What’s in it

This bill relates to the compensation of county officers. Currently, the annual base salary of a county deputy sheriff, an assistant county attorney except in a county having a population of more than 200,000, and deputy officers of certain county offices shall not exceed percent of the annual base salary of the county sheriff, the county attorney, or the principal officer, respectively. The bill specifies the auditor, county attorney, treasurer, or recorder, or other principal officers, as applicable, shall set the annual salaries of deputies and assistants.

Read the full explanation

The bill strikes provisions requiring the annual salary of deputy officers of principal officers to not exceed percent of the annual base salary of the county principal officer. Current law requires counties with populations of 200,000 or less to set a county attorney’s salary between and 100 percent of a district court judge’s salary. The bill strikes this requirement. The bill authorizes the county board of supervisors to reduce the salary increase of an individual elected county officer without reducing the amount of salary increase proposed for the other elected county officers by an equal amount if the board of supervisors provides a justification.
