Discussion/approval/disapproval of proposed personnel changes within the Pinal County Attorney’s Office as follows: Authorization to exceed step 3 up to and including a step 13 if necessary for two capital attorney positions. Step Increase - Capital Attorney (Position #81/Grade 442) from Step 3 ($139,471 with ERE) to Step 13 Salary ($174,741 with ERE) and Capital Attorney (Position #110/Grade 442) from Step 3 Salary ($139,471 with ERE) to Step 13 ($174,741 with ERE). The funding allocation for this proposed personnel change will come from savings of approximately $85,855 that resulted from a full-time Attorney position that was included and approved in the Fiscal Year 2014-15 Budget but was never implemented into its organizational structure due to changing personnel needs. With the use of these savings there would be no incremental impact to the approved FY 2014-15 general fund budget as a result of the proposed changes. (Lando Voyles)
