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.
Human Resources and the Director of Animal Care Services have been working together over the last several months reviewing the duties and responsibilities of various positions. On February 19, 2025, at its public meeting the Civil Service Commission approved a title change for Animal Control Assistant to Animal Care Assistant and most recently at its January 21, 2026, public meeting approved the title change from Spay/Neuter Adoption Coordinator to Adoption Program Coordinator. These changes reflect a true representation of positions.
Additionally, throughout the review and revision of the classifications, salary studies were completed and as a result found that several of the classifications are well below market. Human Resources conducted salary studies with comparator agencies and at the time of the study used the 2026 rates provided by the agencies. While completing the salary study, such factors were taken into consideration, safety of the position, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as addressing the department’s compaction and alignment.
The recommend salary revisions will be absorbed in the already existing Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget and no additional General Funds are needed.
The impact below for this fiscal year is calculated at step 5 and includes the cost of benefits. The recurring cost shown below is calculated at step 5, including the cost of benefits.
The County has fulfilled its obligation under the Myers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) with the affected bargaining unit.
