Department:	Public Defender

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to change the titles and modify job descriptions of all Public Defender I (Grade 22) to Public Defender II (Grade 23), with appropriate grade and step modifications; and any other matters incident thereto. If the changes in title, grade, step, and job descriptions are approved by the court, said changes will then be taken to the Civil Service Commission for certification.

Issue: Slot numbers 270, 2085, 271, 1725, and 2754 are currently at grade 22 and designated as Assistant Public Defender I. The item to be taken before the Civil Service Commission, if approved by this court, would be to designate these slots as grade 23, Assistant Public Defender II in accordance with the Condrey Position Grade Analysis footnote which allows for this modification.

Solution: Currently, these are the only attorney slots in the County at grade 22.

Result: The Public Defender’s Office will be in line with the other attorney offices in the County that have designated all of their attorney slots at Grade 23. Further, this will allow the Public Defender’s Office to provide competitive salaries, and be able to retain current employees.
