REPORT BY: Joy Cadiz, Staff Services Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Amending the Departmental Allocation List for the Probation Department
RECOMMENDATION
title
Adopt a Resolution to amend the Departmental Allocation List for the Probation Department with net decrease to full-time equivalents, effective November 12, 2024. (Fiscal Impact: $61,500 Reduced Expense; General Fund; Budgeted; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
The Probation Department participates in the Narcotics Special Investigation Bureau (NSIB) which is a multi-agency task force that is dedicated to identifying, apprehending, and prosecuting illegal narcotic and drug traffickers in Napa County. Since the beginning of the year the workload volume has increased and now requires full-time case management. This request allows the Probation Department to fulfill the case management need by providing a full-time embedded Deputy Probation Officer III in the NSIB.
This request deletes a vacant 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) Deputy Probation Officer II and adds a 1.0 FTE Deputy Probation Officer III. The increase in cost associated with this request will be offset by deletion of a vacant .75 FTE Legal Clerk II. Due to legislative changes affecting workload and leveraging efficiencies within the case management system, the Legal Clerk II position is no longer needed.
Requested Action:
Adopt a Resolution to amend the Departmental Allocation List for the Probation Department by adding a 1.0 FTE Deputy Probation Officer III and deleting a 1.0 FTE Deputy Probation Officer II and a .75 FTE Legal Clerk II, effective November 12, 2024.
