INDIVIDUAL ACTION ITEMS 2.4. A PRESENTATION BY MANAGEMENT GROUP INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED ON THE SAN PATRICIO COUNTY EMPLOYEE CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION STUDY.

[a. Presentation by Management Group International, Inc on the San Patricio County Employee Classification and Compensation Study.]

HEY, GOOD MORNING EVERYONE AND STEVE FROM MANAGEMENT ADVISORY GROUP.

WE ARE DOING A CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION STUDY FOR THE COUNTY.

I'M JUST HERE TODAY TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON HOW THAT STUDY IS GOING TO PROCEED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

FIRST, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON OUR COMPANY. WE ARE A PUBLIC SECTOR CONSULTING FIRM OUT OF SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA. WE HAVE OFFICES LOCATED ALL AROUND THE SOUTHEAST.

I'M OUT OF ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA MYSELF. WE DO HAVE A BIG FOOTPRINT, THOUGH, IN TEXAS, AND I CAN PERSONALLY ATTEST TO THAT. THIS IS MY THIRD ASSIGNMENT TO TEXAS IN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS.

I'VE GOT ONE MORE, ONE MORE COMING UP NEXT WEEK, SO IT'S STARTING TO FEEL LIKE HOME. WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING WITH THIS PROJECT.

IT'S GOING TO INVOLVE ABOUT 475 EMPLOYEES AND ROUGHLY 125 UNIQUE JOB TITLES.

WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO GET THE MOST CURRENT INFORMATION ABOUT EACH OF THESE JOBS DIRECTLY FROM THE EMPLOYEES AND THEIR SUPERVISORS.

WE HAVE A QUESTIONNAIRE THAT WE DEVELOPED ELECTRONICALLY THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO DO THAT. ANOTHER THING WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IS WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING A LOOK INTERNALLY WITHIN THE COUNTY AT ALL THE JOBS THAT ARE PART OF THIS STUDY, AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT JOBS THAT ARE SIMILAR IN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE GROUPED TOGETHER. WE'RE GOING TO RANK ALL 125 JOBS TO GIVE US THAT THAT FLOW THAT WE NEED.

WE'RE ALSO GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THE COUNTY IS DOING WITH ITS COMPETITORS AROUND THE AROUND THE SURROUNDING AREA AND AROUND THE STATE.

SO WE'LL BE DOING A MARKET SURVEY AS WELL TO HELP WITH THAT.

ULTIMATELY, WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THIS STUDY IS WE WANT TO COME UP WITH A NEW COMPENSATION PLAN THAT THE COUNTY CAN AFFORD TO IMPLEMENT.

NOW, THIS NEXT SLIDE HERE. I DIDN'T THINK A WHOLE LOT OF THIS UNTIL RECENTLY.

THIS IS THINGS WE'RE NOT HERE TO DO. WE ALWAYS TELL THE EMPLOYEES TO PUT THEM AT EASE.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO EVALUATE THEIR PERSONAL PERFORMANCE OR CAPABILITIES.

OUR FOCUS FOR THIS STUDY IS GOING TO BE ON THE JOBS THEMSELVES, AND THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT ARE PART OF EACH JOB.

THE REASON I SAID WHAT I SAID AT THE BEGINNING WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHEN DODGE BECAME A BIG HEADLINE, PEOPLE HAD THE IMPRESSION WE WERE CONNECTED TO THAT, AND WE'RE NOT.

SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO POINT THAT OUT WHEN I GET TO THIS SLIDE RIGHT HERE, AND WE'LL BE LETTING THE EMPLOYEES KNOW THAT AS WELL. TODAY, EVEN THOUGH EVEN THOUGH THAT IS STARTING TO FADE FROM THE HEADLINES. ANOTHER THING I'LL BE TELLING THE EMPLOYEES IS THAT WE CANNOT GUARANTEE A SALARY INCREASE AS A RESULT OF THIS STUDY, BUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH OUR FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. ANY SHORTFALLS WE FIND ALONG THE WAY ARE GOING TO BE HIGHLIGHTED IN OUR DETAILED REPORT, SO THAT WHEN THE DECISIONS ARE MADE, THEY'LL BE WELL INFORMED DECISIONS.

