BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Napa County Executive Office is coordinating with the Napa County Broadband Action Team to ensure deployment and completion of the Napa County backhaul/middle mile extensions and last mile infrastructure broadband development projects. A new 1.0 full-time equivalent Information Systems Specialist I/II position has been allocated to the County Executive Office to serve as the point-person of the broadband project in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 requested budget.
Per County Policy, “Any employee other than management, management non-classified or management non-classified (other) who, in the course of performing his/her duties, has access to confidential information relating to the County’s administration of employer-employee relations” meets the definition of “Confidential.” This new Information Systems Specialist I/II position in the County Executive Office will be tasked with accessing confidential information relating to the County’s administration of employer-employee relations. The position will also be a member of the team working with the County Executive Office where all positions are considered confidential.
Therefore, the Director of Human Resources recommends amending Napa County Policy Manual Part I: Section 37C-4, Management Compensation Plan - Confidential, effective June 25, 2022, as shown in Exhibit "A."
