NEW POSITION INFORMATION FORM <br /> Department: CORPORATION COUNSEL Date: 06-07-06 <br /> Division/Branch: ADMINISTRATION <br /> # of Similar <br /> Pay Fund Pos. in <br /> Class Title Grade Sala Source De t. <br /> <br /> CLERK, III SR-10 $ 2,066 010.131.5131.01.01 1 1 <br /> 1. Give reasons how new duties arose (statutes enacted, ordinances, newly <br /> authorized programs, basis for increased workloads, etc.): <br /> Our new records management system and document imaging system require <br /> clerical work in the formatting and inputting of data for future retrieval, archiving, <br /> and present use. As the role of our legal clerks evolve into more legally challenging <br /> responsibilities, the traditional clerical work must be performed by other personnel. <br /> An overall increase in legal demands placed upon our office is a good thing. In <br /> today's litigious climate, "preventive lawyering" is an indispensable component of <br /> prudent municipal governance. This increased responsibility placed on our office <br /> means additional staff is necessary to meet these modern day challenges. <br /> Our support staff has also been called upon to perform additional duties, such as <br /> providing secretarial support for boards and commissions. These increased <br /> responsibilities require additional staff to service the boards/commissions and keep <br /> up with daily work duties of the office. <br /> 2. Can new duties be assigned to existing positions or handled in other way such as <br /> short-term contracts, etc. <br /> No. The additional demands placed on our office require additional staff. We do <br /> not see this increase as short-term, but part of a growing trend in today's litigious <br /> climate. <br /> <br />
