POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support a hiring range of $142,200 to $184,800 for the city attorney recruitment?
BACKGROUND:
Salary is a key component for potential candidates when deciding whether or not to apply for a position. The city’s contract recruiting firm, Waters and Company, has requested guidance in responding to potential candidates for the city attorney position pertaining to the hiring salary range.
Staff has provided a detailed memo on this issue as an attachment.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Using the most recent Mountain State’s Employer’s council Denver-Boulder data for public sector attorneys and aging the data for the employment cost index, staff recommends a hiring range minimum of $142,200 and a hiring range maximum of $184,800. The recommended hiring range maximum is the aged weighted average for public sector city attorneys in Littleton’s market area for 2017.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The city attorney position is a direct report to city council, where a candidate may fall within the recommended hiring range would be determined by city council commensurate with a candidate’s experience.

Staff recommends a hiring range minimum of $142,200 and a hiring range maximum of $184,800.
