RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22487 to add a Chief Assistant Public Defender (25D1) (unrepresented) position at salary plan and grade B8E ($15,962-$19,402) and cancel one Assistant Public Defender-Exempt (25D2) (unrepresented) position # 3887 at salary plan and grade B8E 2377 ($14.174-$17,228) ; cancel one Information Systems Specialist III (LTTA) (represented) position (#15743) at salary plan and grade TB5 ($5,873-$7,139, and cancel one Information Systems Manager I (LTNA) (represented) position (#16359) at salary plan and grade ZA5 1884 ($8,249-$11,054) in the Public Defender's Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action has a current year fiscal impact cost savings of approximately $168,000, which includes an estimated increase in DoIT charges of $200,000.

BACKGROUND:

This action addresses the transition of the information systems function from the Public Defender's Office to the Department of Information Technology. This will result in increased efficiency, improved project management, and will result in a cost savings. Some of this cost savings will be used to add a Chief Assistant Public Defender. The recruitment will be promotional only and the resultant vacant Assistant Public Defender position will be deleted. This action will ensure that current and future operations of the Public Defender's Office are properly managed and is consistent with the overall succession plan of the Public Defender.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Defender's Office would lack the appropriate staffing levels to properly manage the department.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No Impact
