County to reclassify two court support positions into single combined role; resolution and re‑advertising planned
Summary
Judicial staff requested combining the therapeutic court coordinator and jury manager roles into a single, blended position (approximately 60/40 split); commissioners supported the concept and asked HR to prepare a resolution and re‑advertise the role at the proposed grade.
Judicial staff asked the Board to reclassify two vacant positions'the therapeutic court coordinator and the jury manager (judicial assistant)'into a single combined position. The request reflected reduced workload in each separate role and the county's need to be efficient with limited staffing.
Court staff said the combined position would likely be about 60 percent therapeutic court coordinator work and 40 percent jury manager work. Staff proposed a pay grade aligned to the blended duties (the request referenced grade 27 after blending the two existing ranges) and estimated an annual salary near $52,332 (monthly about $4,361; hourly about $25.16) based on the 60/40 split. Shelly and HR staff said both original positions were vacant and that the county had already identified a candidate contingent on completing the reclassification process.
Commissioners asked HR to draft a formal resolution to reclassify the positions and to re‑advertise the posted job at the blended grade for one week to capture any additional candidates; staff agreed to do so and to verify funding/charge codes (therapeutic court and current expense split). The Board did not vote to hire a specific person at the meeting but gave consensus to proceed with a resolution and follow‑up advertisement.
Ending: HR will prepare and circulate the reclassification resolution and re‑advertise the position for a one‑week posting; staff will confirm the 60/40 funding split and return the resolution for formal approval.
