• • IRVINE: Seems if you have the right person, they could take some of this research and we wouldn't have to pay $110 an hour. BALOG: That's why I'm saying it depends on your secretary. I just think that it would be in our best interest to get about a 3 member sub committee, as we're talking about these people now. I know it comes later in the next item, but I think we should advertise for a secretary before even an attorney and depending on, let them go in front of that selection committee, and have the selection committee at least make a recommendation of two or three, not only one and bring that forward to the entire commission, because I think there's a lot of good qualified people out there, and I know a few myself, but I don't' think they'd work for one year on a temporary basis, but if you get the right secretary who could do legal research for the commission, then I think something like Corp Counsel would be sufficient, and on full time basis, not part time. SANTANGELO: I feel a little bit different about that in that I think we're going to need something that's a part of this, but what I want to do is I think we need to get on the secretary. I think we can defer the attorney. What I wanted to say was I'd like to move that we have that selection committee. I'd like to also as part of that motion have Mr. Bess lead that up with a couple of people from here. BESS: SANTANGELO: worked with that. HERKES: I'd be willing to do that. Yeah, and mainly because of your attorney skills and having Are we talking about the secretary or the attorney?

If we set up a committee to select an attorney, that would be underway, they could take from now until June to do that and then we could move on to the secretary. YOSHIYAMA: I did some research looking at the job classification for Secretary to Board and Commissions. Within the Civil Service, there is such a job a secretary to Boards/Commissions. It is established as a SR -18, and I have the monthly range. If this position were to be 20 hours of more a week, and I believe that we gotta go through certain steps in hiring someone. That is for 20 hours or more, this is a Civil Service job. BALOG: That Secretary to the Board of Commission is just for secretarial services? Maybe you could share that information you have because my thinking is to get someone who is not just there to do shorthand and send out report. That kind of leans toward what John is saying about getting someone to 15
