Background and Discussion:

The Facilities Management subdivision currently manages multiple facilities that require ongoing maintenance, repair, and operational oversight

 

Currently, asset management responsibilities are distributed among multiple departments and staff members without a centralized management structure

 

The Human Resources Director currently oversees a broad range of complex functions - including employee relations, recruitment, classification and compensation, training and development, compliance, and risk management - with limited senior-level administrative support

 

The logistical custodians will enhance overall operational efficiency and responsiveness

 

 

 

Expected Impact:

The Facilities Manager role is essential to provide dedicated leadership, planning, and oversight of facility operations. The position would ensure that all County/Department buildings are safe, functional, and well-maintained while aligning facility management practices with organizational goals and fiscal responsibility

 

The Asset Manager will play a vital role in developing and implementing an integrated asset management program. This includes establishing policies, procedures, and systems for the acquisition, maintenance, inventory, and disposal of all organizational assets

 

This position will serve as a critical support to the Chief People Office (Human Resources Director), providing day-to-day leadership and oversight of HR operations, including recruitment and retention, employee relations, classification and compensation, training and development, and compliance. The Deputy Director will also act as the Director in their absence, ensuring consistent leadership and uninterrupted service delivery across all HR functions

 

A logical custodian is the person logically responsible for managing, maintaining, or overseeing specific data, assets, or activities
