THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Adopted this order on October 7, 1997 by the following vote: AYES: Supervisors Rogers, Uilkema, Canciamilla, and DeSauliier NOES: None ABSENT: Supervisor Gerber ABSTAIN: None SUBJECT In the Matter of Confirming Benefit Levels for Exempt Court Employees Res. No. 97/ 524 Designated employees and Judicial Officers of the Court are exempted from the County Merit System (County Ordinance Code Section 33-5.349) and are governed separately in their terms and conditions of employment by authority of California Rules of Court, Rule No. 207. Pursuant to Standards of Judicial Administration Sec. 27 the Court administers an approved personnel plan for Court appointed employees that provides for wage and job classification, employee benefit plan, recruitment, selection, training, promotion, discipline, and removal of employees of the court. By direction of the Court, the salary and benefit levels of Court employees, if not established specifically by the State, have generally conformed to those represented, unrepresented and management classes in the County merit system whose duties and responsibilities are similar; except that certain Court classes have been differentiated from their merit system counterparts in type of benefits provided. These differences have created on-going administrative difficulties and require clarification. The Coordinated Trial Courts recently implemented a new classification plan for exempt management classes and these changes are reflected in this new resolution. Therefore, in order to confirm the direction of the Court as to the level of benefits for its various employees and to establish the necessary administrative record by which benefits are granted, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors in its capacity as governing Board of the County of Contra Costa, and all districts of which it is the ex officio governing Board, RESOLVES THAT: A.
