RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21400 to reclassify three (3) Sheriff’s Ranger (64WR) (represented) positions # 13471, 11846, and 13472 and its incumbents at salary plan and grade VN5 1017 ($2,842- $3,455) to Sheriff's Community Service Officer (64VI) (represented) at salary plan and grade VN5 1336 ($3,898 - $4,738) in the Field Operations Bureau – County Patrol Division.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$78,478.50 annual increase to the Office of the Sheriff's General Fund. $33,123.60 of which is attributed to retirement costs.Cost increases mitigated by previous personnel actions resulting in cost savings.

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Sheriff request to reclassify three (3) Sheriff’s Rangers (64WR) to Sheriff’s Community Service Officers (64VI) in Field Operation Bureau-County Patrol. The department has determined that the reclassification would benefit the overall operation of field patrol services by providing timely response to non-priority -one calls. Sheriff’s Rangers primarily focus on the security and monitoring of the County’s Court and Health Services Units. Sheriff’s Community Service Officers provide non-sworn field operation services such as code enforcement, traffic and crowd control, preparing reports for non-injury accidents and basic crime reports, and acting as a departmental liaison with the public and outside agencies.

The three Sheriff's Rangers currently assigned to the Field Operations Bureau have been performing the duties of the classification of Sheriff’s Community Service Officer.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the incumbents will not be classified and compensated appropriately. In addition, failure to reclassify will result in further delay of the Sheriff's Community Service Officer Program implementation, thereby delaying the reduction of response times for non-Priority-One calls for service from the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact
