TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Approval of New Hires above Step C in Pay Grade
INITIATED BY: Clerk of Superior Court
Recommendation: Approval is requested to approve the hiring of personnel hired
above Step C in pay grade for the Clerk of Superior Court?s Office effective
January 10, 2017.
Background: Due to the desired staffing within the Clerk of Superior Court?s
Office by the newly elected Clerk, approval is being requested to approve the
starting pay for certain positions within the office.
Analysis: The new hire of two Assistant Chief Deputy Clerk positions which are
currently vacant will aid in the transition, effective and efficient operation
of the Clerk of Superior Court Office. The changes are as follows:
Clerk of Superior Court ? Two (2) New Employees Hired Above Step - C
Job Titles: Assistant Chief Deputy Clerk, Position #0106 and #0404
Requested Pay Grade/Salary: G18-J - $52,413.40
The Clerk of Superior Court has funding in its budget to support this request
Financial Considerations: The salary increases from these changes will be
budget neutral due to salary savings from the new Clerk?s position.
Legal Considerations: A resolution is required to approve starting pay for new
hires above step C in any pay grade.
Recommendations/Actions: Approve a resolution to authorize the Clerk of
Superior Court to hire two employees above Step C in pay grade for the Clerk?s
Office at the request of the newly elected Clerk.
