MANAGER, SECRETARIAL AND CLERICAL SERVICES I am asking that the 1980 Salary Ordinance be amended to delete the Mayor's Secretary position and to add the Manager of Secretarial and Clerical Services. This position will include a broadening of the present duties of the Mayor's secretary to include respon- sibilities in overseeing, in a general way, the work of the secretaries and clerical workers in related city operations. Over the years, the clerical and secretarial needs of the city operations have multiplied. It is time to take a very good look at the way in which those ser- vices are provided. Duties of the Manager of Secretarial and Clerical Services will include general supervision of secretarial /clerical work done for the Board of Works, the Board of Safety, the Police Merit Board, the Housing Hearing Officer and that of other related offices. Ad- ditionally, this position will have major responsibility for exploring new ways of handling secretarial and clerical work, such as, secretarial pools, word proces- sors, part -time scheduling of secretarial and clerical personnel, and so on. It is hoped that increased efficiency of the secretarial/ clerical work will result in more than enough savings to offset the increase of $3,927 required. An appropria- tion bill for the additional monies needed will be filed sometime in 1980. FULL -TIME CITY ATTORNEY 1 am proposing that the position of City Attorney, pre- sently a part -time position, be changed to a full -time position. The 1980 Salary Ordinance establishes a maximum salary of $15,157 for the City Attorney. In addition, the City Attorney receives $5,270 as a Utility Commissioner for the Bureas of Water and Waste Water. This additional compensation, coupled with the base salary, means that the City Attorney will receive $20,427 in 1980. 1 am proposing that the base salary of $15,157 be in- creased by $12,573 for a total of $27,730. Therefore, a full -time City Attorney would receive a total compensa- tion of $33,000. The $12,573 increase would be taken from the $18,000 appropriated for legal interns in the 1980 budget. (3)
