RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21590 to add one Sheriff's Specialist (64VE) (represented) position at salary plan and grade VN5 1285 ($3,932-$4,779) and cancel one Sheriff’s Director of Support Services (6AFE) (represented) vacant position #14696 in the Professional Standards – Support Services Bureau.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$55,913.00 annual savings to the Office of the Sheriff General Fund. $12,849.00 annual retirement cost savings.

BACKGROUND:

The Sheriff’s Director of Support Services in Professional Standards directs the activities of the Backgrounds Unit. The Office of the Sheriff would like to realign the Unit to provide a wider range of interchangeable functions, which a Sheriff’s Specialist would provide. The ability of the Sheriff’s Specialist to participate in functions of the Background Investigation will enhance the capability of the Unit to complete the Backgrounds process more timely. This classification will report to the Sergeant, who will review and guide the process, ultimately making recommendations to the Captain. The role of the Sheriff’s Director of Support Services will be supplanted by the Sergeant and Captain in Professional Standards.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to implement the proposed position change will impede the Office of the Sheriff’s ability to make sound fiscal decisions while meeting the performance objectives of the Professional Standards Backgrounds Unit.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
