Resolution

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Adopt resolution R2024-07-02 which sets compensation for district officers and administrative employees for 2024 and authorizes parameters that allow management to place jobs within the compensation structure as presented.                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

One of the duties of the Board of Trustees is to fix the compensation of all district officers and employees by resolution (Utah Code §17B-2a-810; UTA Bylaws Article II, Section 7; and Board Policy 1.3 (III)(C)(1)).

The compensation resolution sets compensation for all district officers and administrative employees and proposes to update the 2024 Salary Structure with additional jobs.  

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

In March and April 2024, the Board of Trustees adopted the 2024 Salary Structure as part of resolution R2024-03-05 and R2024-04-02. The Resolution included parameters that authorizes the Executive Director and Chief People Officer to place jobs within the compensation structure.  Since the resolution was adopted, additional jobs are being proposed to be added to the structure that do not meet those qualifications. The newly proposed positions repurpose existing headcount and have funds available in the adopted 2024 Operating Budget. 

This salary structure also includes jobs added to the structure that met the criteria authorized in the previous resolution. The jobs added to the structure are listed below:

                     Associate Chief Financial Officer (MG4014)

                     Director Data Strategy (MG3107)

                     Data Scientist (PR3201)

                     People Data Analyst (PR2157)

 

ALTERNATIVES:                                                                                                                                    

If the current resolution is not adopted, UTA would not be able to fill certain positions that are not included in the salary structure.

FISCAL IMPACT:                                                                                                                                

This resolution does not increase approved headcount or existing budget authority. The proposed positions are a result of job reorganization and are included in UTA’s 2024 Operating Budget.
