DATE: February 22, 2022
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Daniel C. Cederborg, County Counsel
SUBJECT: Salary Resolution Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve Amendment to the Salary Resolution increasing allocation for the Chief Deputy County Counsel position by one (1) and revising one (1) Assistant County Counsel position and three (3) Chief Deputy County Counsel positions to be in combination, effective March 21, 2022, as reflected in Appendix “D”.
REPORT
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. No new positions will be added. This will allow County Counsel to have three (3) Chief Deputy County Counsels (Chief Deputies) managing the three (3) units in the office when there is no Assistant County Counsel (Assistant). Upon filling of the Assistant position, two (2) Chief Deputies will be utilized. This will allow County Counsel to better manage its attorneys in the absence of an Assistant.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the recommended action is not approved, position allocations would remain unchanged.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. There is no net increase in allocations or salaries.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, the County Counsel’s Office is divided into three units, which are supervised by one Assistant and two Chief Deputies. When the Assistant position is unfilled, the County Counsel’s Office would like to utilize three Chief Deputies to supervise the three units. Upon the filling of the Assistant position, only two Chief Deputy positions can be utilized. This will provide for the continued efficient functioning of the Office as well as time to fill the Assistant position.
