BACKGROUND:

The Public Defender's Office is requesting the transition of Deputy Public Defender III - Project position #17741 and ASAIII - Project position #17617, and their incumbents into the merit system. The incumbents have met the provisions for transition from project to the merit system in accordance with Personnel Management Regulations (PMR) Section 1603.1 - Transfer of Project Positions.

These positions have reached the end of the initial project phase and were recommended for transition to the merit system by the County Administrator's Office in the FY 2021-22 Recommended Budget. The Deputy Public Defender III-Project employee is now on an eligible list. The ASAIII-Project employee was originally appointed to the project position from an eligible list on an open competitive basis.
