SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Amending Section 2-2(a) and 2-2(e) of the Gillette City Code to Establish the Assistant City Attorney as an Employee of the City Attorney and to Establish Duties of the Same.
BACKGROUND:

The current City Code, Chapter 2, establishes the government for the City of Gillette.  Section 2-2 specifically authorizes the Gillette City Council to hire the City Administrator and the City Attorney, as well as appoint the municipal judges.  The Code is currently silent with regard to the position of the Assistant City Attorney.  Under the current organization of the City, the Assistant City Attorney remains an employee of the City Administrator and not an employee of the City Attorney.  However, the City Attorney remains responsible for approving payroll, evaluations, and day-to-day activities.  This Amendment, if approved by Council, allows a more logical organization by making the Assistant City Attorney an employee of the City Attorney and allows for a more effective and efficient organization in that Department.  Additionally, the City Attorney is in the best position to oversee, evaluate, and direct the actions of the Assistant City Attorney. 

ACTUAL COST VS. BUDGET:
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I move to approve an Ordinance Amending Section 2-2(a) and 2-2(e) of the Gillette City Code to Establish the Assistant City Attorney as an Employee of the City Attorney and to Establish Duties of the Same.
