Discussion and possible action to adjust the salary of Slot #0253, First Assistant Public Defender, from Grade 27/B ($98,175) to Grade 27/J ($104,465.85).
Issue: The First Assistant Public Defender (slot#0253) is currently on grade 27/B at a pay rate lower than the indicated rate approved by the Commissioner's Court for the Second Assistant Public Defender.
Solution: Adjusting the salary would prevent the inequitable result of having the Second Assistant earning more than the First Assistant Public Defender.
Result: It would place the First Assistant Public Defender on a grade and step that would be in accordance with the wage scale adopted by the Commissioner's Court.
