Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Authorize the extension of extra help hours for Juvenile Corrections Officer (JCO) Angeline Torres and Correctional Cook Kili Saveliff to 1350 hours through June 30, 2019, per Section 7 of the Humboldt County Salary Resolution (4/5 vote required).

Use of extra help officers is necessary to meet minimum juvenile facility staffing levels as mandated by Section 1321, Title 15 California Code of Regulations. The above officer will exceed her 960 hour limit for extra help; she is experienced and well trained in routine facility operations, and as such, a request is being made to authorize an extension of her extra help hours. The department continuously accepts applications and conducts background investigations to expand the number of extra help officers.
