RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22239 to add one (1) full-time Legal Assistant (2Y7B) (represented) position at salary plan and grade ZB5 1337 ($4,480 - $5,446) and cancel one (1) vacant full-time Senior Legal Coordinator (JWTA) (represented) position #5769 at salary plan and grade 3RX 1290 ($4,266 - $5,447) in the Office of the County Counsel.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

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 inefficiencies by requiring attorneys to perform duties that are quasi legal, and relying on clerks to work out of class.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
