What is a 440 Resolution?

The County Salary Ordinance No. 440 is an ordinance designating or enumerating the number of, compensation for, classification, method and requirements of employment with the County of Riverside.  Any requested changes to a classification, as it relates to salary or number of positions, must be done by Board action through a 440 Resolution, unless otherwise dictated by the Board of Supervisors.

Why must I formally request a 440 Resolution?

In the past, County Counsel was responsible for establishing 440 Resolution numbers when a department requested changes to the 440 Salary Ordinance that affected positions within their department.  That process occurred after the Form 11 had already been approved by the Board of Supervisors, causing delays in establishing the required position control number(s), and in turn, delayed the establishment of positions per the departments request.   

 

In August 2001, Human Resources took over the responsibility of establishing 440 Resolution numbers from County Counsel in order to expedite this necessary function, and by doing so, established specific guidelines and language for departments to follow when completing a Form 11 that requires a change to the 440 Salary Ordinance.  The purpose for requiring the specific language within a Form 11 is so the Clerk of the Board includes the 440 Resolution number on the Board Agenda and informs Human Resources when the item will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for consideration. 

 

Therefore, before submitting the original, final version of a Form 11 and all corresponding attachments to Human Resources for review and approval, both the SUBJECT line and RECOMMENDED MOTION section must contain the following language:  “Amend Ordinance No. 440 pursuant to Resolution No. 440-_____ submitted herewith.”  Failure to include this language within the specified sections of the Form 11 will result in the delay of your 440 Resolution request and possibly the return of your entire Form 11 packet. The four digit 440 Resolution number is then manually inserted into the original, final version of your Form 11, with the required 440 Resolution attached, prior to submission for final approval.  Please note that once this process has taken place, your Form 11, and all corresponding attachments, will not be returned to you under any circumstances prior to Board approval.  Human Resources will submit the entire Form 11 packet on your behalf to obtain the appropriate authorizations and placement on the next available Board agenda.

All 440 Resolution requests are to be submitted with the original Form 11, in its entirety, to Kelly Campbell at mail stop 1081.
