County staff request reclassification of health services employee; fiscal impact about $4,000
Summary
A Polk County staff member requested that Amanda McMullen be reclassified from Health Services Administrative Analyst 2 to Management Analyst, retroactive to May 1; the presenter estimated an approximate $4,000 fiscal impact including PERS but said the amount may be lower because a differential would end.
At the June 4 Polk County Board of Commissioners meeting, a county staff member identified only as Mr. Hawkins asked the board to reclassify Amanda McMullen from Health Services Administrative Analyst 2 to Management Analyst, citing McMullen’s role as lead on the county’s electronic health-record (EHR) work.
Hawkins said the reclassification would be retroactive to May 1 to reflect work already performed and estimated a fiscal impact of approximately $4,000 including PERS contributions. He added that the fiscal number is lower in practice because McMullen currently receives a differential that would not continue in the new classification.
Hawkins described McMullen as having “taken on the lead role” for the EHR and said that the responsibilities align with the management analyst classification. A commissioner responded, “Sounds good to me,” during the discussion; however, no formal motion, roll-call or final vote on the reclassification was recorded in the meeting transcript.
Because the transcript does not record a formal vote or final action on the reclassification, this article reports the request, the retroactive date sought, and the presenter’s fiscal estimate without asserting that the board approved the change.
