Title
Emergency Medical Services, a division of the Chief Administrative Office, recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign a Resolution 126-2025:
1) Amending the Authorized Personnel Allocation Schedule to:
a) Delete one (1.0 full-time equivalent) vacant Program Manager allocation in the Chief Administrative Office; and
b) Add one (1.0 full-time equivalent) Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Preparedness Supervisor allocation in the Chief Administrative Office; and
2) Authorize the Director of Human Resources to make technical and conforming corrections as needed to implement the Board’s action.
FUNDING: County Service Areas 3 and 7 special tax and benefit assessment revenue and ambulance fees.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
A Program Manager allocation became vacant in Summer 2025. After reviewing options, EMS recommends the deletion one vacant Program Manager allocation and the addition of one EMS/EP Supervisor allocation to align the Authorized Personnel Allocation Schedule with current needs. This approach uses a lower-level classification to perform the technical components of the work while retaining the specialized knowledge necessary to carry out essential duties at the lowest appropriate level. The add/delete offers a straightforward, durable position-control solution that maintains day-to-day capacity at a lower cost and reflects the role required to support program operations. If approved, Human Resources will update the Authorized Personnel Allocation Schedule, and EMS/EP will proceed with recruitment for the Supervisor role.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board may decline to approve the add/delete and direct EMS/EP and Human Resources to conduct additional analysis and return to the Board with options.
