body
Financial Impact:
The total financial impact to the FY 2025-26 budget would be approximately $23,536.45. This includes the cost for reclassification, increasing the salary for the CSS Supervisor and all benefits/bilingual pay associated with the positions. The Child Support Services Department is a non-general fund department and has budgeted these changes in the 2025-26 Recommended Budget.
Background Information:
The Child Support Services Department is requesting to make revisions to various classification specifications within the department, as well as, add a new classification, reclassify a position, and make various Position Allocation List (PAL) changes. The requested changes include adding an additional level to the Child Support Specialist (CSS) series, a Child Support Specialist IV, and changing the current Child Support Specialist I/II flexibly staffed classification to a Child Support Specialist I/II/III flexibly staffed position. Also, with the addition of the Child Support Specialist IV classification, the Department requests to reclassify the currently occupied Child Support Specialist III to a Child Support Specialist IV.
The proposed position of Child Support Specialist IV would fall between CSS III and Child Support Supervisor. The department requests to increase the salary of the Child Support Supervisor to prevent compaction with the Child Support Specialist IV classification.
See the below requested salary placement. This follows the pattern of a 10% increase (four ranges) between each classification and is consistent with other supervisory classifications within the County:

The Joint Council bargaining unit has been informed of the requested changes, and an agreement has been reached.
