Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The District Attorney has a vital need for a Department Systems Analyst to provide a higher level of direct support to the programs maintained by the District Attorney's Office. The Department Systems Analyst will be able to rapid responses to the department’s needs and will provide ongoing support for the District Attorney’s technical programs and case management systems.
As duties are shifting from the information Technologies Department to the District Attorney's Office, IT will not fill their vacant IT Customer Support Specialist I/II position.
Attachment C is the approved resolution reflecting the changes to the personnel allocation. This resolution will be effective the first pay period following adoption.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could decline to adopt the recommended allocation change and maintain the current personnel structure.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The removal of a 1.0 FTE IT Customer Support Specialist I/II position in the IT department reduces salary and benefit appropriations by approximately $108,156 annually (as budgeted). The addition of a Department Systems Analyst to the DA will cost approximately $123,359 annually (as budgeted). Overall, the deletion of an IT Customer Support Specialist I/II and the addition of a Department System Analyst is an increase of $15,203 annually. In order to not change the overall net county cost, Information Technologies has agreed to reduce their department budget $15,203. The personnel allocation changes will be included in the final Adopted Budgets for IT and the DA, along with the specific reduction to the IT budget of $15,203, so that no change to net county cost will occur.
