RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation

Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Child Support (1380-206)
DISCUSSION:
The request is to authorize Darrell Cline, Information Systems Analyst II (class 1740, step E) for North Coast Regional Department of Child Support Services (NCR DCSS) to act as Departmental Information Systems Supervisor (class 0380, step E) for a period of up to six months while a permanent replacement is sought. Section 12.4 of the Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Humboldt & American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) allows for such a request.
The Information Systems unit in the Child Support Services Department consists of a Departmental Information Systems Supervisor, an Information Systems Analyst II, and a part time Systems Analyst. The Information Systems positions in Child Support perform critical functions for the Department, ensuring strict federal and state system requirements are met, ensuring caseworkers have access to the state child support enforcement system and ancillary systems, and ensuring confidential child support customer information is secured and protected and data privacy regulations are adhered to, including but not limited to securing IRS tax information.
The Information System Supervisor is critical to ensure the Department is implementing, complying with, and enforcing information security protocols consistent with the state Department of Child Support Services Information Security Manual and IRS publication 1075, and implementing business continuity plans to ensure appropriate levels of service.
The current Departmental Information Systems Supervisor will retire from NCR DCSS on May 27th, 2023. Darrell Cline currently meets the minimum qualifications for this position. This temporary Acting Supervisor work is expected to last up to six months, the employee is a member of AFSCME and therefore requires Board of Supervisors’ approval per section 12.4.1 of the Memorandum of Understanding.
