Title
Human Resources Department and Information Technologies Department recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 151-2026 to change the personnel allocations as noted below:
1) Approve the deletion of 1.0 FTE Applications Analyst I/II (position 2588) with Confidential designation in the Information Technologies Department; and
2) Approve the addition of 1.0 FTE Information Technology Supervisor in the Information Technologies Department.
FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Information Technologies requests deleting one vacant Applications Analyst I/II position with a Confidential (CO) designation and adding one Information Technology Supervisor. This change aligns the organizational structure to current operational needs, reduces an unnecessary confidential designation, and strengthens supervision of enterprise application support and vendor-supported solutions. The supervisor will provide coordinated oversight of standards, access and maintenance practices, project delivery, and staff development across countywide systems. Human Resources reviewed the request and supports the add/delete based on the current and ongoing body of work.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could decline to approve the add/delete, leaving the Analyst allocation with a CO designation in place. This would maintain a position misaligned to current operational needs, preserve an unnecessary confidential designation, and delay improved supervision of application support. Alternatively, the Board could direct staff to return with a different classification option or to fill the existing position and reassess structure at a later date.
