After an analysis of department operations and future staffing needs, staff recommends that the Board approve the addition of 1.00 FTE Sr. Administrative Analyst to act as an ARPA Ombudsman and 1.00 FTE Administrative Analyst Supervisor to oversee the complex reporting and distribution requirements for ARPA funding.
The Sr. Administrative Analyst position was selected with approval from Human Resources due to the complexity and level of independent discretion needed to operate as a County ombudsman. This position was modeled after the ombudsman in Planning and Building.
