Salary board approves law-clerk conversion and judicial-assistant reclassification
Summary
The salary board converted a part-time law clerk to a permanent grade-14 position at $30.90/hr and reclassified the president judge's judicial assistant from grade 13 to grade 14 (to $26.57), citing increased administrative demands; both actions passed.
The salary board considered several court-related personnel requests. The president judge explained that growing administrative demands and unfunded mandates have increased workload, and requested converting a part-time law clerk to a permanent position while retaining the grade (14) and current pay rate ($30.90). The board approved the conversion.
Separately, the president judge requested reclassifying the judicial assistant position from grade 13 to grade 14 to reflect expanded duties tied to technological changes and higher administrative responsibilities; the request included an effective pay-rate change to $26.57. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about effective date and market comparisons; the board approved the reclassification with the effective date set to the first pay period in August (discussion amended the effective date to July 30 in the meeting record).
Both motions passed on voice votes. Commissioners discussed the need for comparables and ongoing monitoring of workload and classification changes.
