Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On June 21, 2016, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Master Position Allocation Table for FY 2016-2017 Budget, Resolution No. 16-071.
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 grades adjustments, analyze allocations, and make recommendations for addition, modifications, and corrections.
During a recent review of the classification of Operations Specialist, Human Resources studied similar classifications among comparison counties finding that the majority of those agencies identified their hazardous materials and hazardous incident related positions with “Hazardous Materials” in their titles. Changing the title to conform with those commonly known throughout the Environmental Health field may facilitate larger applicant pool, by attracting applicants who are interested and qualified in the field of work related to hazardous material and hazardous incidents.
The Civil Service Commission approved the recommended title change at their meeting on May 17, 2017. The County has fulfilled its obligation with the affected bargaining unit.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Direct staff to study alternatives.
