Subject:Increase the hours of one part-time 20/40 Deputy Public Defender III to full-time and cancel one part-time Deputy
Public Defender III
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Additionally, as part of the adoption of the County budget at their May 12, 2015 meeting, the Board added
another part-time (20/40) Deputy Public Defender III to the Public Defender's Office as part of the
implementation of Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) under Laura’s Law. This position is effective in the new
fiscal year 2015/16.
The Public Defender's Office has expressed difficulty in hiring for part-time Deputy Public Defenders. The Public
Defender has requested to combine the two part-time positions to create one full-time Deputy Public Defender III
position. The Department will be able to accomplish the workload necessary for the Justice Assistant Grant and
Laura's Law with this new position. This action has no impact to FTE counts and results in a net savings to the
General Fund due to employee benefit savings.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Department would continue to experience difficulty hiring into the two part-time Deputy Public Defender III
positions, which may create delay in addressing the services necessary under the Justice Assistance Grant and
Laura's Law.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No Impact
