RECOMMENDATION The City Manager, the Human Resources Director, and the City Attorney recommend that this Ordinance be approved. BACKGROUND In an effort to broaden the pool of candidates for this position, the minimum qualifications for the Assistant City Attorney position have been amended reflecting a reduction in the amount of experience required. This will provide an opportunity for those attorneys that are up and coming to be eligible to apply along with other seasoned candidates. However, because the minimum qualifications have been reduced, it is only appropriate that the entry level salary be reduced in parallel. Therefore, the entry level salary will be reduced from $75,000 per year to $48,000 per year. FINANCIAL IMPACT Although the starting salary for any appointed position is negotiated with the successful candidate upon hire, there is a potential for the City Attorney’s Office to save up to $27,000 if hired at entry level.
