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.

 

Following the request for a new classification by the District Attorney’s Investigative Unit, Human Resources worked with the Unit to create the Senior District Attorney Investigator.  On October 15, 2025, the Civil Service Commission approved the new classification at its regular meeting.

 

This new classification will serve as the lead investigator, providing direction and guidance to professional, technical, and support staff. Having a senior investigator on site during the day-to-day operations will provide immediate access to experienced guidance and decision-making support, improving the efficiency and quality of investigative operations.  With the on-site leadership in remote locations, it will help reduce delays in the progression of cases, support consistent application of investigative practices, and provide mentorship to those less experienced. This new classification will also strengthen communication between office staff and field staff, internal and external stakeholders, ensuring the operational priorities are met and resources are effectively utilized.

 

The County, through Human Resources, 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.
