RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25581 to add one County Probation Officer-Exempt (unrepresented) position in the Probation Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fully loaded cost is approximately $36,500 per month. The cost is budgeted within the Probation Department and is 100% general fund cost.

BACKGROUND:

The County Administrator has conducted a recruitment to replace the incumbent County Probation Officer, who is retiring. The County Probation Officer leads approximately 350 personnel with a budget of $77 million, and is charged with implementing pragmatic administrative and policy initiatives according to the strategic plan. As the legal landscape of probation administration continues to change in California, the Chief Probation Officer will continue to play a major role in working with the District Attorney's Office, the Supervisor Court, and the County Board of Supervisors, and the various local law enforcement agencies in Contra Costa County to deliver new policies and procedures that serve the best interest of the public, particularly those on juvenile probation. This action provides for a short period of cross-training/mentoring as the newly chosen County Probation Officer establishes themselves with the leadership in Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

There will be no opportunity for cross-training and mentoring for the new County Probation Officer.
