BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: March 5, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Kay Godwin
SUBJECT: Approval of Temporary Staffing Agency Contracts
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval of temporary staffing agency contracts with Kelly
Temporary Services, Landrum Staffing and Pacesetter Personnel Service.
BACKGROUND: The County has existing contracts with Kelly Temporary Services since
2000, Landrum Staffing since 2011 and Pacesetter Personnel Service since 2008. The original
contracts and subsequent amendments were executed by the Purchasing Director but some now
require approval of the Board of County Commissioners as they exceed the authorized limits.
For Fiscal Year 2012, vendor payments to Kelly Temporary Services totaled $138,048, Landrum
Staffing totaled $161,896, and Pacesetter Personnel Service totaled $38,724.
Temporary staffing agencies are used primarily to fill vacancies temporarily due to turnover and
extended absences, and sometimes to augment current staffing during times of heavy workload.
Outsourcing staffing allows for quick assistance, and helps to reduce costs compared to regular
budgeted positions with benefits. Funding for these services comes from budgeted funds within
the user departments.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff is requesting Board authorization to continue the existing
contracts with Kelly Temporary Services, Landrum Staffing and Pacesetter Personnel Service.
