The primary purpose of the survey was to ascertain whether available guidelines provide adequate control over staffing and utilization of personnel at the SSS State Headquarters level. During our survey, the reorganization at the National Headquarters had resulted in the establishment of a new personnel and training divi- sion. We understand that you are evaluating the organizational structures in the various State Headquarters for the purpose of providing a more efficient operation within these organizations. As a result, we have discontinued our survey. However, we wish to call to your attention our observations on personnel management which we believe you may wish to consider while evaluating the organization of the State Headquarters. SUPERVISORY FIELD PERSONNEL The California State Headquarters utilized a number of supervisory personnel to administer and coordinate SSS field activities throughout the State. For example# area coordinators, consisting of three CS-12s, one colonel, and one lieutenant-colonel, performed such general functions as (1) public relations, (2) working with uncompensated local board per- sonnel. (3) investigating hardship cases, delinquents, and other classi- fication problems, and (4) maintaining liaison with law enforcement and other agency officials. California also had six local board auditors who were primarily responsible for coordinating, inspecting, and assist- ing in the operations of the local boards within their assigned areas. In contrast, the Pennsylvania State Headquarters utilized seven GS-9 field supervisors who performed essentially the same functions as the area coordinators and the local board auditors in California. The salary cost of the field supervision function in Pennsylvania was about $98,000, or about $40,000 less than the $138,000 salary cost in California. While California is a larger State than Pennsylvania in terms of area and active registrants, Pennsylvania has more local boards. We did not attempt to analyze the individual workloads of the supervisory field BEST DOCUMiENT AVAILABLE
