TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2012 STAFFING ORDINANCE AND
ESTABLISHING THE POSITION OF LAW DEPARTMENT TECHNICIAN IN THE LAW
DEPARTMENT
ISSUE
Should City Council establish the position of Law Department Technician?
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
When the Law Department was created as a functioning department of the City commencing in
2010, the staffing provided for a Legal Secretary position. Unfortunately, the City was unable to
hire a qualified Legal Secretary with the required knowledge and skills for the budgeted salary.
Consequently, the staffing in the Law Department was revised to eliminate the Legal Secretary
position and instead have a Clerk Typist position, with the intention that the person filling that
position would be trained and required to acquire the skills of a legal secretary.
In nearly all of the Departments within the City, there is a Technician classification. Typically,
after a Clerk Typist has performed successfully for two (2) years, the Clerk Typist is then
upgraded to the Technician classification.
Because the Clerk Typist in the Law Department has successfully performed for the two years
and has acquired the skills of a legal secretary, it is appropriate to allow the position to be
classified as Law Department Technician.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact for the balance of 2012 is $1,276.
