Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
The current ordinance restricts the District Attorney to appointing no more than 23 attorneys in the combined classifications of chief deputy district attorney and senior chief deputy district attorney. The classifications are leadership and supervisory positions, which include the supervision of courtroom teams and units. The District Attorney has appointed the maximum number of chief deputy district attorneys allowed, however additional chief deputy positions are necessary due to the District Court’s expansion of courtrooms and normal office growth. The District Attorney is requesting the authority to appoint 28 attorneys in the combined classification, increasing the current number by five. This is not a request for additional FTEs.
