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 Executive Office has requested to add 1.0 FTE, Director of Information Services to the Position Allocation Table for budget unit 1960 - Information Services and with this add the division will separate from the Executive Office and create its own department.  Additionally, it is requested to delete 1.0 FTE, position number 4514, Business Systems Analyst.

 

Currently, a Deputy Chief Executive Officer is dividing time between responsibilities in the Executive Office and oversight of the Information Services (IS) Department, the dual role does not provide the County with the dedicated staff to support either office on a full-time basis. 

 

Establishing the Director of Information Services position will provide consistent operational oversight of the department, improve coordination with County Departments, and strengthen project management, system implementation, and service delivery.  A dedicated department head will allow for more timely decision-making, clearer accountability, and improved continuity of operations across County technology functions.

 

Having a dedicated Director of Information Services will also provide employees with consistent, accessible leadership and clearer direction.  Departments will benefit from have having a dedicated executive point of contact, while the department staff will gain increased support, guidance, and advocacy.

 

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.
