Adopt an ordinance amending the salary ordinance and accept the report on the total number of positions in the County. | |||
Vision Alignment | |||
Commitment: |
Responsive, effective and collaborative government. | ||

Throughout the year, because of changes in the operating needs of departments, salary ordinance amendments are recommended that make changes to department staffing configurations. | |||

The salary ordinance changes herein represent: • combining two part-time positions into one full-time position, • increasing the salary range of one classification, • increasing the hourly rate of one extra help classification, • adding a new differential for two classifications, and • deletion of three vacant positions and addition of two new positions. These actions were approved for study by the County Manager's Office and the amendment has been reviewed by the County Counsel’s Office. The specific actions are discussed in detail below. | |||
