FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

BACKGROUND:

In February of 2016, County Probation Officer Phillip Kader informed the County Administrator that he would be retiring from his position on March 31, 2016. On April 2, 2016, the County Administrator appointed Todd Billeci, Assistant County Probation Officer-Exempt, to serve as the Interim County Probation Officer – Exempt pending selection of a new Director.  
  
The County contracted with Peckham and McKenney to conduct the recruitment to fill the vacancy. On May 12, 2016, the recruitment for a new County Probation Officer –Exempt commenced. Peckham and McKenney advertised the position nationwide but with particular emphasis on the west coast region. Ads were placed with the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), the California Probation, Parole and Correctional Association, Chief Probation Officers of California, Western City Magazine, Careers in Government, and Jobs Available. Invitations and recruitment profiles were sent to 280 potential candidates targeted by Peckham and McKenney. The six (6) week recruitment garnered 272 applications. With the assistance of Peckham and McKenney, the applications were screened and five (5) semi-finalists were forwarded to the County Selection Committee on July 18, 2016. The County Selection Committee was composed of Honorable Presiding Judge, Steven Austin, Superior Court, Contra Costa County; Honorable Supervising Juvenile Judge Thomas Maddock, Superior Court, Contra Costa County; Mary Butler, Chief Probation Officer, Napa County; and Kathy Ito, President, KMI Human Resources Consulting, Inc.  
  
Following a series of interviews and reference checks, I selected Todd Billeci for the position.  
  
Mr. Billeci holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Government with a Minor in Business Administration from California State University, Sacramento. Todd began his career with Contra Costa County 25 years ago as a Group Counselor I and has held progressively responsible positions of Probation Supervisor I, Probation Manager, Probation Field Services Director, Probation Director, and Assistant County Probation Officer-Exempt. Mr. Billeci is a resident of Contra Costa County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County Probation Officer position will remain vacant and the salary schedule will not be reallocated.
