DESCRIPTION THE POSITION Administrative Specialist IIs provide professional level administrative, operational and organizational services to County departments and agencies; plan and conduct a variety of studies and inquiries; facilitate the implementation of a wide variety of programs and projects; and perform work as required. Responsibilities of this broad administrative series normally encompass a variety of activities, such as planning and conducting organizational and policy studies, performing activities related to personnel, purchasing, contracting and budgeting and overseeing functions and staff in administrative services areas. Administrative Specialists may also supervise the work of a small support staff on a project or day-to-day-basis. Although the work is diverse, all positions are typically characterized by all of the following elements: • The necessity for independent decision making; • Project, activity and/or functional planning, oversight and evaluation; • The ability to significantly influence departmental policies, functions or service delivery activities; and • The limited availability or nature of supervision. THE VACANCIES The current vacancies are located in the Assessor's Office, the General Services Agency, the Public Health Department and the Probation Department. However, the eligible list resulting from this recruitment may be used to fill future vacancies in other departments/agencies countywide. ASSESSOR'S OFFICE The primary mandated services of the Assessor's Office include: locate and identify the ownership of all taxable property in Alameda County; determine the taxability of all property; determine the re-appraisability of property changing ownership or having new construction added; annually assess all real estate in accordance with the provisions of Article XIIIA of the State Constitution (Proposition 13); annually assess all taxable personal property at its fair market value; determine and apply all legal exemptions against these assessments; and surrender an accurate assessment roll to the Auditor's Office prior to July 1st each year. THE GENERAL SERVICES AGENCY Alameda County General Services Agency (GSA) delivers a host of logistical support services to County agencies and partners from maintenance of facilities and County fleet to energy and environmental management services, capital project management, procurement services, and clean commute and recycling programs. The GSA Community strives not only to provide these services but to also facilitate collaborative and innovative approaches in its efforts. While the GSA Community largely focuses on support services for Alameda County departments and other public agencies, the work has a direct impact on the communities. GSA builds structures such as libraries and youth centers that transform communities, provides opportunities for local businesses, and works towards ensuring that County work practices minimize negative impacts to the environment. GSA employees take great pride in their work and strive to provide the highest-quality service. PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT Alameda County Public Health Department has worked for over 80 years to improve the health and safety of its residents and the neighborhoods they live in. Traditional public health concerns such as disease outbreaks, environmental hazards and access to health care have been joined by contemporary concerns: bioterrorism, crime, violence, and substance abuse.
