BACKGROUND:
The Staff Attorney/Court Administrator position is a request from the Circuit Court. The posi- tion will handle administrative tasks for the Circuit Court Judges, act as a liaison between the Circuit Court and the City of Richmond, conduct orientation and training of incoming law clerks, serve as the law clerk to one judge, and assist the Circuit Court Judges and law clerks as needed.
Effective July I, 2022 the State of Virginia changed the job title of Assistant Registrar to Deputy Registrar. There are no changes in duties. While this is a Virginia law, changes to the Pay Plan requires submission and the approval of City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Circuit Court position is funded by converting two vacant funded posi- tions and the Registrar's positions are merely a title change. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact.
COST TO CITY: The costs fall within the FY23 budget.
REVENUE TO CITY: None
