RECOMMENDATION

Adopt a Salary Resolution, effective March 26, 2023, which amends the Shasta County Position Allocation list to add 6.0 Full Time Equivalent Public Safety Service Officer positions in the Sheriff’s Jail budget.

DISCUSSION

In an effort to reopen the third floor of the Jail, which was closed on July 28, 2022, the Sheriff’s Office is requesting to add 6.0 Full Time Equivalent Public Safety Service Officers (PSSOs) to the Jail budget. PSSOs are able to support Correctional Officer I/II – Deputy Sheriffs by completing duties which do not require peace officer powers, such as primary custody, security, and property management, allowing the Correctional Officers to focus on duties directly related to inmate management.

The Board may choose to not approve the recommendation or provide alternate direction to staff.

Support Services – Personnel has prepared the Salary Resolution and reviewed this recommendation in conjunction with the Sheriff’s Office. The County Administrative Office has reviewed this recommendation.
