BACKGROUND: Currently, the Clerk's Office has a vacant Assistant to the Clerk position. Prior to beginning recruitment for the position, the Clerk has assessed the needs of the office and the workload as well as the functions of this position. The Clerk and the County Manager also reviewed and agreed upon the information function of this position as related to the public information functions of the Management Analyst position in the Manager's office. As a result of this review, the Clerk has identified the need for additional communications support for the Commissioners office. The Clerk has restructured the duties and responsibilities of the vacant position to provide for this support in the context of the goal statement as submitted by Commissioner Gordon. The Personnel Department has completed a classification review of the restructured position to take account of the changed duties and responsibilities. Based on this review, Personnel has determined the position should be reclassified from the current class of Assistant to the Clerk at salary grade 60 to the class of Information Specialist at salary grade 65 in the Orange County Classification and Pay Plan. Funds to implement the reclassification are available within the approved budget for 1996-97. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board approve the restructuring of the position within the Clerk's Office to be a communications support position as described above and on the attached position description.
