old position was repurposed in 2021 to support remote mail delivery and warehouse functions. The outgoing CFO did not have an administrative assistant.
3. One Policy Analyst for the Board of Trustees Office
This position will perform general research on policy and governance matters, conduct analysis and oversee projects for the Board Office.
DISCUSSION:
Following the adoption of the 2023 Budget, the Executive Director conducted a review of unmet/unfunded staffing needs. Several requests emerged. After discussions with the Executive Team, three requests were prioritized for Board consideration.
In 2023, these positions will be funded with anticipated Agency underruns. The costs will be included in the 2024 base budget calculation.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose to deny these requests. This would require restructuring of existing staff duties, repurposing of existing positions, and inefficiencies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
2023 Impact - $234,000
These partial year funding requests can be absorbed in 2023.
Ongoing Impact for compensation and fringe:
1. One Strategic Analyst for the People Office
Estimated annual salary and wages $122,000
2. One Office Administrator for the CFO’s Office
Estimated annual salary and wages $ 84,000
3. One Research Analyst for the Board of Trustees Office
Estimated annual salary and wages $133,000
Total estimated ongoing annual impact $339,000
