Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The County currently has a classification entitled Assistant Director of Child Support Services/Chief Attorney. However, with the recent appointment of the former Assistant Director of Child Support Services/Chief Attorney incumbent (who is an attorney) to the Director of Child Support Services position, there is not a current need to utilize the Assistant Director of Child Support Services/Chief Attorney classification, specifically to function as a Chief Attorney. However, the Department continues to need an Assistant Director to assist in the administration and operation of the Department.
As such, the Human Resources Department created, in consultation with the Director, a new classification of Assistant Director of Child Support Services. Since this classification does not require the incumbent to be an attorney, the hourly salary will be set at $52.76 - $64.13, which is lower than the Assistant Director of Child Support Services/Chief Attorney classification.
Upon adoption of the new Assistant Director of Child Support Services classification, the Human Resources department will initiate a recruitment to fill the position, and the County will realize cost savings.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to adopt the class specification or approve the add/delete allocation, and request that revisions be made.
