Agenda Item
Discuss, consider and take appropriate action regarding the hiring of a candidate for PCN #0015 in the County Attorney's Office.
Background
County Attorney is requesting a salary increase for PCN #0015 in order to hire the selected applicant for the Criminal Legal Assistant position.
This position is graded a B.18 and the current budgeted salary for this position is $41,399.10.
This position was posted internally after our former employee determined that they would not be returning following FMLA leave. Our applicant has been working in this position since February 4, 2019, as a part time employee and due to her extensive experience she has performed at the very highest level in this position.
The selected applicant has broad experience in Court Administration, case management and all criminal and civil dockets:
Served as Court Administrator for Justice of the Peace Pct. 4 from October 5, 2007 through December 31, 2018.
Supervised Staff and office operations
Maintained and configured court docket calendar
Prepared and processed fund requests for payment and verified daily deposits
Communicated extensively and effectively with the public, law enforcement, and elected officials
Exhibits high level of confidentiality and integrity in handling sensitive matters
Extensive institutional knowledge of Williamson County
Excels at all tasks associated with the duties of the position of Criminal Legal Assistant as well as assigned special projects
Current county policy sets the maximum salary at 15% above the grade minimum. We are requesting that in this case we be allowed to bring in the selected applicant at $41,399.10 given that the selected applicant exceeds the qualification criteria. As she has worked previously within the County as Court Administrator and for our department, we have direct knowledge of her strong work ethic and skills.
This position is scheduled to be reviewed by HR next year for appropriate grade, we believe that the minimum of Grade 18 is not adequate to attract qualified applicants for this position along with the 15% maximum rule.
