Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:No change to Net County Cost, as funds for this service are included in the Human Resources Department budget for the remainder of FY 2009-10 budget. Services to be rendered after June 30, 2010 will be included in the FY 2010-11 budget.
Reason for Recommendation:The Board is being asked to make findings that this independent Contractor can more economically and feasibly provide all professional legal services for the purpose of advising and assisting the County Civil Service Commission, acting as counsel for the Commission during hearings of appeals of discipline actions, complaints of unlawful personnel discrimination and other personnel matters pursuant to Board Resolutions or Memoranda of Understanding. Historically, the County has engaged outside counsel to assist the Civil Service Commission in order to ensure impartiality.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Human Resources will forward signed amended agreement to Contractor.
