RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Ordinance No. 2017-02 amending the County Ordinance Code Section 33-5.387 to exclude from the Merit System the classification of EHS Deputy Bureau Director-Exempt (XAD2) and to delete the classification of Deputy Director-Workforce Services - Exempt (XAD8).

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

On November 7, 2017 the EHS Deputy Bureau Director-Exempt classification was established. In addition, Ordinance No. 2017-02 was introduced to amend the County Ordinance Code to exclude the classification from the Merit System and delete the classification of Deputy Director-Workforce Services-Exempt. Since the EHS Deputy Bureau Director-Exempt classification will fulfill the Department's needs for an additional management level between the bureau director classifications and the EHS Division Manager classification in the Workforce Services and Children and Family Services bureaus, there is no longer a need for the specialized Deputy Director-Workforce Services-Exempt classification. The November 14, 2017 Board of Supervisors meeting was fixed as the date for adoption.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The EHS Deputy Bureau Director classification will provide the Employment and Human Services Department the additional executive managerial positions to address the growth and changes to program services, manage State and Federal regulations and mandates, and keep abreast of changing trends facing social services programs and providers. The EHS Deputy Bureau Director will be assigned to one of the major divisions, and will report to the respective Bureau Director. Responsibilities will include operational management, supervision to management personnel, participate with the respective Bureau Director on strategic planning and program development matters, recommend policy changes on program services and the delivery of services matters.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Employment and Human Services Department will not have the desired managerial staff structure to effectively implement and manage state and federal mandates and policies that pertain to the delivery of child welfare services and public assistance service programs.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The recommendation supports the following (3) children's outcomes:
(1) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient;
(2) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and
(3) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
