FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will result in a cost increase of $23,577 per year and $23,577 in FY 25-26. The position will be funded by 10% County, 50% Federal, and 40% State funds.
BACKGROUND:
Human Resources completed a salary study in July 2024.

This position provides 24/7 support and leadership for Child Protective Services (CPS) and after-hours support for Adult Protective Services (APS) matters to ensure immediate response capabilities and continuity of service delivery. The duties and responsibilities of this role exceed those of the EHS Deputy Bureau Director classification due to the need for constant availability and specialized expertise in managing critical, time-sensitive cases.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the Employment and Human Services Department will have difficulties recruiting qualified candidates, impacting its ability to fulfill its mission effectively.
