RESOLUTION NO. _____ - 2017

AUTHORIZING THE CREATION OF ONE HALF-TIME LEGAL SECRETARY POSITION FOR THE CORPORATION COUNSEL DEPARTMENT

[Text Box: Background: A halftime position was created in 2003 when certain cases were transferred from the office of the District Attorney to the office of Corporation Counsel. The position was removed from the budget a number of years ago, however, this is not working well. A half time position is necessary to assist with the transferred case matters. Additionally, because the volume and complexity of work in the office continues to grow, additional clerical staff is required to efficiently and timely fulfill requests presented to the Corporation Counsel staff.] [Text Box: Fiscal Impact: [ ] None [ ] Budgeted Expenditure [ ] Not Budgeted]

                        WHEREAS, the Department has evaluated and determined the need for additional clerical staff to meet the requests presented to the Corporation Counsel staff in a timely and efficient manner; and,

            WHEREAS, the creation of a half-time legal secretary position will increase Department efficiency and service; and

            WHEREAS, the Personnel and Finance Committees have reviewed the position request and determined that the need for a half-time legal secretary position exists.

            NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors,

met in regular session, that a half-time legal secretary position for the Corporation Counsel Department be created effective January 1, 2018. 

For consideration by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors on October 17, 2017.
