BACKGROUND: State law specifies the number and classification of employees in the Municipal Court in Contra Costa County as well as their salary and other provisions relating to their employment. The Board of Supervisors is authorized to make changes to these provisions as long as they are confirmed by an actual change in State law within two years after the changes are effective. Each year, the Board of Supervisors sponsors legislation to amend State statutes to reflect changes in the pay and staffing of Municipal Court employees which have already been approved by the Board of Supervisors. The Senate Judiciary Committee has introduced SB 1961 as an omnibus bill to incorporate the necessary changes from various counties. This bill was assembled under the coordination of the Judicial Council's Administrative Office of the Courts.

They include a 1.5% salary increase for the class of Municipal Court Collection Agent and a change to the class of County Municipal Court Administratorto convert the class from a fixed, one-step class to a five-step class by adding four steps below the previous single step. No other changes are anticipated at this time for 1996. It is, therefore, recommended that the Board of Supervisors co-sponsor the bill to the extent of the changes which are included for Contra Costa County. cc: County Administrator Director of Human Resources Municipal Court Administrator George Roemer, Senior Deputy County Administrator Judicial Council, AOC (Via Municipal Court Administrator) Les Spahnn Heim, Noack, Kelly & Spahnn 1121 L Street, Suite 100 Sacramento, CA 95814 -2- . c a { AMENDED IN SENATE APRIL 18, 1996 t 4' SENATE BILL No. 1961 Introduced by Committee on Judiciary (Senators Calderon (Chair), Lockyer, O'Connell, Petris, Solis, and Wright) February 23, 1996 A-R aet to mend Seef. -74344 of the.n e er-t _....e t gating to ee�ts.
