Board amends personnel action: juvenile administrative services manager reclassified for reentry initiative with sunset clause

The board reviewed and amended a personnel resolution to reflect expanded duties for an Administrative Services Manager in the juvenile services department tied to the HCA reentry initiative. Commissioners and staff agreed to add language specifying that if the post-award duties for the state reentry initiative end, the position will be reclassified back to its original grade (grade 30).

The resolution as discussed raises the incumbent from grade 30 to grade 36 to reflect additional responsibilities including program implementation, budget oversight, management of additional administrative staff and compliance with future state and federal audits related to the reentry initiative. Commissioners asked whether prior pay adjustments had been made; staff confirmed previous adjustments but clarified the new classification reflects significantly expanded post-award duties and grant administration.

Board members agreed that the resolution should explicitly state the reversion condition so the county will not remain on the hook for the higher classification if the grant-funded duties cease. That amendment was incorporated into the resolution language discussed on the record. The personnel action was included in the consent agenda and later approved as part of the consent package at the end of the meeting.
