RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/87, approving a side letter between Contra Costa County and the Deputy Sheriffs Association, Probation Unit and Probation Supervisors Unit, to modify the Certification Rule to expand the use of band list certification to the classification of Deputy Probation Officer I.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Administrative change to certification rule. There is no cost associated with the change.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to the Personnel Management Regulations, band lists may be used for certain classifications. The Probation Department currently uses the band list certification process for the classification of Juvenile Institution Officer I. This modification expands the use to the classification of Deputy Probation Officer I. An additional modification also expands the number of candidate referrals from five (5) to ten (10) for Deputy Probation Officer II promotional recruitments. The DSA and County agreed to modify Sections 18 and 19 of the MOU to incorporate these changes to the hiring process (Side Letter dated 2/21/19 attached).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the side letter is not approved, the department will be unable to take advantage of band list certification for Deputy Probation Officer I recruitments and an increased number of candidate referrals for Deputy Probation Officer II promotional recruitments, making scheduling and interviewing more difficult and inefficient.
