Commissioners approve advanced step placement for deputy district attorney hire and shift regular meeting time

The Board approved two administrative items: an advanced step placement to recruit a veteran attorney into the deputy district attorney position and a schedule change for regular board meetings.

Art (surname presented) and county staff described the hire: Cecilia Blue will fill a Deputy District Attorney I position at Grade 71, Step 12, citing 38 years of legal experience and an MBA as justification for the advanced placement. "We're bringing this person in as a step 1 because, although they've been an attorney for 38 years, they haven't been an attorney in Nevada for that long," one presenter said, then described moving her to Step 12 to better reflect experience. The board moved, seconded and approved the advanced step placement.

Separately, a proposal to change the regularly scheduled Board of County Commissioners meeting on the third Wednesday from 1:15 p.m. to 8:15 a.m. was discussed with reference to coordinating with the Regional Transportation Commission and staff schedules; the board approved the time change by motion.
