SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
In October 2017, the Mendocino County Superior Court appointed Robert Ochs as the Interim Chief Probation Officer and Human Resources entered into an agreement with Chief Ochs to provide consultation and training services, and to act as the Chief Probation Officer until such time as a permanent Chief Probation Officer is hired. At that time, HR anticipated the permanent position would be filled by January 2018.
In late November, the recruitment was expanded to include the use of an outside contractor and it is now anticipated the positon will be filled in mid to late February 2018. Due to the unanticipated delay in filling the position, HR requested that Chief Ochs extend his contract under the same terms to which he agreed. HR is requesting to increase the amount of this agreement to $80,000 to ensure continuity in department administration until such time as a permanent Chief Probation Officer has been hired.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to Human Resources with further direction.
