According to the licensing requirements of the State of California, the Childcare Division must have a program manager who meets the educational requirements, as called -for in the State licensing regulations. As a result, it is necessary to recruit for the position of Childcare Manager. This position has not been filled since 2001, and the Childcare Division was previously supervised by a Childcare Director, who left us in October, 2004. Since this time, we have awaited clarification from the State, as to educational requirements for the position. Staff has now received those requirements, and has determined that we may fill this position with the title of Childcare Manager. Since this position has not been filled since 2001, it is necessary to amend the salary range of this position in order to be competitive in the recruitment of quality candidates. DISCUSSIONIANALYSIS: The Childcare Division must be managed by an individual with educational requirements, as called -for in State licensing requirements. Because of this requirement, recruitment for the position is essential in order to retain our State licensing. Our Human Resources Department has conducted a salary analysis for this position, and the proposed amendment to the compensation rate for the position is consistent with the findings of this analysis. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed Salary Range for the Childcare Manager Position is $3508-$4264. The proposed Childcare Division budget for fiscal year 2005-06 has been prepared with this position budgeted at this recommended range. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None
