CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
~
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino authorizing an increase in
Purchase Order No. 207454 to Insurance Overload Staffing for temporary staffing services.
Backeround:
On September 5, 2006 Resolution No. 2006-310 was approved to pay for services to Insurance Overload
Staffing for the services of a temporary adjuster to fill the vacant Workers' Compensation Adjuster position in
the Human Resources Department, Workers' Compensation Division. Due to the mandatory state
requirements, a temporary adjuster was hired to fill the position while we recruit for a permanent position.
However, we were unable to find a qualified candidate to fill the position and continued using the temporary
agency, Insurance Overload Staffing.
The City has now taken steps to increase the salary of the position and to attempt to recruit qualified candidates.
With the change in the salary and the active recruitment, the Division is hoping to fill the position before the
end of the fiscal year. The WC Division would like to continue to utilize Insurance Overload Claims Staffing
while the active recruitment takes place. An additional expense of approximately $30,000 is necessary to keep
the position active and to continue to meet the State requirements.
On December 4, 2006, Mayor and Common Council approved the 10% increase salary adjustment for the
Workers' Compensation Adjuster. This salary adjustment will allow a positive recruitment and we hope to have
&e position filled before the end of the FY 2006-07. Until the position is filled, it is essential to maintain the
~emporary certified claims examiner with Insurance Overload Staffing to ensure the City's compliance with all
legal mandates.
The Human Resources Department is requesting that P0#207454 be increaSed by $30,000 to pay for the
continued services of Insurance Overload Staffing in excess of the original PO for $24,999.
Financial Imoact:
This action will increase the Purchase Order #207454 to $55,000. The Workers' Compensation Division will
have salary and benefits savings in Account No. 678-452-55XX to cover the additional cost for the necessary
temporary services.
Recommendation:
I. Adopt Resolution.
