RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Ordinance No. 2013-03 amending Section 33-5.410 of the County Ordinance Code to Exempt from the Merit System the classification of Deputy County Counsel- Deep Class- Exempt, as requested by the Office of County Counsel.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no cost associated with this action.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this action is to adopt Ordinance No. 2013-03, authorizing the amending of the County Ordinance Code to exempt from the merit system the classification of Deputy County Counsel - Exempt.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The current recruitment and hiring processes do not allow the Office of the County Counsel to target and recruit attorneys with specialized training and/or experience in those areas of civil law that are practiced in the Office of the County Counsel. Adopting the amended Ordinance will allow the County Ordinance Code to exempt this class from the merit system and allow this office to hire, when needed, those specialized attorneys without significant delay, to the benefit of County clients.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
