2. Approve the related Salary Resolution amendment, as reflected on Appendix “B”.
REPORT

The estimated cost for FY 2024-25 is $9,085; there is no Net County Cost (NCC) for this item. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board were not to approve the recommended actions, the salaries for the identified classifications would remain unchanged and would fall below the State minimum wage.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total estimated cost of the recommended actions for FY 2024-25 is approximately $9,085; there is no NCC for this item and the cost includes related retirement costs. Impacted department appropriations will be monitored and adjustments will be brought your Board if needed. The estimated cost for FY 2025-26 is $16,872; there is no NCC. Sufficient appropriations will be included in the impacted department’s FY 2025-26 budget request.
