Executive Summary:

The Agriculture/Weights & Measures Department is requesting approval to add 0.2 full-time equivalent Office Assistant II to an existing 0.8 full-time Office Assistant II allocation, effective October 22, 2024.

 

Discussion:

The Executive Management and Administration division of the Department of Agriculture/Weights & Measures (AWM) provides administrative, technical, human resources, and fiscal support to all four divisions of the department. The department has identified a service gap within the Administration division for those functions typically fulfilled by an Office Assistant II: routine office support tasks such as filing, data entry, responding to email, phone and in-person inquiries related to departmental services.

 

The existing 0.8 full-time equivalent (FTE) Office Assistant II position has been vacant for over five years. Previous recruitments for this part-time position have been unsuccessful, due largely to the position being a part-time allocation.  Adding 0.2 FTE to this part-time position   will assist the Department in conducting a successful recruitment and in filling the identified service gap. 

 

The additional salaries and benefits costs will be absorbed within the FY 24-25 Department budget.

 

Sonoma County Human Resources has reviewed and approved this request.
