Yes |
|
Is it Mandatory or Discretionary? |

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
As the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Recommended Budget was developed in early 2022, the Probation Department had a Limited Term Staff Services Analyst I position nearing expiration on June 30, 2022. Due to the nature of the assignment ensuring Marsy’s Law compliance and managing victim restitution, the intention was to convert the position from Limited Term to Full Time, and allocate it as a Staff Services Analyst II. Due to an administrative oversight, the position was converted from Limited Term to Full Time, but not reallocated to a Staff Services Analyst II in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Approved Budget.
Therefore, the Director of Human Resources requests the deletion of a 1.0 FTE Staff Services Analyst I, and the addition of a 1.0 FTE Staff Analyst I/II effective September 17, 2022, with no net increase of FTEs, and a slight impact to the General Fund.
