What’s in it
AI summary Instead of using a special compensation board, county supervisors will now be responsible for setting the pay for certain elected county officials. These supervisors must increase salaries based on the consumer price index, but the raise cannot be more than 3 percent each year. Any additional pay increases decided by the supervisors will not take effect until the next time that official's position is up for election.1
Read the official explanation
This bill eliminates county compensation boards and amends the method for determining annual salary increases. 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 3 percent each year. The bill permits the county board of supervisors to increase elected county officer salaries by ordinance 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.
