Earlier in the meeting, the commission opened an opportunity (item 4) for employee organization representatives to address the commission; no representative offered substantive comment.

Assistant Human Resources Director Denise Bartleme provided an informational update about employee recognition. Bartleme said 112 county employees were recognized for county service spanning one to 30 years and that a reception followed the June 24 Board of Supervisors meeting.

Brandy Delzel, Human Resources Manager, said the series had been updated “because it has been outdated” and asked the commission to approve all classifications within the series as proposed.

A commissioner summarized the request as updating existing classifications rather than creating new positions. After a motion and second, the clerk conducted a roll call. Commissioners Whittaker, Ebiam, Rose and Slater voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously.

Delzel said the changes reflect a substantial number of modifications to duties and descriptions across the series but did not provide salary-grade changes or specific implementation dates during the meeting.

Human Resources Manager Brandy Delzel introduced the item, saying, “At the request of the Mendocino County Employees Retirement Association, also known as MCSARA, Human Resources is bringing forward the proposed classification of retirement accountant. This new role will address a critical gap in the current job structure where there is no existing position that specifically handles the specialized financial, regulatory, and reporting work required for public pension systems under the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937.”

Delzel told commissioners the retirement accountant will prepare financial statements that meet Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirements, reconcile retirement contributions, benefits and investment income, assist the retirement financial investment officer with the annual budget and support the board of retirement and other county departments.

When asked whether the retirement function already exists as a separate department, Delzel replied there is a retirement department with an executive director and other staff and that Robert Revelis, the retirement financial investment officer, was online to answer questions.

The commission moved and seconded the item and adopted the new classification by roll call vote. Commissioners recorded in the roll call were Commissioner Ebiam (yes), Commissioner Rose (yes), Commissioner Slater (yes) and Commissioner Whitaker (aye); the motion carried unanimously.

The commission’s staff said the classification is intended to improve compliance and financial transparency for the county retirement system and to centralize pension-accounting expertise that is not currently present in other county accounting classifications.

No additional implementation dates or salary-grade details were specified during the discussion.

The commission proceeded to other personnel items following the vote.","The commission approved a new Retirement Accountant classification to handle pension accounting and reporting required under the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 and GASB standards; vote was unanimous.","actionData","errors"]
