The Office of Communications and Media is a division within the County Administrator’s Office. The Office manages the County website, fields public and media inquiries, coordinates communication with Departmental public information staff, and manages/operates CCTV and its sister stations.  
  
The Office is currently staffed by a Director, a Production Manager, a Clerk Specialist, a half-time Administrative Analyst and a half-time Production Assistant. Multiple contractors and a temporary employee provide support for a wide range of duties associated with the video and cable television broadcasting arm of the Office.   
  
Over the past 7 years, the video and cable television operations have expanded to include channel management for partner cities, oversight of public and educational television, and development of policies and procedures for web-based video platforms that are separate and unique from cable television.   
  
The role and required skills for the position currently titled Production Manager have expanded as a result, and require an added dimension of knowledge regarding web video collection and transmission, how to merge with traditional cable video, and new technologies that support Public, Education and Government television.   
  
The job specification and the salary range for the current position are significantly out of alignment compared to peer positions in other comparable agencies. The Office of Communication and Media is in the process of a complete review and reorganization of the staff positions to better support the mission of the Office and County. Each single-class job specification is undergoing review; one part-time position has already been reduced to half-time, and Human Resources is assisting with reclassification of positions as needed.  
  
This action will address the incomplete and outdated job specification as well as the salary requirements for retention and recruitment.
