RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21767 to establish the classification of Probation Chief of Administrative Services (APDJ) (unrepresented) and reclassify one (1) Administrative Services Officer (APDB) (unrepresented) position No. 533 and its incumbent to the newly established classification at salary plan and grade B82 1894 ($7,482 - $9,117) in the Probation Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$17,022 annually, $4,577 of which is attributable to employer pension costs; 100% General Fund. The proposed increase will be offset by continued salary savings from ongoing vacancies.

BACKGROUND:

Upon review of the duties performed by the incumbent it was determined that the position is improperly classified. In 2010, as a result of the closure of the Office of Revenue Collections, the Probation Department assumed collection responsibilities for Public Defender fees, Juvenile Hall fees, OAYRF fee and electronic monitoring fees. The incumbent assumed management and supervision responsibilities for the newly created Probation Collections Unit. The incumbent is responsible to provide input on budgetary and administrative decisions for the institutions and the field as well as prepare directives and address departmental issues while working closely with business partners such as Risk Management, County Counsel, Labor Relations and various outside auditors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

This position is a pivotal and critical position in the Probation Department and if this action is not approved the Probation Department will be unable to compensate the incumbent appropriately for the level of work being performed.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
