RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25690 to add one full-time Legal Assistant (2Y7B) (represented) at salary plan and grade ZB5 1337 (salary range $4943.40 - $6,008.73) and cancel one vacant full-time Civil Litigation Secretary (J3TH) (represented) position number 10339 at salary plan and grade 3R5 1253 (salary range $4,548.88- $5,529.20) in the Office of the County Counsel.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The annual cost of this action will total $4,734, including $1,278 of pension costs. The cost will be funded 100% by the General Liability Insurance Internal Service Fund.

BACKGROUND:








BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In August 2018, the Tort and Civil Rights Litigation Division lost a 20+ year veteran Civil Litigation Secretary to an internal promotion in the General Law Division. Since then, this position has remained unfilled. After exploring different models to properly support the division staffed with six attorneys, it became clear that an additional Legal Assistant is needed to assist attorneys with document intensive cases that require extensive review and preparation. Furthermore, an additional Legal Assistant position will allow the attorneys more time to concentrate on attorney tasks.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Foreseeable, potential consequences of a decision not to approve this request may be department inefficiencies, such as missed deadlines, work deferment and disruption in the provision of legal support services; as well as diminished work quality and job satisfaction, both for attorneys and the support staff.
