Human resources staff presented four reclassification action memos at the Yakima County Board of Commissioners work session Monday, and commissioners indicated informal approval during the briefing.

Judy (HR representative) told the board the four reclassifications had been reviewed by the county personnel committee and were proposed because the affected employees had taken on higher-level duties. The items presented were: a district court probation position proposed to move from Program Representative 3 (B25) to Program Analyst 2 (AC43); a sheriff’s office financial-division position proposed from Financial Specialist 1 (AB21) to Financial Specialist 2 (ABB22); a sales-tax district court office specialist position proposed from Office Specialist 1 (AB22) to Program Representative 2 (B24); and a general fund district court office specialist proposed from Office Specialist 1 (B21) to Program Representative 2 (B24).

Commissioners verbally indicated their assent during the presentation — one commissioner said “I’m okay,” and others echoed approval — but the transcript includes no formal recorded motion or roll-call vote on the items. No implementation timeline or budget amendment was read into the record at the session.

The county clerk and HR staff will be the contacts for implementing the reclassifications; commissioners accepted the memos and had no additional questions at the work session.
