To: Board of Supervisors
From: David O. Livingston, Sheriff-Coroner
Report Title: Cancel one (1) Information Systems Project Manager and add one (1) Information Systems Manager I in the Office of the Sheriff.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Personnel Adjustment Resolution No. 26298 to add one (1) full-time Information Systems Manager I (LTNA) (represented) at salary plan and grade ZA5 1884 ($10,130.87-$13,576.33) and cancel one (1) full-time Information Systems Project Manager (LPNA) (represented) vacant position no. 6555 at salary plan and grade ZA5 1884 ($10,130.87-$13,576.33) in the Office of the Sheriff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The pay scale between the two classifications is the same. There would be no fiscal impact to the Office of the Sheriff’s budgeted General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The emphasis of the Information Systems Project Manager (ISPM) role is on managing projects and technological resources, including hardware, software, and staff assigned to project tasks. The primary measure of success is the timely completion of predetermined goals and objectives. The role of the Information Systems Manager I (ISM I) involves direct supervision of professional and technical staff.
Within the Technical Services unit, no other non-sworn professional staff currently holds direct supervision authority over technical staff. This underscores the necessity of having an ISM I manager within the chain of command, specifically tasked with making decisions that impact IT operations and proposing initiatives that may affect sworn operations.
An important correction that this change will address is that the ISPM currently oversees a Systems Software Analyst II position, despite sharing the same pay scale.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the continued situation of having a manager operating without the appropriate title will persist, potentially impeding the organizational structure of the Office of the Sheriff.
