RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21999 to add one (1) full-time Legal Assistant (2Y7B) (represented) position at salary level ZB5 1337 ($4,349- $5,287) and cancel one (1) vacant full-time Clerk Experienced Level (JWXB) position No. 15561 at salary level 3RH 0750 ($2,905 - $3,605) in the Office of the County Counsel.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost increase will be absorbed by the service fee for client billings.

BACKGROUND:

Legal Assistants are trained to assist with litigation matters, document and pleading assembly and review as well as other critical legal functions that fall between the clerical and attorney level of assignments. The addition of a Legal Assistant position will best serve the current needs of the office by creating efficiency for the Department and the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Denial of this request will hamper the Department's ability to streamline operations and create operational efficiencies.
