HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 08162011 - D.3RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2011/343 (Attached) regarding compensation and benefits for the
County Administrator, County Elected and Appointed Department Heads, Management,
Exempt, and Unrepresented employees to reflect changes as recommended by the County
Administrator.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The terms and conditions set forth in this action and the companion Salary Resolution and
Compensation and Benefit Resolutions numbered 2011/342, 2011/346, and 2011/348 on
this agenda are estimated to save the County $2.8 million in FY 2011/12. Additional savings
will be achieved in FY 2012/13 and beyond when sale of vacation is terminated
(approximately $970,000) and the wage impact is annualized ($570,000). These savings
will help to alleviate the fiscal impact caused by reductions in property values and the
related decline in property tax revenues and the on-going structural deficit in the County’s
budget.

Subject:Revised Management Benefit Resolution No. 2011/343
BACKGROUND:
On June 28, 2011 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/282 regarding
the intention of the Board of Supervisors to align the wages and benefits of the County
Administrator, County department heads, managers, and unrepresented employees to be
consistent with the terms and conditions of employment reached with Professional and
Technical Engineers, Local 21, AFL-CIO (Local 21) for the period beginning on July 1,
2011.
Historically, the wages and benefits granted by the County to its department heads,
managers, and unrepresented employees have paralleled the wages and benefits
negotiated by the County with its various labor organizations. In an effort to continue that
tradition and to share the burden of these difficult economic times, the Board of
Supervisors seeks to modify the wages and benefits for its unrepresented employees to be
consistent with those of Local 21.
This item is a companion item to the Salary Resolution and Compensation and Benefit
Resolutions numbered 2011/342, 2011/346, and 2011/348. The attached Resolution has
been modified as follows:
1. Section 2.12 - monthly health plan subsidies have been specified - replacing the
formulas that were in the prior resolution.
2. Section 2.16 - the definitions of eligible dependents for health and dental plans have
been changed to conform with new federal laws.
3. Section 5 - retirement contributions have been changed to increase the amount the
employees pay for their pensions. Effective September 1, 2011, employees are required to
pay eighty percent (80%) of the employee share of the basic retirement benefit
contribution determined annually by the Retirement Board.
The vacation buy-back provision was changed in March, 2011. The modification
eliminated sale of vacation for employees hired on and after April 1, 2011; restricted sale
of vacation to once every thirteen months for employees hired prior to August 1, 2011;
and eliminated sale of vacation for all employees as of June 30, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not realize the savings associated with these proposed changes.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
CONTINUED to September 13, 2011.
