Home My WebLink AboutMINUTES - 03032015 - D.3RECOMMENDATION(S): INTRODUCE EITHER Ordinance No. 2015-05, Version A, providing for a 7% salary increase, effective June 1, 2015, for members of the Board of Supervisors OR Ordinance No. 2015-05, Version B, providing for the same initial salary increase, but equated to 56.5% of the salary of California Superior Court judges, now and into the future; WAIVE reading; and FIX March 10, 2015 for adoption. FISCAL IMPACT: Source: 100% County General Fund. The estimated annual cost of the proposed 7% increase for all five Board members is $50,900, of which $13,125 is pension cost. The estimated annual cost for all five Board members of any 1% salary increase thereafter is $7,790. BACKGROUND: On February 10, 2015, the Board of Supervisors considered several options for setting Board member salaries, as well as the possible salary level. Following its deliberations, the Board directed the County Counsel to prepare two ordinances for possible introduction on March 3: one authorizing a 7% increase to the Board of Supervisors member salaries to the level of $104,307, and an alternate ordinance that additionally links the Board's salary level to that of 56.5% of a Superior Court Judge's salary. The 7% increase was based on a 4% general COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) granted to employees on July 1, 2014 plus a 3% COLA that employees will receive on July 1, 2015. As directed by the Board, attached are two versions of Ordinance 2015-05. Version A would provide for a 7% salary increase effective June 1, 2015. Version B would increase Supervisors’ salaries to an annual amount equivalent to APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 03/03/2015 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Candace Andersen, District II Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, District IV Supervisor NO:Mary N.
