RECOMMENDATION
title
Adopt a Resolution amending the Table and Index of Classes and the Departmental Allocation List for the Probation Department. (Fiscal Impact: $43,600 Expense; General Fund and State AB109 Non-Operating Special Revenue Fund; Budgeted; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
Equity Adjustment
Human Resources conducted an equity study of the Napa County Probation Professionals Association benchmark classifications to determine if any were more than 4% below the median salary of comparable agencies. The study showed that the Juvenile Hall Counselor II classification, which is the benchmark for the Juvenile Hall Counselor classification series, met these criteria.
In accordance with Section 8.2 of the governing Memorandum of Understanding, Human Resources is recommending an equity adjustment to bring salaries of the Juvenile Hall Counselor series which includes Juvenile Hall Counselor I, Juvenile Hall Counselor II, Senior Juvenile Hall Counselor, and Supervising Juvenile Hall Counselor, to the market median.
This results in a $35,500 increase for the remainder of the fiscal year that has been appropriated within the mid-year agenda item.
Staff Services Analyst I/II
The Probation Department requested and Human Resources agrees that a 1.0 FTE Staff Services Analyst I/II is necessary to provide analytical evaluation, interpretation of legal mandates, reconciliation of complex financial data, independent problem-solving, and interagency coordination for multiple programs which are duties beyond the routine fiscal and clerical duties within the scope of the Account Clerk II classification. This requested position will join a team that is responsible for assisting with the following programs and projects: Victim Restitution, Juvenile CJNET, Mobile Supervision, DUI Grant, countywide data governance initiative and ADA compliance implementation and maintenance, State tracking and reporting needed for the Juvenile Hall Camp program, and the Community Corrections Partnership Annual Plan.
This results in an $8,100 increase for the remainder of the fiscal year that is offset by State AB 109 funding.
Requested Action:
Amend the Table and Index of Classes to provide equity adjustments for the Juvenile Hall Counselor I, Juvenile Hall Counselor II, Senior Juvenile Hall Counselor, and Supervising Juvenile Hall Counselor classifications, and the Department Allocation List for the Probation Department by deleting 1.0 FTE Account Clerk II and adding 1.0 FTE Staff Services Analyst I/II, effective March 28, 2026.
