Shasta County board materials outline a proposed Wildlife Liaison classification intended to help the county pursue state funding for the position, while stopping short of authorizing a filled job. The staff report identifies District 3 Supervisor Corkey Harmon as the sponsor and says the classification would support coordination involving livestock producers, wildlife agencies and wildlife-conflict response work.
The staff report recommends a salary resolution that would amend the county’s classification specifications and salary schedule. It says the resolution does not add the position to the Position Allocation List. Staff would return to the Board of Supervisors after the state makes a funding determination with a possible request to add the position.
The proposed salary resolution lists approximate monthly pay of $4,867 at Step A and $6,212 at Step F. It states an effective date of Sept. 20, 2026, for the classification and salary-schedule changes.
The staff report marks the proposal as having no additional General Fund impact, while noting that staff time was needed to prepare and review the documents and that those costs are covered by existing fiscal 2026-27 appropriations. The supplied resolution contains blank fields for ayes, noes, absences, abstentions and recusals, so it does not establish whether the board approved the measure on Sept. 15.