LASTLY, WE NEVER RECOMMEND SALARY DECREASES AS PART OF OUR STUDIES.

AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS, IS IF WE'RE ANALYZING A JOB AND WE COME ACROSS A JOB THAT'S EITHER AT OR ABOVE WHAT WE ARE GOING TO RECOMMEND, WE LEAVE THAT JOB RIGHT WHERE IT'S AT. THAT'S HOW WE CAN ENSURE ANY EMPLOYEE HERE IN THE COUNTY,

[00:10:02]

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LOSE SOMETHING THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE AS A RESULT OF OUR STUDY. THIS HERE IS JUST A LITTLE FLOWCHART KIND OF SHOWS YOU ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, THE ISSUES WITH INTERNAL EQUITY AND SOME OF THE THINGS WE'LL BE DOING.

I'M GOING TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL ON THIS IN JUST A SECOND. IT'S JUST KIND OF LIKE A SUMMARY OF IT. ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. IT SHOWS THE EXTERNAL EQUITY PROCESS AGAIN WHERE WE GO OUTSIDE THE COUNTY AND COMPARE YOU ALL. AND THEN AS YOU LOOK DOWN TOWARDS THE BOTTOM, THAT'S GOING TO BE THE RESULTS OF THOSE TWO PROCESSES COMBINED.

WE'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH NEW COMPENSATION PLANS SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS ACROSS MY ORGANIZATION.

AND OF COURSE OVERALL COST FOR THE COUNTY ITSELF. SO WE DID WE STARTED BACK IN JULY.

WE WE PUT IN A BID. WE WON THE CONTRACT. WE'RE VERY THANKFUL TO BE HERE.

AND WHAT WE DID FIRST IS WE GOT IN TOUCH WITH HUMAN RESOURCES, AND WE ASKED THEM TO SUPPLY INFORMATION ABOUT THE EMPLOYEES.

JUST GENERAL INFORMATION. NAMES, HIRE DATES, PROMOTION DATES, JOB TITLES, THINGS.

THINGS OF THAT SORT. RIGHT NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY ON STEP TWO, WHICH IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO THE EMPLOYEES DURING THESE MULTIPLE SESSIONS.

WE'RE GOING TO BE CONDUCTING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WE'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE THEM TO THE QUESTIONNAIRES. EXPLAIN WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE QUESTIONNAIRES SO WE CAN GET THE MOST CURRENT INFORMATION POSSIBLE DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE THAT KNOWS THE MOST ABOUT THESE JOBS.

SO ONCE WE GET THAT INFORMATION THROUGH THE QUESTIONNAIRES, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE NEW INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE FROM THAT. AND WE'RE GOING TO COMPARE IT TO THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY CHANGES, BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY JOBS THAT ARE HAVE CHANGED.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOCUMENTING THE DUTIES THAT ARE BEING PERFORMED NOW, NOT THE DUTIES THAT WERE ANNOTATED BACK WHEN THE ORIGINAL JOB DESCRIPTION WAS WRITTEN.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE UPDATING THAT AS FAR AS THE MARKET SURVEY GOES.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THERE IS WE'RE GOING TO COMPARE YOU ALL TO SOME OF YOUR COMPETITORS AND YOUR PEERS AROUND THE STATE.

THE REASON THAT'S SO IMPORTANT, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE COMPETITIVE IN YOUR LOCAL MARKET. IF YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN THE BEST QUALIFIED PEOPLE.

SO YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES IN THAT AREA THAT WE BRING THOSE UP TO WHERE WE CAN GET THOSE FIXED, WHERE YOU'RE COMPETITIVE. SO AS FAR AS THE MARKET SURVEY GOES, WE COMPILED A LIST ALONG WITH HUMAN RESOURCES.

