CAO Senior Deputy Enid Mendoza presented the staff report and recommendations.  
The County Administrator’s Office maintains personnel policies and practices to assist

Over the past 30+ years, updates to Administrative Bulletin No. 400 “Position  
Adjustment Requests” have been codified in a patchwork of resolutions and simple  
memoranda with no comprehensive policy review and update. The County  
Administrator asked the IOC to review administrative policy changes meant to clarify  
terminology, address countywide position management responsibilities and the types of  
position adjustments, clarify which position adjustments may be approved  
administratively, and affirm that the County Administrator will provide to the Board an  
annual reconciliation of position changes.  
The Committee accepted the staff report and directed staff to forward the report to the  
Board of Supervisors for its information.  
This Consent Item was approved.
