Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

On June 24, 2025, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Master Position Allocation Table for the FY 2025-2026 Budget, Resolution Number 25-111.                     

 

Summary of Request

The Human Resources Department is charged, as part of the overall maintenance of the classification and compensation plan, to evaluate current classifications, create new classifications (including appropriate salary levels), reclassify positions, examine requests for salary grade adjustments, analyze allocations, and make recommendations for additions, modifications, and corrections.

 

The Sheriff’s Office requested a classification study be conducted by Human Resources for an Account Specialist III incumbent. 

 

Human Resources conducted interviews with the Undersheriff and the incumbent’s direct supervisor and manager.  During these conversations and based on a comprehensive assessment of the incumbent’s current responsibilities, which include high-level analytical and fiscal functions not typical of an Account Specialist III. Specifically, the incumbent independently handles purchasing operations for the Jail, performs reconciliation of inmate commissary accounts, conducts cost-per-unit analyses of food and supply purchases, researches and interprets grant funding guidelines, and prepares analytical and financial reports to ensure compliance with grant and departmental requirements.

 

The scope and complexity of these responsibilities align with the Department Analyst I classification, which encompasses professional-level analytical and administrative work involving program evaluation, fiscal analysis, and the development of data-driven recommendations to support departmental operations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following the study, Human Resources recommended at the Civil Service Commission’s November 19, 2025, public meeting, that the incumbent be reclassified from Account Specialist III to Department Analyst I due to the level of work being performed.  The Civil Service Commission approved the recommended action. 

 

The fiscal impact shown below for the year is calculated at Step 5 and includes the costs of benefits.  The annual recurring cost shown below is calculated at Step 5 and includes the cost of benefits.
