RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22552 to add one (1) full-time Legal Assistant (2Y7B) (represented) position at salary plan and grade ZB5 1337 ($4799.41-$5833.72) and cancel one (1) vacant full-time Clerk Senior Level (JWXC) (represented) position # 5782 at salary plan and grade 3RX 1033 ($3542.74-$4524.23) in the Office of the County Counsel.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will result in an annual cost of approximately $24,900, including $4,600 in pension costs - all recovered by charges for legal services.

BACKGROUND:

The Legal Assistant position will help the office achieve greater efficiency by utilizing someone skilled in litigation matters, document management systems, 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 will best serve the current needs of the office and the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Denial of this request will result in work inefficiencies and delays.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
