RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve advance step at Salary Range 357, Step D for Correctional Deputy I, Brian Stinnett. (4/5 Vote Required)
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund
DISCUSSION:
Brian Stinnett will be voluntarily demoting from Deputy Sheriff I to Correctional Deputy I effective March 8, 2020. Per the Merit System rules he would move from his current Step A as a Deputy Sheriff I to Step A 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 D who possess the core academy certification prior to hire. Since Brian Stinnett has POST certification prior to transferring into the Correctional Deputy I position, the Sheriff’s Office is requesting approval for Brian Stinnett to be Step D so his pay is equitable with other Correctional Deputies that have the same certification upon hire.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Allowing Brian Stinnett to voluntarily demote to the Correctional Deputy I position at Step D 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 impact to the General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by investing in county employees.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
N/A
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board could deny the request for an Advanced Step for Correctional Deputy Brian Stinnett; however, this is not recommended as it would not result in equitable pay for Brian Stinnett compared to other Correctional Deputies. It would negatively impact employee morale and could result in the loss of a valuable employee.
