ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> Personnel Requests <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS: - <br /> 1. Evaluate impact of adding new permanent positions. <br /> 2. Include HR review of Form B-52. <br /> EVALUATION AND FINDINGS: <br /> There should be more fiscally sound evaluation of the long-term need for new positions,which <br /> add to the ever-increasing personnel costs,which is a major budget item. For example, several <br /> new.permit reviewer positions were recently approved to help reduce the immense permitting <br /> backlog, even though the new EPIC system is taking hold. What will all these additional people <br /> do once permits are reviewed and approved in a more acceptable, timely manner? Will they <br /> continue to be efficiently utilized?Would not temporary employees conforming to collective <br /> bargaining rules have been a better interim solution, especially when any new hiring will not <br /> help for many months given the difficulty in rapidly hiring permanent employees (people don't <br /> want to work, competition with other businesses, high cost of living, etc.)? <br /> Department heads use Form B-52—Request for Council Action—to ask for new or additional <br /> resources. These submittals should be checked by Human Resources before they are sent in for <br /> approval to ensure they align with available Civil Service classifications and organizational <br /> structure. <br /> 30 <br /> 2022 Cost of Government Commission—County of Hawai'i -Final Report <br />
