Given the ongoing challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified candidates for this position, the Town believes that such a reclassification is both necessary and justified. Town of Aurora court officers cover security for court nights, which are typically one (1) evening per week, with some months not having any court dates. Two (2) officers work approximately four (4) hours on those evenings. Filling these positions from a competitive list only to work four (4) hours per week on a weekday evening is difficult. Several municipalities in Erie County already classify the Court Officer PT title as non- competitive, demonstrating that such a designation is appropriate. These municipalities include the Town of Concord, Town of Boston, Town of Orchard Park, Hamburg, Village of Alden, Town of Amherst, Town of Cheektowaga, Town of Tonawanda and the Town of Lancaster. Given this precedent, the Town of Aurora believes it is reasonable for our jurisdiction to be granted the same classification. We appreciate your time and consideration of this request. Please let us know if any further information is needed to support this proposal. Sincerely, Charles Snyder Supervisor, Town of Aurora
