RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26176 to add one (1) District Attorney Senior Inspector (6KVA) (represented) position at Salary Plan and Grade XJX 1970 ($9,701.05 - $13,429.43) in the District Attorney's Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action has an annual salary and benefit cost fiscal impact of approximately $270,000 and will be entirely offset by the Employment and Human Services Department's (EHSD) Investigation and Prosecution of Public Assistance Fraud funding source.

BACKGROUND:

The District Attorney's Office and the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) has an on-going agreement for the investigation and prosecution of fraud in the CalWORKs, TANF, CalFresh, General Assistance, and other public assistance programs administered by EHSD. This inter-departmental agreement has historically funded a temporary Senior Inspector position. However, a dedicated full time Senior Inspector is needed to successfully fulfill the purpose and ongoing need of the agreement. This specific assignment has a high learning curve, and there are many complex long term investigations requiring retention of organizational memory.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If unapproved, the District Attorney's Office will be unable to provide the necessary staff to expand the County's investigation and prosecution of public assistance fraud cases.
