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.
At the request of the Director of Health Services, Human Resources worked with the department of Behavioral Health and Recovery Services to develop the Crisis Intervention Specialist and Supervising Crisis Intervention Specialist classifications. The proposed classifications were presented to and approved by the Civil Service Commission at its regular meeting on January 21, 2026.
The new classifications will expand crisis response capacity, improve response times, and provide consistent, high-quality intervention for individuals experiencing urgent mental health crises. These positions are critical for meeting the state mandate requiring counties to provide a 24/7 mental health crisis response team as the primary response, rather than law enforcement, for mental health related calls. These classifications will strengthen crisis response oversight, support both field and facility-based services, and enable the department to meet increasing service demands while aligning staffing with current program and operational requirements.
The County has fulfilled its obligation under Myers-Milias Brown Act (MMBA) with the affected bargaining unit.
The impact below for this fiscal year is calculated at fulltime at step 5 and includes the cost of benefits. The recurring cost shown below is calculated at fulltime at step 5, including the cost of benefits.
