RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22026 to add one (1) Executive Secretary-Exempt (J3T5) (unrepresented) position at salary plan and grade B85 1445 ($4,842-$5,339) and cancel one (1) vacant full-time Executive Secretary-DCSS (J3TJ) (unrepresented) position at salary plan and grade B85 1445 ($4,842-$5,339) in the Department of Child Support Services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to this request.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this request will result in the position remaining a part of the merit classification system and recruitment and management efforts would be restricted by the merit classification system rules.

BACKGROUND:

The Executive Secretary-DCSS position has been vacant for multiple years. With the appointment of a new Director of Child Support Services, there is need to recruit this position. Because of the highly confidential and sensitive nature of the work that will be performed in this assignment, this position is best classified as exempt. This action will allow greater flexibility in the recruitment and management of the position. Also, the usage of an exempt Executive Secretary position will be align with other County Department Heads that utilize that classification.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
