Subject:Salary Resolution No. 2012/495 Increasing Salaries of Certain Unrepresented Attorneys
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
In fiscal year 2013/14, the cost of a 1.5% and 2% wage increase ($130,500 and $87,000 respectively) will reduce the
savings to approximately $215,700. In fiscal year 2014/15 the full year savings will be reduced to $128,600.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County has historically tied unrepresented attorney classes to the represented classes in the Contra Costa
Defenders' and Deputy District Attorney' Associations for purposes of salary parity. On November 6, 2012, the
Board of Supervisors adopted new memoranda of understanding with the Contra Costa Defenders' and Deputy
District Attorney' Associations that included wage increases. Resolution No. 2012/495 increases unrepresented
attorney classification salaries by 1.5% effective July 1, 2013 and 2.0% effective January 1, 2014 in order to
re-establish parity with represented attorney classes by the end of fiscal year 2014/2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County could be detrimentally impacted by the potential loss of highly-trained legal personnel.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
