ABOUT THE POSITION

TLMA.png


The County of Riverside's Department of Transportation and Land Management Agency (TLMA) is seeking an Administrative Services Analyst II to join the Planning Unit within the Administration Team.

The Administrative Services Analyst II plays a crucial role in supporting the division by providing a wide range of administrative services and conducting detailed research and analysis of complex processes and programs. Under general supervision, this position offers comprehensive support to management, focusing on agenda preparation and operational functions for the Planning Commission and Director’s Hearing. Key responsibilities include analyzing budgetary and operational processes, recommending improvements, and preparing and coordinating agendas, exhibits, public notices, and staff reports using the MinuteTraq tool, ensuring accurate and timely distribution of materials. The Analyst is also responsible for attending public hearings, taking minutes, and completing post-hearing tasks, such as finalizing documentation and updating agendas. Additionally, the role involves scheduling and monitoring public hearings, drafting legal notices, responding to public inquiries, coordinating site visits, and maintaining records for meetings, hearings, and projects. The position requires knowledge of budget forecasting, policy development, and regulatory compliance to ensure accurate public agency functions, while also providing support to the Planning Director and Administrative Services Manager.

The competitive candidate will possess strong organizational and project management skills, with a focus on efficiency and accuracy. The candidate will have prior experience with public agency meeting minutes, agenda preparation, and familiarity with closed-session agendas for the Board of Supervisors and County Council. Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook), MinuteTraq, and other related tools is essential. A background in county operations or a similar public sector role is preferred, particularly for candidates with five or more years of experience. Strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple ongoing tasks are essential for success in this position.

The Administrative Services Analyst II is the fully qualified, journey level classification in the Administrative Services Analyst series and reports to a supervisory or manager level position. This classification is characterized by the responsibility for performing a wide variety of administrative services including fiscal operations, budget preparation and control, purchasing, contract administration and monitoring, workspace flow and space utilization, staffing, general administration and independently conducting complex and difficult research and analytical studies within supervisory assigned parameters. This classification provides management with the expertise required to identify, evaluate, and make recommendations to resolve a variety of complex organizational and administrative problems, including recommending changes in policies and procedures and developing methods for implementation. The Administrative Services Analyst II may provide technical supervision to a clerical or technical support staff; however, analytical problem solving is the primary component of this classification.
 
The Administrative Services Analyst II is distinguished from the Administrative Services Supervisor by the latter's responsibility for projecting, justifying, recommending, and implementing solutions to a variety of complex problems with limited direction and review from management. The Administrative Services Analyst II is further distinguished from the Administrative Services Officer by the latter's responsibility for planning, organizing and managing administrative services activities in departments requiring a full-time, stand-alone administrative division to complete its mission.
 
The Administrative Services Analyst II is not a natural progression underfill to the Administrative Services Supervisor or the Administrative Services Officer.
