RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25728 to add one (1) Administrative Services Assistant III (APTA) (represented) position at salary plan and grade ZB5 1631 ($6,613.76 - $8,039.07) in the Probation Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this request has an annual cost of approximately $150,741 which includes $30,876 in pension costs. This cost is 100% funded by Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) revenue.

BACKGROUND:

At the April 2021 Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) meeting, the Probation Department reported that they have a large fund balance in JJCPA revenue. It is the desire of the JJCC to contract these unspent dollars with Community Based Organizations (CBOs). The Probation department currently employs one Administrative Services Assistant (ASA) III assigned to the Juvenile division whose responsibility is to draft, support and oversee all the department's juvenile contracts. As the need for juvenile contracts has increased, it has become clear that this employee does not have the capacity to handle the contracting needs of the juvenile division. As a result, the Probation Department is requesting an additional ASA III to help with the contracting needs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, there will be insufficient administrative support for the department's contracting needs.
