Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the Abolishment of Dormant County Job Classifications Per Attachment
End
RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION:
recommendation
Adopt Resolution authorizing the abolishment of dormant County Job Classifications per attachment A; and authorize Chair to sign same.
End
PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
All County Job Classifications are approved by Civil Service and/or Board Action prior to use; the classifications referenced in Attachment A were approved by the Board at various times between 1999 and 2020. On October 15, 2025, the Civil Service Commission approved the abolishment of dormant Civil Service classifications during its public meeting.
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 proposed Resolution and Attachment A call for the abolishment of 56 County Job Classifications that have been determined to be dormant. Many of the classifications have not been utilized since prior to 2020. Classifications become dormant for a variety of reasons such as departments began using other existing classifications better suited to do the work being performed; or the classifications were replaced with new classifications; or the County no longer provides services that utilized specific classifications. There are no incumbents serving in these classifications.
