AGENDA SECTION:

CONSENT AGENDA

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

Sheriff Taylor has underfilled the vacant Captain's position in the Custody Bureau (Corrections) with a Lieutenant. The Board of Supervisors previously authorized 4 Correctional Officer positions be added by way of funding from the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) that will not impact the General Fund.

The new jail commander needs a specialized administrative supervisory level position to assist with the daily administrative tasks encompassing two (2) jail facilities. Sheriff Taylor has underfilled the vacant Captain's position in the Custody Bureau (Corrections) with a Lieutenant. The Board of Supervisors also authorized 4 Correctional Officer positions be added by way of funding from the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) that will not impact the General Fund.

The new jail commander needs a specialized administrative supervisory level position to assist with the daily administrative tasks encompassing two (2) jail facilities. The work performed emphasizes decisions,  processes,  and  procedures  that  require  incumbents to use substantial independent judgment within established laws, regulations, policies, and/or guidelines. The incumbent will be responsible for supervisory/overseeing the corrections training and scheduling for all personnel. This will include providing direction and exercising supervision over Sergeants, correctional officers and non-sworn supervisors and other staff. Incumbents must apply a thorough knowledge of applicable laws, regulations, policies, and procedures to make both routine and non-routine decisions.

This upward reclassification would be a savings as the vacant funded Staff Services Specialist and the Sheriff's Technician continue to not be filled and the Captain position is underfilled with a Lieutenant. Thus, there will be no fiscal impact for current year 2021-2022.
