RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21918 to increase the hours of one (1) Deputy Public Defender IV (25TA) (represented) position no. 16478 at salary plan and grade JDX 2248 ($10,903 - $13,253) from part-time (20/40) to full-time (40/40) and cancel one (1) part-time (20/40) Deputy Public Defender IV (25TA) (represented) position no. 13526) at salary plan and grade JDX 2248 ($10,903 - $13,253) in the Public Defender's Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Annual cost savings to General Fund of $12,000, resulting from employee benefit (health & dental insurance) savings.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Defender's Office has expressed difficulty in hiring for part-time Deputy Public Defenders and is requesting to increase the hours of one part-time Deputy Public Defender IV position to full-time and canceling another part-time Deputy Public Defender IV position (vacant). The Department will be able to accomplish the workload necessary for the Parole Revocation Program with this new position. This action has no impact to FTE counts and results in a budgetary savings, due to employee benefit cost savings.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Parole Revocation Program requires a full-time Deputy Public Defender IV position. If this action is not approved this may create delays in addressing the services necessary to support the program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No Impact.
