BACKGROUND:
By Board of Supervisors approval the EHS Deputy Bureau Director-Exempt (XAD2) was established on November 14, 2017, and exempted from the merit system by the adoption of Ordinance 2017-02 on December 5, 2017. In support of the department's need for executive management to address the growth and changes to program services, manage State and Federal regulations and mandates, and to stay abreast of the changing trends facing social services programs and providers, the department is requesting to re-classify the current Deputy Director-Workforce Services-Exempt to EHS Deputy Bureau Director-Exempt, and reassign the current funded position and incumbent to the new classification. The former Deputy Director-Workforce Services-Exempt classification is no longer needed and will be abolished.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the department's organizational structure will not have the executive management infrastructure needed to manage State and Federal regulations changes that impact social services program services administered by the department.
