County moves to standardize admin assistant pay grades across departments
Summary
County staff proposed consolidating various administrative support positions into a single Administrative Assistant classification for roughly 10 positions, with an estimated FY‑26 cost near $50,000; the Board gave direction to include the change in the budget.
County staff presented a request to standardize multiple department administrative titles and wages by creating a single Administrative Assistant classification and moving about 10 positions into that grade.
Austin Adams (staff) described how the county currently has multiple administrative tiers across departments, which produces inconsistent pay and lateral transfer complications. The proposal would put approximately 10 positions on a common Administrative Assistant pay scale and is estimated to cost about $49,000–$50,000 in FY‑26.
The nut graf: consolidating administrative clerical roles into one grade aims to reduce wage hopping and simplify lateral moves between departments. Staff said the change finishes an earlier multi‑year effort to align administrative classifications countywide.
Board members asked confirmation questions about the size of the cost and whether this is the last set of positions to be standardized. Staff said this group would complete the consolidation, and the budget will include the cost and the grade for implementation.
Ending: The Board directed staff to include the Administrative Assistant reclassification and associated costs in the upcoming budget.
