Attornev re: Clerk Hire Position: Prosecuting Attorney David Skeen reported that they are reorganizing the positions in their office. They created a clerk hire position to allow the secretaries to do more of the clerical work for the Civil Deputies. He then explained that they have set standards on plea bargaining so this is not being done on as many cases, which has increased the workload on the attorneys and the support staff Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Paul Mcllrath reported that the civil caseload has also increased due to review being required for things such as GMA. They need the additional support staff to keep up with the workload. David Skeen reported that they have opened up their office to provide legal advice to anyone in the County system that needs assistance. Commissioner Hinton asked what this position will do? David Skeen answered that it will be a Legal Secretary position.
