Harnett County Information Technology Department requested approval of a minor reorganization which includes: 1) transitioning the Applications Analyst position to the Systems Team and reduce the pay grade from 77 to 75; 2) Increase the grade of the Systems Manager position from salary grade 77 to grade 78 to align this position to our succession plan; and 3) Change the Admin.

Department budget. 5. Harnett County Emergency Services requested approval of the EMS System Plan Renewal.

Harnett County Emergency Services also requests approval to designate the County Manager signature authority for any EMS System Plan renewals and changes forward. 6. Harnett County Emergency Services requested approval to create a new County Fire Marshal position at salary grade 78 and reclassify the job duties for the Deputy Emergency Services Director position to a salary grade 80 from grade 79. This will allow the department a broader flexibility in meeting its long-range plan and staffing requirements. No additional funding is needed. 7. Harnett County Facilities and Maintenance requested approval to reclassify two Heavy Equipment Operator positions at salary grade 63 to Solid Waste Crew Leaders at salary grade 65.

This reclassification will cause a small increase in the salary which can be absorbed in the Health Department's current budget. 9.
