EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As your Board is aware, since April 2018, the HR department has been a part of Administration and the HR Director position has been vacant. Very recently, the Deputy HR Director resigned, leaving two key vacancies in HR.
I am requesting Board approval to appoint Senior HR Analyst Jesse Puett to Interim Deputy HR Director effective May 29, 2018. Mr. Puett has been an HR Analyst here for nearly five years and meets the minimum qualifications for Deputy HR Director.
I am also requesting Board approval to appoint HR Analyst II Diana Rico to Interim Senior HR Analyst effective May 29, 2018. Ms. Rico has been an HR Analyst II for 9 months, and although she does not yet qualify for permanent appointment to Senior HR Analyst, she can provide needed support to this office, as an interim supervisor, during this time of transition and until permanent staffing decisions can be made.
