Title
Human Resources Department recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 013-2026, amending the Authorized Personnel Allocation Resolution to add 5.0 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Sheriff’s Correctional Officer I/II allocations and 1.0 FTE Sheriff’s Correctional Sergeant allocation for the Sheriff’s Office Jail Expansion Project.

On September 19, 2017, with Legistar file 16-0416, the Board approved acceptance of funding for the Placerville Jail Expansion Project. The project proposal included an estimated staffing analysis for the new facility, identifying the need for 4 Housing Control Officers, 3 Medical/Health Services Officers, and 1 Sergeant to comply with grant requirements. The grant stipulates that the facility must be fully staffed within 90 days of completion.
To meet these requirements and maintain operational stability, the Sheriff’s Office submitted classification requests to Human Resources for 5.0 FTE Sheriff’s Correctional Officer I/II positions and 1.0 FTE Sheriff’s Correctional Sergeant position. These positions are necessary to ensure compliance with Title 15 standards for safety, security, and service delivery. Human Resources and the Sheriff's Office will return to the Board at a later date for the addition of the remaining positions required for staffing the expansion when the project is closer to completion.
