Vision Alignment | |||
Commitment: |
Responsive, effective and collaborative government. | ||
Goal 20: |
Government decisions are based on careful consideration of future impact, rather than temporary relief or immediate gain. | ||

Background | |||
Each year following budget deliberations your Board adopts the annual salary ordinance. The ordinance enacts the decisions made during budget hearings concerning the number of positions in the County service. Throughout the year, because of changes in the operating needs of departments, salary ordinance amendments are recommended that make changes to department staffing configurations. | |||
Discussion | |||
