Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: None. Salary savings from vacant positions will offset any costs associated with this classification. The District Attorney's Office will realize salary savings even after hiring due to current vacancies.
Background: The District Attorney's Office currently has four vacant Deputy District Attorney positions, and is in need of temporary assistance in performing limited legal duties.
Reason for Recommendation: The District Attorney's Office currently has a temporary need for assistance in conducting legal research, trial preparation, court appearances, writing motions and legal responses, and other related work. When the original resolution was brought to the Board on June 21, 2011 there was an error in the salary range which was lower than what had originally been determined in order to attract qualified candidates. This action will set the appropriate salary range at 15% below a Deputy District Attorney I. The cost of this position was calculated using the salary range included in the amended resolution.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Human Resources will ensure that the approved classification is added to the Salary Schedule.
