RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25636 to add three (3) Deputy Public Defender II (25VA) (represented) positions at Salary Plan and Grade JD5 1872 ($8,855-$10,763) and cancel the three (3) vacant Deputy Public Defender-Fixed Term (25WB) (represented) positions resulting from filling the newly created positions in the Public Defenders Office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The three Deputy Public Defender II positions are 100% funded through AB 109 funding. No additional cost to County.
BACKGROUND:
For Fiscal Year 2020/2021, the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) approved funding for the Public Defenders Office to modify the classification of the attorneys assigned to the Early Representation Program (Early Rep) from Deputy Public Defender Fixed Term, to Deputy Public Defender II. This classification more accurately reflects the experience level needed for the attorneys that are working in the Early Rep program. Therefore, if approved, the Department will fill three (3) Deputy Public Defender II positions, and eliminate three (3) Deputy Public Defender Fixed Term positions.
