May 14, 2025, Personnel Committee Meeting

The Northampton County Personnel Committee met on May 14, 2025, to discuss staffing and budget matters related to the District Attorney's office. Key procurement-related topics included the approval of personnel upgrades and position restructurings to support ongoing operations and new initiatives such as an auto theft task force funded by a grant. The committee reviewed the creation of new positions, including a paralegal and case management assistant administrator, and discussed software system upgrades for prosecutorial management, noting cost savings by enhancing existing software rather than purchasing new systems. Additionally, grant-funded positions related to victim advocacy were addressed, with salary adjustments approved to align with staffing needs. The District Attorney confirmed that current budget allocations, including grant monies, are sufficient to support these changes without requiring additional funding requests at this time. Motions to move forward with the personnel changes were passed during the meeting.
