Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On June 3, 2025, the Board established the Strategic Hiring Process by approving Attachment J of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Presentation. 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:
As part of the final approval process for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget, the Executive Office and Human Resources have created a new process for positions being requested to fill, effective July 1, 2026. This proposed process is intended to replace the current Strategic Hiring Process for all future hiring requests (unless no position and/or budget exist).
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2026-27, the approved Position Allocation Table will consist solely of positions that have been approved and funded within the adopted budget. On June 2, 2026, as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget process, the Board authorized changes to various position allocations identified in Attachment D of the Budget Presentation. Attachment A represents the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Master Position Allocation Table as of Pay Period 12-26, ending June 6, 2026, and incorporates the position allocation changes authorized by the Board during its approval of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget.
Under the proposed process, approved positions will generally reflect the incumbent employee’s current classification at the start of the fiscal year. However, departments may request approval from Human Resources and the Executive Office to hire or promote at a higher classification level when sufficient departmental budget authority exists to support the additional salary and benefit costs.
If the requested higher-level classification or position change is not supported within the department’s existing approved budget, the department must obtain approval and budget authority from the Board of Supervisors prior to proceeding with the hiring or promotion request. This requirement generally does not apply to classifications designated as trainee-to-journey level or other classification specifications approved by the Civil Service Commission that provide for progression to a higher-level classification upon attainment of the required minimum qualifications, license, certification, or other established criteria. Incumbents occupying positions eligible for such promotion may be promoted at the request of the appointing authority in accordance with the applicable classification specification and agreed upon in the related bargaining unit Memorandum of Understanding. Approval of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Position Allocation Table will authorize departments to initiate hiring requests for any position included on the approved Position Allocation Table without requiring additional review or approval beyond standard recruitment procedures.
Any future requests for reclassification changes or additional positions beyond those approved and budgeted will require approval by the Board of Supervisors through the established budget and personnel authorization process.
