Item 33
33 approve personnel amendments. I move approval.
>> second.
>> there's some discussion ones on there, judge.
>> I have a couple of non-routine items. The first one is a non-routine demotion for the district clerk's office. An employee that is being demoted back to a position arranged from 19 to a 13, under the current mobility policy, it's a demotion policy that's 5% per pay grade, which would result in a 30% decrease for the employee. The department wishes to -- to only reduce the employee's pay by approximately 12% to the maximum of the pay grade that the employee is being demoted to. And -- but the department wants to run the person back to the old job from which he or she was promoted at the same salary.
>> actually, there was -- what they are wanting to do, I think facilities maintenance is here to discuss it as well.

>> the second is a non-routine classification review. Consequence stanley 4 requested a conversion of a deputy constable senior slot to a constable sergeant lot. Hr and d concurs with that. Funding is available. This is the only constable that does not have a constable sergeant slot.
>> right. Move approval.
>> the only question here is are these permanent savings?
>> he will answer that.
>> yes, it is, commissioner.
>> thank you.
