Yes.
0:45:07
So what is the current salary range for attorneys and investigators?
0:45:10
You talked about this a little bit, but because they're so noncompetitive with other city agencies, we just wanna hear that again.
0:45:18
I that's a it seems to me such a fixable we never can compete with the outside, but it seems to me we should be able to be on parity with those in our own government.
Jocelyn E. Strauber
0:45:29
Yeah.
0:45:29
So so the the confidential investigator titles, and there there are three levels of confidential investigators, that's the the tiered system we put in place.
0:45:39
If you take the sort of highest end of of the range for for each of those positions, I would describe as including two years of service and the COLA adjustment, which obviously not everyone gets.
0:45:53
The the the low the lowest tier confidential investigator one is 63,900.
0:46:00
I'm rounding slightly.
0:46:01
Tier two is 76,700, and tier three is 89,500.
0:46:09
And then we have, you know, another investigator title, called Special Investigator that is, you know, another related title which is around 76,700.
0:46:22
So those titles are not competitive with other city agencies and we have a specific request to increase each of those tiers so that that promotional path continues to be attractive and and, you know, we can motivate very hardworking investigators to stay in their in their positions.
0:46:43
So those are the the CI salaries.
0:46:45
Our our attorney salaries are competitive with other city agencies.
0:46:50
There are challenges really, you know, the federal government, to some extent the state government, and and the private sector.
