RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 20757 adding one full-time Deputy Probation Officer I (7AWA) in the Probation Department-Adult Supervision unit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$136,000 annually; 75% CalEMA Sexual Assault Grant (Federal pass-through), 25% In-Kind Match. The Probation Department has been awarded a California Emergency Management Agency grant in the amount of $102,000 to fund one Deputy Probation Officer in the Adult Supervision unit.

BACKGROUND:

On August 11, 2009, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County Probation Officer to apply for and accept a federal grant awarded by the California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) (Item C.30) to fund 75% of one Deputy Probation Officer position in the Adult Supervision unit. The goal of the program is to enhance or create specialized units within California Probation Departments to intensively supervise small caseloads, focusing strictly on sexual assault offenders.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, the Probation Department will not be in compliance with the grant regulations.
