FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
As part of the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 budget process the Department worked closely with the Chief Administrative Office and Human Resources to present a budget that represented the needs of the department to successfully run its programs. However, with the imminent closure of the Placerville Juvenile Detention facility and the unanticipated retirement of a Deputy Chief Probation Officer, the Department was unable to effectively evaluate all of the staffing and organizational needs of the Department for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.
During the process of closing and de-commissioning the Placerville Juvenile Detention facility and re-assessing staffing needs of the South Lake Tahoe Juvenile Treatment Center, it became apparent that an organizational restructure of the current management level positions was needed to facilitate efficient and effective management of the remaining Juvenile Detention facility in South Lake Tahoe.
Prior to the closure of the Placerville Juvenile Hall, the Department utilized a Deputy Chief Probation Officer as Manager and two (2) Assistant Superintendents as mid-managers for the two juvenile detention facilities. Resolution 064-2019 authorized a Reduction in Force of one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) filled Assistant Superintendent - Institutions. With the closure of the Placerville Juvenile Detention facility, the dual level management structure is no longer needed for the remaining South Lake Tahoe Juvenile Treatment Center.
Therefore, the Department is requesting the elimination of one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) vacant Deputy Chief Probation Officer and the addition of one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) Superintendent - Institutions. Superintendent - Institutions is a management level classification that will direct the day to day operations of the South Lake Tahoe Juvenile Detention Facility and report directly to the Chief Probation Officer.