AND ANYBODY THAT'S ON THAT LIST, WE CONSIDER EITHER ONE OF TWO THINGS.

THEY'RE EITHER GOING TO BE A COMPETITOR, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE TO THE COUNTY TO WHERE IF AN EMPLOYEE WANTED TO GO SOMEWHERE FOR A LITTLE BIT HIGHER COMPENSATION, THEY COULD JUST HOP IN THEIR CAR AND DRIVE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO GET THAT EXTRA COMPENSATION, OR THEY'RE GOING TO BE UP HERE, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY CLOSE ENOUGH TO DRIVE TO, BUT THEY'RE SIMILAR IN SIZE AND STRUCTURE, AND IT'S INFORMATION THAT WE CAN USE AS PART OF OUR MARKET SURVEY.

SO THIS HERE IS A LIST OF WHAT WE'VE COME UP WITH.

IT'S A TOTAL OF 15 AGENCIES. THERE ARE EIGHT COUNTIES OVER ON THE LEFT.

THERE'S THREE MUNICIPALITIES OVER ON THE RIGHT.

AND THEN WE HAVE FOUR ISDS. WE WANT TO INCLUDE AS WELL.

SO THIS IS THE INFORMATION WE'LL BE USING FOR THAT. WE'RE GOING TO REACH OUT TO THESE DIFFERENT.

WE'RE GOING TO REACH OUT TO THESE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS. ASK THEM TO SUPPLY THE INFORMATION. AND THAT WAY WE CAN COMPARE THEM TO TO YOU ALL.

AND AGAIN FIND OUT WHERE YOU ARE IN THE MARKET. SO ONCE WE HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION, QUESTIONNAIRES, THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND THE MARKET DATA, WE'RE GOING TO ANALYZE EVERYTHING.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND OUR FINDINGS. WE'RE GOING TO PUT THAT INFORMATION INTO A A REPORT A DRAFT REPORT THAT'S GOING TO GO TO HUMAN RESOURCES. THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK IT OVER FOR TECHNICAL PROFICIENCIES. ONCE WE'VE GOTTEN APPROVAL THERE, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT REPORT. WE'RE GOING TO BREAK IT DOWN INTO INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS FOR EACH DEPARTMENT.

AT THIS POINT, WE PRETTY MUCH TAKEN OUR STUDY AS FAR AS WE CAN TAKE IT ON PAPER.

SO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ON TRACK. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING SOME FINAL INPUT FROM ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT THEIR PORTION OF THE REPORT TO EACH DEPARTMENT HEAD SO THAT THEY CAN GIVE US SOME, SOME, SOME PERSPECTIVE FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. ONCE THAT'S DONE, IT USUALLY REQUIRES A REVISION OR TWO. WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THOSE REVISIONS ONCE WE GET THAT REPORT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE FINAL REPORT THAT WE COME UP WITH. IT GETS PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL.

SO WE HAVE A TIMELINE HERE. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT STARTED BACK IN JULY WITH THE THE DATA REQUEST THAT WE HAD WITH HUMAN RESOURCES.

AND PROJECT INITIATION WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH.

AND BASICALLY OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE A FINAL REPORT READY TO ROLL IN NOVEMBER.

WE WANT TO GET THAT OUT AHEAD OF THE HOLIDAYS, BECAUSE ONCE WE GET TO THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS, THINGS TEND TO SLOW DOWN A LOT. SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE OUT AHEAD OF THAT CURVE. SO WE HAVE A PRETTY AGGRESSIVE TIMELINE RIGHT NOW, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH. ESPECIALLY BASED ON THE SIZE AND THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT, WE'RE WELL WITHIN OUR PARAMETERS TO MAKE SURE THIS STAYS ON TRACK.

