Title
Human Resources Department recommending the Board:
1) Adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 143-2024 to approve, due to an upward reclassification, the deletion of 2.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) Administrative Technician allocations and the addition of 2.0 FTE Administrative Analyst I/II allocations in the Emergency Medical Services Division of the Chief Administrative Office; and
2) Waive the requirement for filling the Administrative Analyst I/II position through a competitive examination process, allowing the Administrative Technician incumbents (positions 1075 and 3652) to be appointed to the positions as provided for in Section 507.1.2 of Personnel Rules.
FUNDING: County Service Areas 3 and 7 (ambulance transport fees, dedicated ad valorem property tax, special tax and benefit assessment).
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
At the request of the Chief Administrative Office, Human Resources conducted classification studies of two encumbered Administrative Technician positions in the Emergency Medical Services Division. This study employed a point-in-time and whole-job analysis approach, evaluating the positions based on core duties, responsibilities, level of work, and required qualifications. The analysis compared the roles in their entirety with other positions, considering overall difficulty and performance.
The study concluded that the incumbents perform at an Administrative Analyst I level. Therefore, HR recommends that the Board approve reclassifying these positions and the incumbents from an Administrative Technician to Administrative Analyst I classification.
Upon the Board’s approval, all conditions for the upward reclassification and the waiver of examination under Personnel Rule 507.1.2 will be met. This will exempt the positions from the standard competitive examination process for filling the Administrative Analyst I positions, allowing the incumbents to be appointed directly. Additionally, the salary adjustment will align with Personnel Rule 612.2 for Upward Reclassification.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the proposed upward reclassifications and corresponding allocation changes and direct Human Resources to make revisions or conduct additional analysis.
