Throughout the year salary ordinance amendments indicate changes in positions and the compensation established herein that occur in the various operating departments.

The total number of positions authorized by your Board during budget hearings is 5,332. Fifteen (15) positions were added during FY 2010-2011 and net one hundred forty three (143) positions were deleted in the FY 2011-2012 budget. The positions are distributed among the departments as follows:

The ordinance also includes special compensation and benefits other than base pay for represented and management positions that have been adopted through ordinance amendments from the previous fiscal year, as well as a new item on special assignment differential. These special compensation items will be incorporated into future labor contracts or resolutions (for non-represented employees).

 

The adoption of this ordinance contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Prosperous Community by ensuring that departments have staff with the skills necessary to perform the work and allow departments to provide exceptional service to the community.

 

This Ordinance has been reviewed and approved by the County Counsel’s Office.
