DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Human Resources recommends that the Board of Supervisors:
1. Adopt a resolution to amend the Alphabetical Listing of Classes and Salaries to add the classification of Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager with a monthly salary of $8,262.94 - $10,043.65 and delete the classification of Inmate and Program Services Manager; and
2. Adopt a resolution to amend the List of Numbers and Classification of Positions to reclassify the current Inmate Program Services Manager to Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager.
SUMMARY:
The Sheriff’s Office asked Human Resources to review the duties and responsibilities of the Inmate and Program Services Manager classification as the position classification had evolved and no longer reflected the duties and responsibilities required to meet the mandated needs of the state and federal government.
After reviewing, Human Resources recommends establishing the classification and salary of Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager, reclassify the current Inmate Program Services Manager to Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager, and to delete the class Inmate Program Services Manager.
The Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager will be responsible for assessing the programming needs of the inmate population in Solano County’s adult detention facilities, designing and developing programs that serves the population and implementing treatment and re-entry plans to reduce recidivism.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the amendment to the list of numbers and classifications of positions is projected to increase payroll costs by $6,545 with combined salary and benefit costs during the balance of this fiscal year. There is no impact to the general fund, the position and increase associated with this amendment, is funded with AB109 Public Safety Realignment funds. The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the department’s FY2018/19 Adopted Budget.
DISCUSSION:
In 2013, in response to AB109 Public Safety Realignment efforts, the County created the classification Inmate Services Program Manager to support the expansion of the in-custody inmate programs. Since that time the programmatic duties and responsibilities have evolved and the Sheriff’s Office asked Human Resources to evaluate the position to determine if a new classification would better meet the evolving activities of the Sheriff’s Training Program and the Rourke Training Center.
The Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager is a mid-management classification with the responsibility to manage, organize, direct and oversee a variety of programs and services in the Sheriff’s Office with the sole purpose of rehabilitation and recidivism reduction for inmates sentenced by the Courts of Solano County. This new class encompasses all the duties and responsibilities required to administer inmate programming services in Solano County’s adult detention facilities.
Inmate programming includes, but is not limited to, in-custody substance abuse treatment, general education services, in-custody case management services, re-entry services, community based diversion programming, developing and managing vocational programs and directing activities of a training facility. The Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager manages contracts, contractors and services for the Inmate Welfare Fund, and allocates resources to best meet the needs of inmates’ welfare.
After review of other comparable classifications and salaries, it was determined that a new classification would better serve the current and future needs of the Sheriff’s Office. The proposed salary is equivalent to the Social Services Manager in Probation Services.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board of Supervisors could elect not to amend the List of Numbers and Classifications of Positions to delete the allocation for the Inmate Program and Services Manager and add an allocation for the Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager, however, the Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Human Resources would not recommend this alternative since the new classification and recommended salary is commensurate with the responsibilities being performed.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Human Resources worked with the Sheriff’s Office in creating the class specification for the Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager class. The Sheriff Criminal Justice Program Services Manager classification is represented by the Association of Mid-Management Professionals at Solano County (AMMPS) representing Unit 16 Mid-Management. On August 20, 2018, the Association’s President was provided the proposed class specifications revisions for review. The Union did not respond, and therefore the County deems to have met its obligations under the Meyers-Millias Brown Act.
