STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Approve Agencies to provide temporary staffing services for
FY 2008/2009
SUBMITTED BY: Lori Carney, Human Resources Manager
DATE: June 12, 2008
CONTENTS: Staff Report
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion: Identify and approve the agencies listed below to
provide temporary staffing services to the City of Palm Desert on an as
needed basis for the balance of FY 2008/2009 in an amount not to exceed
the amount budgeted in accounts #110-4154-415-3036 and 110-4154-415-
3003.
Discussion:
The City utilizes temporary staffing services on an as -needed basis. These
services are primarily used to cover vacant positions, or positions in which the
regular staff person is off work due to a leave of absence. We foresee at least one
extended leave of absence this fiscal year which will require backfilling through
temporary staff. In addition the City utilizes a temporary staffing services company
to process payroll functions for our Student Worker/Internship Program.
Charges for these services vary depending upon the position covered and the
length of the assignment. It is also beneficial to the City to have flexibility in
choosing an agency based on the assignment, because it is important to select the
most desirable candidate at the best value. Because we foresee at least one long
term leave of absence, in addition to the Internship program, it is anticipated that
the total amount paid to the agencies may exceed the $25,000 approval limit of the
Finance Director; therefore, we are requesting approval to use these agencies up
to an aggregate total of $98,000 for temporary staff (account #110-4154-415-
3036) and $60,000 for the student worker/internship programs (account #110-
4154-415-3003) the amounts included in the fiscal year 2008/2009 budget.
The City has used several local agencies in the past. Taking into consideration
cost and quality of services we've received in the past, Staff recommends the
acceptance and approval of the following agencies for temporary staffing services
and student/intern payroll administration in fiscal year 2008-2009.
