RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Personnel Adjustment Resolution No. 25588 to add one (1) Commander - Exempt (6XD1) (unrepresented) position at Salary Plan and Grade BS2 2411 ($15,872) and cancel one (1) Sheriff’s Chief of Management Services – Exempt (APD2) (unrepresented) position (#17202) and appoint its incumbent to the Commander - Exempt (6XD1) position in the Office of the Sheriff.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action has a current fiscal year impact of approximately $19,612 which includes $1,487 in pension costs. The annual approximate cost of this action would be $78,000 which will be funded by the revenue generated from the Management and Administration of State and Federal Grants. Pension costs are estimated to be $5,624 of the total annual cost impact. The increase in salary and benefit cost will be covered by additoinal grant revenue.

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Sheriff’s financial transactions have evolved over the past several years wherein the complexities of grant fund management and administration continued to become more intricate due to the tightening of Federal regulatory oversight. Adding a civilian Commander position will allow for the redistribution of responsibilities in order to form a more sustainable organizational structure and align the authority and compensation to Office sworn management classifications commensurate with the span of control of the position. The workload and responsibilities assigned to the Commander are significant and complex in nature. The addition of the Commander position will ensure historical knowledge of administrative, fiscal and grant management, and personnel processes are not lost while the Office implements a succession plan for the Administrative Services Bureau.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Office of the Sheriff may be detrimentally impacted by the loss of highly trained personnel and would continue to experience difficulty retaining and attracting candidates.
