The Mendocino County Civil Service Commission unanimously approved two extensions of probationary periods and received a year-end human resources activity report, county staff said.
The commission approved an extension of the probationary period for a probation assistant at the juvenile hall and an extension for a correctional deputy in the Sheriff-Coroner’s office, the commission announced during the meeting. Both approvals were unanimous; individual vote tallies and mover/second information were not specified in the transcript.
Denise, the director of human resources, presented the commission with a summary of 2024 activity. According to Denise’s report, human resources coordinated 404 recruitments, screened and processed 4,370 applications, managed 301 examinations and issued 246 certification lists to departments. Staff augmented 96 of those certification lists with additional names. The department also responded to 50 application appeals and one examination appeal.
Brandy, human resources staff, presented classification-related work for the year. The department brought 44 classification items to the commission, which staff described as including 28 updated classifications, nine new classifications and seven classification studies. Denise also said seven probationary-period extension requests were brought for commission consideration over the year; the transcript records two specific probation-extension approvals during the session.
Commissioners asked whether the number of application appeals and other metrics were typical compared with prior years and whether the recruitment and appeals data had been shared with supervisors. Denise said the appeals and other data were available but did not provide a multi-year comparison during the meeting; a request for historical comparison was noted but not answered in detail. The transcript records that some commissioners indicated the department could brief supervisors with additional historical data if time permitted.
The meeting returned to open session at about 9:32 a.m., according to the commission’s remarks, and the meeting adjourned shortly after the HR report.
The actions recorded in the meeting were procedural approvals and an informational staff report; no ordinances, contracts, or budget adoptions were recorded in the provided transcript.
