Douglas County accepts DDA job-class reevaluation; lead dispatcher regraded from 7 to 8
Summary
County HR presented results from David Drown and Associates reviewing roughly 39 job classifications. The board approved the reevaluation; the lead dispatcher position was regraded from a 7 to an 8 and will be subject to union negotiations on pay.
Lee, identified in the meeting as the county coordinator and HR director, presented the results of a routine job-classification reevaluation performed by David Drown and Associates (DDA). Lee said departments review about 147 job classifications periodically and that DDA had returned results for about 39 classifications for 2026.
Lee told the board one noted change was the lead dispatcher, which DDA evaluated from grade 7 to grade 8. Lee said the position is a union role and any compensation consequences remain subject to negotiations. Lee described how the review examines minimum qualifications, supervisor responsibilities, breadth and depth of duties, and time to learn the job.
A commissioner moved to approve the DDA consultant reevaluation and the motion was seconded. The roll-call vote recorded members as voting in the affirmative and the motion carried.
The board requested no further changes during the meeting. Any changes to pay or implementation for regraded positions will proceed through collective-bargaining processes and standard county personnel procedures.
