AGENDA ITEMS
1. 52-4 DISTRICT COURT (TROY) - CREATE ONE (1) FULL-TIME ELIGIBLE PROBATION
OFFICER I POSITION AND DELETE ONE (1) PART -TIME NON-ELIGIBLE PROBATION OFFICER I
POSITION
The 52-4 District Court is seeking approval to create one (1) Full -Time Eligible (FTE), General
Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) funded Probation Officer I position, and delete one (1) Part -Time Non-
Eligible (PTNE) GF/GP funded Probation Officer I position in their Pro bation Unit. The Court’s caseload
has increased by 10 percent and they are currently supervising 333 probationers, while the other three
divisions of the 52nd District Courts are supervising 230. As of today, the next available date to schedule
a first-time sentence offender is May 18th, which is too far out. The position was previously eliminated in
2009, was later filled with a part-time position, and is now needed to be full -time. The deletion of the one
PTNE position will partially offset the funding, while the remai ning portion will come out of the Emergency
Salary Reserve Account. The position will then be built into the Court’s new budget at the beginning of
the new fiscal year.
Commissioner Spisz, supported by Chairperson Hoffman, requested that the Human Resour ces
Department provide a picture graph to better visualize past, present, and future staffing levels and
resources.
Spisz moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested Resolution. Supported
by Bowman.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
2. COUNTY EXECUTIVE /CORPORATION COUNSEL - DELETE FIRST ASSISTANT
CORPORATION COUNSEL POSITION AND CREATE TWO ASSISTANT CORPORATION COUNSEL
POSITIONS
Corporation Counsel is seeking approval to delete one (1) FTE, GF/GP funded First Assistan t
Corporation Counsel position and classification; to create one FTE, GF/GP funded Assistant Corporation
Counsel III position; and create one (1) FTE, GF/GP funded Assistant Corporation Counsel I position.
Corporation Counsel has recently taken on addi tional responsibilities and has had an increasing
caseload. With the person in the First Assistant Corporation Counsel position having retired in January, it
has been determined that the County’s needs would best be served by eliminating the one management-
type positon and replacing it with the two lower level positions. The eliminated position will partially offset
the costs of the two added positions, and the remaining portion will be funded out of the Building Liability
Fund (BLF). These positions, inclu ding a number of other staff, handle matters that impact the BLF,
creating an opportunity to use it as a funding source for the additional cost.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested Resolution.
Supported by Spisz.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

3. HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT - SALARY ADMINISTRATION PLAN 2ND QUARTERLY
REPORT FOR FY2016
The Human Resources Department is requesting authorization for implementation of the Salary
Administration Plan 2nd Quarterly Report. There are six classifications that are increasing in salary grade;
two classifications with a change in total points, but not significant enough to change the salary grade;
and the creation of five new classifications. The studies that bring about these changes are requested by
an employee or a department. When the economy was down and positions were eliminated out of
departments, the duties were absorbed and employees took on additional responsibilities. These
positions are now being requested to be re -evaluated. The changes will take effect for the first pay period
after final approval and adoption by the BOC.
Spisz moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested Resolution . Supported by Zack.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
