Adopt a Salary Resolution, effective October 16, 2016, which makes various changes to the Shasta County Salary Schedule, Classification Specifications, and the Position Allocation List, including position additions, deletions, and reclassifications, which may include wage increases for certain positions, for an overall net total decrease of one Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) position, including, but not limited to: (1) adding a new job classification of Deputy Public Works Director-Administration and adding 1.0 FTE Deputy Public Works Director-Administration position in the Public Works-Roads' budget (to replace one Chief Fiscal Officer position); (2) adding a new job classification of Community Service Officer and adding 4.0 FTE Community Service Officer positions in the Sheriff’s budget (to replace two Public Safety Service Officer positions and two Senior Sheriff’s Service Officer positions) and 2.0 FTE Community Service Officer positions in the Sheriff’s-Burney Substation budget (to replace two Public Safety Service Officer positions); (3) amend the Boating Safety Officer job classification; and (4) amend footnote 2 to add the Correctional Officer-Lieutenant/Deputy Sheriff job classification.

The proposed recommendations are modifications to the Shasta County Salary Schedule, Classification Specifications and Position Allocation List. The modifications included in the October Personnel Amendments are items that require attention and will assist County departments in maintaining their current budget, complying with the Personnel Rules, as well as forecasting for the upcoming fiscal year.  The departments’ current business operational needs require the recommended position allocation changes and classification specification changes. The October Personnel Amendments eliminates the requirement for each department to prepare and present a separate board report. 

The Board may choose to not approve the recommendations in whole or in part; however, this is not recommended as the items listed are necessary for efficient business operations. Extensive research and analysis was conducted by and between the County Administrative Office, various departments, and the Department of Support Services.

The Departments of the Assessor, Child Support Services, County Clerk-Elections, Health and Human Services Business and Support Services Branch, Information Technology, Public Works, and Sheriff have requested the recommended modifications.  The modifications have been reviewed and approved by the County Administrative Office and the Department of Support Services. 

The financial impacts of the recommendations are included in each of the requesting department’s FY 2016-2017 Adopted Budget.
