RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Personnel Adjustment Resolution No. 22390 to establish the classification of Victim/Witness Assistance Program Supervisor/Mass Victimization Advocate (2KHB) (represented) at salary plan grade ZA5 1450 $5,161 - $6,273 and add one (1) full time Victim/Witness Assistance Program Supervisor/Mass Victimization Advocate (2KHB) position, and reallocate the salary of the Victim/Witness Assistance Program Manager (2KHA) (represented) position no. 12383 from salary plan ZA5 1450 $5,161 - $6,273 to salary plan and grade ZA5 1001 $7,198 - $8,750 on the salary schedule, in the District Attorney's Office Victim/Witness unit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% State, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Victim/Witness Assistance (VW) Program grant.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The position will not be created or filled resulting in the District Attorney's Office forfeiting the grant funding.

BACKGROUND:

This new position will provide supervision to Victim Witness program staff; provide input and recommendations for programmatic and staff development; create and coordinate crisis response planning and policies for incidents of mass victimization; administer direct services to victims and witnesses on complex and high profile cases as well as incidents of mass violence.

The salary reallocation for the Victim/Witness Assistance Program Manager will create parity between this position and similar positions within the County providing the same level of supervision.
