Due to some continuing shifts within the city of Derby’s legal division, staff proposed creating a new full-time assistant city attorney position that was approved by the Derby City Council at its Feb. 14 meeting. Currently, the legal division includes the city attorney (with Jacqueline Kelly just hired to the position), a part-time assistant city attorney and part-time city prosecutor. With the part-time assistant city attorney position vacant for over two years and the current city prosecutor recently giving notice, the decision was made to combine the roles into one full-time position to help attract potential employees. Replacing the part-time positions with a full-time position will cost the city $13,202.07 in 2023.
