Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the retention and attraction of qualified Research Law
Clerk staff has been an increasing concern of the Circuit Court; and
WHEREAS in the past year the Circuit Court has requested to
change the title and increase the salary rate of the Research Law Clerk
classification; and
WHEREAS the Personnel Department has reviewed this request and
finds that the classification is appropriately placed as an exception to
salary grade placement; and
WHEREAS a recent study of Research Law Clerks and review of
relevant salary information both show that a new classification at a higher
salary range is warranted;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that a new classification of
Research Attorney be established as an exception to salary grade placement at
the following new salary range:
31,532 32,571 34,482 36,393
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that current Research Law Clerks who have
been admitted to the State Bar be reclassified to the Research Attorney
classification;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that current Research Law Clerks be placed
on the salary range based on an equivalent experience within or outside of
the County, but no higher than the two year step.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
