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 Agriculture Department and Farm Advisor, Human Resources recommends adding two (2) full-time equivalent positions and deleting one full-time equivalent position today, with a second related position to be deleted at the Board’s next meeting.
The Agriculture Department currently has an Office Services Supervisor (OSS) position that will be vacated this month. It has been determined that the Department can properly function with an Administrative Assistant Position to replace the OSS. The OSS position will be deleted at the Board’s next meeting.
Additionally, the County is finalizing a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE). The new MOU enhances the collaborative working relationship between UCCE and the County generally, and the Agriculture Department specifically. Under the new MOU, the Agriculture Department will provide up to .5 FTE in staff support to the UCCE, for tasks previously completed by the Farm Advisor’s Agriculture Technician. Aligning the position allocations between the two departments will enhance resource sharing, reduce costs, and improve service delivery. By adding a Supervising Agricultural/Measurement Standards Specialist position, the Agriculture Department will gain dedicated day-to-day oversight of technician activities, improve operational coordination, and strengthen staff support. This structure will also allow the Commissioner to shift focus toward higher-level planning, program development, and regulatory priorities.
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.
