SUBJECT: Resolution Amending the Departmental Allocation List for the Office of County Counsel
RECOMMENDATION
title
Adopt a Resolution amending the Departmental Allocation List for the Office of County Counsel. (Fiscal Impact: $2,900 Expense; General Fund; Budgeted; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
During Fiscal Year 2023-2024 a 1.0 FTE Deputy County Counsel I/II/III position was approved to be added with the intention of underfilling with a Deputy County Counsel I. However, Personnel Schedule D incorrectly reflected the addition of a Deputy County Counsel I. This position has been filled for over two years, and the incumbent has been recommended for a promotion to Deputy County Counsel II. The requested action deletes the Deputy County Counsel I and adds a Deputy County Counsel I/II/III to reflect the original intent and will allow the incumbent to be promoted.
The increase in salary and benefits for the remainder of the fiscal year is approximately $2,900 and is covered through salary savings.
Requested Action:
Amend the Department Allocation List for the Office of County Counsel by deleting 1.0 FTE Deputy County Counsel I and adding 1.0 FTE Deputy County Counsel I/II/III, effective April 25, 2026.
