HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 03032015 - C.36RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21604 to reclassify one (1) Network Technician II (LNVA)
(represented) position #77 at salary plan and grade ZB5 1592 ($5,227 - $6,353) and its incumbent to Network
Administrator I (LNSA) (represented) at salary plan and grade ZA5 1694 ($5,782 - $7,028) in the Department of
Information Technology.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action would result in a cost to the Department of approximately $6,906 annually, which will be recovered
through service fees charged to user departments. The anticipated cost for fiscal year 2014/15 is $2,878 if this
reclassification is effective 2/1/2015.
BACKGROUND:
The incumbent is primarily responsible for network, server and desktop administration, maintenance, and support for
four county department networks. Combined, these networks are as complex as the Child Support Services network,
and larger than the Public Defender or Election/Recorder networks. During the past 18 months, the incumbent has
assumed more of the responsibilities and job duties of a Network Administrator by supporting nine offices in the
County Administration and Finance buildings with 200 users and computers, 14 Servers, 3 network appliances, and
many mobile devices. During the past two years, the incumbent has consistently demonstrated excellent technical and
customer service skills in providing network and desktop services to county departments including the CAO, Human
Resources, Auditor-Controller, Board of Supervisors and Clerk of the Board.

Subject:Reclassify Network Technician II to Network Administrator I
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
The incumbent has frequently been indispensible during urgent situations. His quick response and cooperative
effort with other DoIT teams to meet our most demanding customers’ IT needs are distinct characteristics of a
senior member of the DoIT Network Services Unit.
The incumbent has been given Network Administrator duties such as:
Provide technical administration and consultation for the County's new Enterprise Microsoft System Center
Configuration Manager, helping county departments to automate and track their computer software updates
and deployments.
1.
Monitor and enhance complex computer and communications systems, on-site and remote; develop, design
and implement problem solutions, using standard analysis techniques; and recommend solutions to correct
malfunctions.
2.
Maintain system back-ups and control records; create logical directory structure of network shared files and
directories; responsible for retention of server backups.
3.
Provide plans to the CAO, HR and Auditor-Controller of their network capacity, technology status,
backup/recovery, and budgeting required to insure efficient, effective, and reliable networks
4.
Responsibility for day-to-day IT operations, scheduling, and performance tuning5.
Monitor daily activity on computer networks, checking for potential problems, resource ability,
performance, and network integrity; monitor systems activity and usage to maintain a secure environment;
and troubleshoot, repair and provide viable recommendations for resolving problems
6.
Notify department staff/customers of changes, updates and new features7.
Evaluate new Microsoft Windows 10 operating system under consideration for adoption8.
Responsibility for interfacing with vendors' sales and field services personnel to coordinate normal periodic
maintenance and arrange for and monitor equipment repairs and purchases.
9.
Based on the preponderance of duties and responsibilities assigned to the position, the Human Resources
Department recommends reclassification without examination to Network Administrator I (LNSA).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the incumbent will not be properly compensated for the work he is performing.
Additionally, duties and tasks that are essential to the departments he serves will have to be reassigned to avoid
potential grievances regarding employees working out of class. Removal of these specialized tasks from this
position would impede the daily functions of the departments served.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
