RECOMMENDATION(S):

INTRODUCE Ordinance No. 2021-02 amending the County Ordinance Code to exclude from the merit system the classification of Senior Financial Counsel-Exempt, WAIVE READING and FIX February 9, 2021 for adoption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The classification of Senior Financial Counsel-Exempt is a longstanding single-position classification in the County Counsel’s Office. When section 33-5.410 was last amended, this classification was incorrectly omitted from the ordinance. The classification has not been eliminated, and this ordinance would correct that omission. This classification is distinguished by its responsibility for providing financial and related administrative and policy assistance to the County Counsel, as well as conducting the most difficult and complex county tax and financial litigation. It has responsibility for legal tax and financial advice and service to multiple County departments. This position also supervises subordinate attorneys who perform legal services in tax and financial areas.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County ordinance will incorrectly omit the classification of Sr. Financial Counsel-Exempt from ordinance listing the classifications exempt from the merit system.
