Improvement Package Summary

This improvement package request is for the creation of a full-time Assistant City Attorney I position
(1.00 FTE, GE-37) within the City Attorney’s Office. Under the supervision and direction of the City
Attorney, this position conducts legal activities of the City including providing legal services to the City
Manager, City Council, and boards and commissions. Creation of this position will facilitate a
succession plan for the individual to become familiar with the organization and processes in the City.
The goal is to grow and develop the individual hired to take on more responsibility and duties, allowing
for efficiencies and reduced response times and better balanced workload for the City Attorney’s Office.
The City Attorney’s Office is an administrative department within the organization acting in a support
role for all departments. The City Attorney Office's work directly impacts the ability of other departments
to meet the goals and priorities as set by the City Council. The addition of this position would aid in the
City of Dubuque’s goal of a financially responsible, high-performance city organization: sustainable,
equitable, and effective service delivery.
