RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve advance step at Salary Range 357, Step B, Job Class 0424A, for Correctional Deputy I, Myrin Short. (4/5 Vote Required)
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund
DISCUSSION:
Myrin Short will be voluntarily demoting from Deputy Sheriff Recruit to Correctional Deputy I effective January 10, 2021. Per the Merit System rules he would move from his current Step 1A as a Deputy Sheriff Recruit to Step 1A as a Correctional Deputy I.
To assist with recruitment and retention of Correctional Deputies, the Sheriff's Office has approval from the CAO's office to place new Correctional Deputies in Step B who possess the core academy certification prior to hire. Since Myrin Short has POST certification prior to transferring into the Correctional Deputy I position, the Sheriff's Office is requesting approval for Myrin Short to be Step B so his pay is equitable with other Correctional Deputies that have the same certification upon hire.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Allowing Myrin Short to voluntarily demote to the Correctional Deputy I position at Step B has no negative financial impact to the Corrections Budget Unit 1100-243. Filling that same position with a candidate that has the core academy certification prior to hire would result in the exact same pay. There is sufficient funding in budget unit 1100-243 for the recommended action, and there will be no additional impact to the General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board's Strategic Framework by investing in county employees.
