What’s in it
This bill relates to the duties of a county compensation board when recommending a compensation schedule. Under current law, a county compensation board recommends a compensation schedule for elected county officers for the succeeding fiscal year and submits the recommended compensation schedule to the county board of supervisors for approval. When determining the recommended compensation schedule, current law requires the county compensation board to review the compensation paid to comparable officers in other counties of this state, other states, in private enterprise, in the federal government, and, in the case of the county sheriff’s salary, other law enforcement personnel.
Read the full explanation
The bill requires the county compensation board to also consider the current economic health of the county, state, and country when recommending the compensation schedule. The bill also requires the county compensation board to provide documentation to the board of supervisors that demonstrates how the county compensation board determined the recommended compensation schedule, including by providing the applicable compensation information for all the adjacent counties in this state and for counties in this state with a similar population.
