Fiscal Impact The salary and benefit cost for the two new positions for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2023-2024 is estimated to be $169,910 and for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 is estimated to be $188,990. These positions were approved with the RABA Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget and included with the 7- Year Financial Plan. Funding these positions will have no impact on the General Fund. Alternative Action The City Council (Council) could decline to adopt the resolution. This action would decrease the efficiency of the RABA operations and limit its ability to deliver quality services. Background/Analysis RABA presently has three positions allocated. With the recent reorganization of RABA oversight from the Public Works Department, Transportation & Engineering Division to the Office of the City Manager, there is a need for administrative support positions to support the efforts of the existing RABA staff, particularly focusing on the areas of customer service, clerical support and financial accounting. With the addition of these two new positions, RABA will have five dedicated positions providing the necessary oversight of their activities. This action was approved by the RABA Board of Directors at their June 26, 2023, meeting.
