Report Title: FY2023 1st Quarter FTE Position Reclassifications
Report Period: December 1, 2022 - February 28, 2023
Summary: Pursuant to Section 10 of the Annual Appropriation Bill and Budget Resolution, before any position is recommended for reclassification, the relevant Agency of the County must obtain prior approval of the Budget Director to validate available funding. Section 10 further requires this office to issue a report to the Board of Commissioners of approved position reclassifications on a quarterly basis for the preceding quarter.
Please note that 296 full-time equivalent positions were reclassified between December 1, 2022 and February 28, 2023. DBMS is not charged with reviewing the operational need behind the reclassification request. Rather, DBMS is currently only charged with ensuring that funding exists for such reclassifications.
Of the 296 FTE reclassifications approved:
• 33.1% (or 98 positions) were for CCH
• 29.4% (or 87 positions) were for the Sheriff’s Office
• 13.2% (or 39 positions) were for the Public Defenders Office
• 9.1% (or 27 positions) were for other offices in the County
• 7.1% (or 21 positions) were for the Offices under the President
• 4.4% (or 13 positions) were for the State’s Attorney’s Office
• 3.7% (or 11 positions) were for the Treasurer’s Office
Taken together, the position reclasses noted above amount to a savings for the County of $893,618. During this period last fiscal year (i.e., December 2021 - February 2022), 282 positions were reclassified.
