Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On June 21, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Personnel Allocation Resolution 099-2022 (Item 22-0987, Agenda #3).
The following changes were requested in the Probation Department’s Fiscal Year 2022-23 Recommended Budget, but further information was required before the allocations could be changed:
1) Delete two (2.0) Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Deputy Probation Officer I/II allocations; and
2) Add two (2.0) FTE Sr. Deputy Probation Officer allocations.
The changes were not included in the Recommended Budget Personnel Allocation list for Board approval.
The addition of two Senior Deputy Probation Officers in our Field Offices will increase continuity in the Administrative and Evidence Based Practices Coordinator (lead) assignments within the Operations Support Division.
Probation is currently allocated one (1) Full Time Equivalent Executive Assistant. Over the past few years, Probation has expanded the Executive Assistant duties due to emerging needs.
Probation desires to fill the vacant Executive Assistant allocation with an Administrative Analyst, whose duties align more closely with those that are needed in the department. Additionally, Probation is requesting Confidential status for the Administrative Analyst allocation as this position will be dealing with labor union negotiations, personnel, and internal department affairs.
Probation is recommending the Board approve the above allocation changes via amendment to the Authorized Personnel Allocation Resolution (099-2022).
The Human Resources Department developed the attached Personnel Allocation Resolution which was approved by County Counsel on August 8, 2022.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could decline to adopt and authorize the Chair to sign the attached Resolution to Amend the Personnel Allocation, thereby retaining the current allocations.
