What’s in it
This bill eliminates county compensation boards. The bill grants county boards of supervisors the responsibility of annually preparing and reviewing the compensation schedule for certain elected county officers. Under current law, a county compensation board annually prepares a recommended compensation schedule for certain elected county officers for a succeeding fiscal year subject to adoption by the county board of supervisors. The bill requires the county board of supervisors to increase an elected county officer’s annual salary based on the consumer price index but not by more than percent each year.
Read the full explanation
The bill permits the county board of supervisors to increase elected county officer salaries by resolution and budgetary procedures, but the salary increase shall not go into effect until the next regular election for which the affected position was on the ballot. For purposes of determining salary increases, the bill requires the county board of supervisors to initially use the salary of a position as of the effective date of the bill. The bill prohibits the county board of supervisors from adopting a salary increase for the auditor, treasurer, recorder, county attorney, or supervisors unless the county board of supervisors provides county employees with an annual cost-of-living pay adjustment.
