AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of an additional Full Time Equivalent(FTE)position for
the County Attorney's Office in order to provide full time legal services to the Supervisor of Elections
Office.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Hon. Sherri Hodes, the new Supervisor of Elections has requested that the County Attorney's Office
provide her office with full time representation. In the past, the County Attorney's Office has provided
representation to the Election's Office on an as needed basis. With the loss of institutional memory due
to the retirement of Joyce Griffin, Supervisor-Elect Hodes and the County Attorney agreed that the
increase in representation is warranted.
The County Attorney's Office needs to add an additional FTE to accommodate this request. The plan is
to assign Assistant County Attorney Patricia Eables to represent the Elections Office full time then
redistribute her existing responsibilities to the new hire.
