REPORT
There is a total increase of $22,551 in Net County Cost (NCC) associated with the recommended actions, primarily over fiscal years 2022-23 and 2023-24. Approval of the recommended actions will authorize salary adjustments for identified classifications as reflected on Appendix “A”, to address existing recruitment and retention issues as well as compaction. The total year-over-year cost of the recommended actions is approximately $754,246. This item is county wide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board were not to approve the recommended actions, the existing salaries for the identified classifications would remain in effect and the MOUs with Representation Units 36 and 39 would remain unchanged.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total estimated cost of the recommended actions for FY 2022-23 is approximately $63,247; $1,818 of which is NCC and includes related retirement costs. Impacted department appropriations will be monitored and adjustments will be brought to your Board, if needed. The estimated cost for FY 2023-24 is $690,999; $20,733 of which is NCC. Sufficient appropriations will be included in the impacted department’s FY 2023-24 budget requests.
