FROM: Sunne Wright McPeak Costa
DATE: Introduced June 8 , 1993 , for Action June 15 , 1993 °5>;= fir' County
SUBJECT: Continuation of Salary Rollbacks
_SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)A BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Continue the salary rollback for the Board of Supervisors and the deferred cost-of-
living adjustments for the County Administrator, Department Heads, and Board of
Supervisors for at least another six months while the negotiations with employee
organizations and the Management Council for salary savings are completed and
the state budget is adopted.
BACKGROUND:
Last year, the Board of Supervisors, County Administrator, and Department Heads
gave up a previously approved 3% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) and deferred it
to the next fiscal year beginning July 1, 1993. Other senior managers and
employees voluntarily forewent the COLA while the majority of the workforce
received the COLA as of October 1, 1992 (as part of a two-year contract that
began October 1991). In addition, the Supervisors received an additional 3%
salary rollback for a total 6% decrease in pay.
The purpose of the recommendation is to continue the salary rollback for
Supervisors and the deferred COLA for at least another six months while labor
negotiations and state budget deliberations are being completed. Unless the Board
takes action, the deferred COLA's will become effective July 1, 1993. And
although the majority of other employees received a COLA on October 1 of last
year, the state's budget crisis and local property tax shift create a circumstance
that forces us to negotiate with employee groups for a variety of salary
expenditure decreases. Therefore, it would not be prudent to have the deferred
COLA's become effective while we are preparing to make huge reductions based
on the state's tax grab.
