Summary of Request

The Human Resources Department is charged, as part of the overall maintenance of the classification and compensation plan, to evaluate current classifications, create new classifications (including appropriate salary levels), reclassify positions, examine requests for salary grade adjustments, analyze allocations, and make recommendations for additions, modifications, and corrections.

 

Human Resources has assisted County Counsel in a review of the office’s organizational structure and departmental needs.  The office currently operates with a Chief Deputy County Counsel whose main role is to perform the more complex legal work and to oversee the work of the attorneys with some administrative oversight.  The department is in need of an assistant whose role is to be more involved in the planning and coordinating of the department including short-term and long-range plans, as well as oversight of the daily operations of the legal staff and administration.  The attached classification specification for Assistant County Counsel has been drafted similarly to Assistant District Attorney and Assistant Public Defender and is presented with a recommendation for adoption.  This request also includes a recommendation for the addition of one (1) full-time equivalent (FTE) Assistant County Counsel and the deletion of one (1) FTE Chief Deputy County Counsel. The department will endeavor to meet budget allocations without a budget adjustment.  The fiscal impact shown below includes the cost of benefits associated with this action.
