Supervisor Hidahl recommending the Board consider:
1) Directing the Human Resources Director to return to the Board on July 17, 2018, with a resolution amending the Sheriff’s Personnel Allocation adding four Sheriff Technician positions;
2) Authorize the Sheriff to hire up to four Sheriff Technician staff and if necessary, under-fill other vacant positions pending final approval of the additional positions on July 17, 2018, ensuring the timely completion of tasks in the Sheriff’s Records Division and the ongoing operation of the Sheriff’s Homeless Outreach Team by removing the need to assign Sheriff Deputies to perform Sheriff Technician duties;
3) Delegate authority to the Chief Administrative Officer and Auditor-Controller to sign a budget transfer reducing General Fund contingency in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget by $348,000 and increase appropriations in the Sheriff’s operating budget by the same amount to fund the additional Sheriff Technician positions; and
4) Direct the Sheriff to complete a fee study for all fees charged in the Sheriff’s Office and return to the Board no later than the Board’s consideration of the final budget in September 2018 with recommendations to update fees with the understanding that the additional fee revenue will be used to offset the cost increases associated with the additional Sheriff Technician positions, reducing the use of General Fund dollars by a like amount.
