Court approves one-year funding approach for a part-time DA attorney pending review
Summary
The court agreed to treat a midyear personnel request for a part-time assistant district attorney as a one-year-funded item to help manage a CPS caseload while the court and staff reassess longer-term needs.
The court discussed one remaining personnel request from the prior session: funding for a part-time assistant district attorney to help address CPS caseloads.
Staff described the request as a midyear funding item to bridge capacity while three attorneys currently absent return to service and while the DA's office and court evaluate long-term staffing needs. Multiple commissioners said they supported funding the position for one year only and then reevaluating the need when the DA's staffing situation stabilizes.
"It's a one-year deal as far as I'm concerned," a commissioner said, and the court expressed consensus to treat the request as a limited-duration item. Staff will add the one-year funding in the proposed budget and schedule re-evaluation during the next fiscal year.
No formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript; commissioners expressed a working consensus in open court.