ULTIMATELY WE'LL WRAP THINGS UP AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR BY PROVIDING AN UPDATE TO THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND ALSO BY PROVIDING THIS TOOL THAT WE USE THAT WE

[00:15:10]

GIVE TO OUR CLIENTS THAT ALLOWS THEM, EVEN AFTER WE'RE GONE, THEY CAN MAINTAIN THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY AND CONTINUE TO UPDATE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS UNTIL THEY'RE READY FOR A NEW STUDY. THAT WAY, YOU DON'T GET CAUGHT RED HANDED BETWEEN STUDIES.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE PROGRESS THROUGHOUT.

SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH MY PRESENTATION IN A NUTSHELL.

AND LIKE I SAID, I'M REALLY GLAD TO BE HERE. I'VE DONE A LOT OF STUDIES, ESPECIALLY HERE IN TEXAS LATELY, SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE COUNTY TO GET THEIR COMPENSATION UP TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.

ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I DO HAVE A COUPLE COMMENTS.

I'M NOT SURE. OTHER QUESTIONS. SO WE AS A COUNTY KIND OF WENT THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS A FEW YEARS AGO.

THAT WAS BEFORE I WAS ON THE COMMISSIONERS COURT. SO I DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE END RESULT FROM WHAT THE CONTRACTOR DID TO GET THAT OVER TO THE COUNTY THERE WAS, I GUESS I'LL CALL IT, SOME DISCONNECTIONS, AND THAT RESULTED IN A COMPENSATION PLAN THAT TO THIS DATE STILL DOES NOT WORK.

IT DOES NOT MATCH WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE AS YOU DO ALL THIS WORK AND THE COUNTY PAYS FOR ALL THIS.

ONCE AGAIN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE HAVE A WORKING PLAN THAT WE CAN IMPLEMENT.

SO THAT IS MY CONCERN. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF THIS TIMELINE, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PRODUCT THAT OUR FOLKS AND OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS CAN EASILY USE.

AND IT ACTUALLY FITS OUR COUNTY RIGHT. YES, SIR.

I'M CONFIDENT WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT. AND AGAIN, THESE QUESTIONNAIRES THAT WE'RE USING ARE A BIG PART OF IT IS GOING TO BE GETTING INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THE EMPLOYEE. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS. WE'RE VERY TRANSPARENT ON THESE STUDIES.

I'VE GONE PLACES IN THE PAST WHERE PEOPLE HAVE COME UP TO ME AND SAID LAST TIME THEY HAD A STUDY, THEY DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS ONE UNTIL IT WAS DONE. SO WE'RE HERE ON THE GROUND NOW TRYING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT SO WE CAN GET THEIR PARTICIPATION. IT ALLOWS US TO COME UP WITH THE PROPER FINDINGS AND TO GET EVERYTHING SQUARED AWAY THE WAY IT NEEDS TO BE.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR. SO ARE WE GOING TO SEE AN ACTUAL LIST OF POSITIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE LOOKED AT BEFORE THEY START, IN CASE ONE'S MISSED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? WELL, WE ALREADY HAVE IT'S ROUGHLY 125 JOBS THAT ARE PART OF THE DATABASE.

AND WE GOT THAT. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. I'M JUST SAYING, IF ONE WAS, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER SET OF EYES LOOKING AT THE LIST, RIGHT. IF SOMETHING'S MISSED FOR THE QUESTIONNAIRE, PERIOD, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH LOCKED INTO WHAT WE HAVE NOW BECAUSE THE DATABASE HAS TO BE OUR IT GUY LIKES TO CALL IT MEMORIALIZED. SO IT'S BASICALLY A SNAPSHOT.

BUT IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS OUTSIDE THE QUESTIONNAIRE, WE CERTAINLY UPDATE IT.

ALL I'M SAYING IS I'M, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE A LIST OF WHICH ONES YOU'RE LOOKING AT? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE JOBS THEMSELVES OR. YES.

YES, SIR. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? OKAY. WELL THANK YOU AND LOOK FORWARD. LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON THE SAME HERE.
