Board approves new Code Enforcement Officer III classification to improve retention
Summary
Planning and Building Services proposed and the board approved a new Code Enforcement Officer III classification with a top pay range (range 21) and a preferred PC 832 arrest/due-process training requirement; staff said the change is intended to improve retention and incentive structure over the next several years.
The Lassen County Board of Supervisors approved a modification to the Code Enforcement Officer job classification to add a Code Enforcement Officer III. Staff said the change creates advancement opportunity and improves retention by offering higher pay (range 21, with a top hourly rate discussed as approximately $35.78) and preferred criminal-justice training (PC 832).
Stephen Maloney of Planning and Building Services explained the proposal and that PC 832 training (arrest and due-process instruction, including self-defense and related procedures) would be a preferred requirement for the level-3 classification. "It's a week-long course... it's just a good background course, especially with regards to the Constitution," Maloney said, describing the content of PC 832.
Supervisors asked about pay differentials and timing relative to the budget cycle; staff said the proposed change would not immediately cost the county because current incumbents are at lower steps and advancement is contingent on years of service. After discussion, the board voted to approve the modification to the job description.
What happens next: HR will update the class specification and manage promotions according to the county's step progression and the next budget cycle.
