Title
Human Resources Department recommending the Board adopt Resolution 120-2011 to amend the Salary Schedule changing the current title of Kennel Attendant to Animal Shelter Attendant; changing the current title of Kennel Supervisor to Animal Shelter Supervisor; and amending the Salary Schedule to reflect the title changes.
FUNDING: There is no cost associated with this change.
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: N/A - There is no cost associated with this change.
Background: The County has utilized classifications of Kennel Attendant and Kennel Supervisor in Animal Services. At the time that these job classifications were created, the term 'kennel' was commonly used to refer to their function.
Reason for Recommendation: Over the past several years, terminology in the Animal Services field has shifted, and changing the title of these classifications is appropriate to reflect that change. The term 'animal shelter' more accurately reflects the focus of these classifications than does the term 'kennel'. This change should also assist the department in attracting appropriately qualified candidates when position vacancies occur.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Salary Schedule will be amended to reflect a title change only, changing Kennel Attendant to Animal Shelter Attendant, and changing Kennel Supervisor to Animal Shelter Supervisor.
