help the attorney's committee. Personally, 1'd like to see a secretary who could handle legal research. • RAY: I think Mr. Balog is suggesting more a paralegal secretary. So, Gary, is that a problem under that classification, to seek somebody with those types of skills? YOSHIYAMA: Legal research? There's a Paralegal classification, SR -21. KUROZAWA: Is this person going to be under the County, or just a temporary emergency hire, or are they going to be under the Union? YOSHIYAMA: This would be a included position, meaning it would be a bargaining unit position. If again, you go 20 hours or more. BALOG: If we hire just a secretary, not a paralegal. YOSHIYAMA: Paralegal, you may still. It's a bargaining unit. BALOG: Do you guys have any guidelines for paralegals? KUROZAWA: The thing you have to be careful with is if it's fully under the Union, they may come in with only certain job descriptions and refuse to do everything else. BALOG: That's my question about the secretary's position. SANTANGELO: And I'd like to not let this commission get too far away of the importance of sound legal advice, and frankly, lets not underestimate the job of keeping minutes for this commission, because we don't know about special meetings and I know that on the Council, it's always been a struggle to have the minutes within the last six months, never mind the next month. YOSHIYAMA: Let me read this one sentence which may, Kevin, address at least a portion. It says here "Part of the job", among many other things, "Assembles necessary reports, background data and supporting materials on matters to be covered for Boards and/or Commission meetings and public hearings. HERKES: Mr. Wurdeman, if we hire a temporary hire for one year does that come under union, if we use County money to do that? WURDEMAN: It's got to be a position created. HERKES: contract? It's got to be a position created and that comes under union
