SUBMITTED BY: Hollis Magill, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: Salary Resolution Amendments
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Approve an Amendment to the Salary Resolution, Section 100, to provide a salary adjustment of 1% for Unrepresented (including confidential classifications covered by Footnote “y”), Management, Senior Management Supervisors, Senior Management, Assistant Department Head, Department Head (excluding Elected Officials), and Extra-Help classifications within U98 (as outlined in Salary Resolution Section 100), effective November 9, 2026, as reflected on Appendix “B”; and
2. Approve an Amendment to the Salary Resolution, Section 100, to provide a salary adjustment for the Supervising District Attorney Investigator classification of 2%, effective November 9, 2026, as reflected on Appendix “B”; and
3. Approve an Amendment to the Salary Resolution, Section 100, adjusting impacted Unrepresented and Extra-help classifications within U98 to comply with California minimum wage, effective December 21, 2026, as reflected on Appendix “B”.
REPORT
The total estimated cost of approving all Recommended Actions, including retirement and related costs is $1,227,825; $319,383 of which is Net County Cost (NCC). Approval of the recommended actions would serve to increase salaries and remain attractive and competitive in the local labor market while retaining a quality workforce. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board were not to approve the recommended actions, the Salary Resolution would remain unchanged.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost for FY 2026-27 is approximately $1,227,825, including related retirement costs, $319,383 of which is NCC. Impacted department appropriations will be monitored, and adjustments will be brought to your Board if needed. The estimated cost for FY 2027-28 is $1,877,850; $488,486 of which is NCC. Sufficient appropriations will be included in the impacted department’s FY 2027-28 budget request.
DISCUSSION:
The first recommended action provides for a 1% salary adjustment for Unrepresented (including confidential classifications tied to Footnote “y”), Management, Senior Management Supervisors, Senior Management, Assistant Department Head, Department Head (excluding Elected Officials), and Extra-Help classifications within U98 (as outlined in Salary Resolution Section 100), effective November 9, 2026.
This item excludes the following classifications due to their previously approved and scheduled salary increases, as reflected below.
Ø Deputy County Counsel Salary Adjustments:
o Effective December 21, 2026:
§ 4% increase for Deputy County Counsel I and II
§ 2% increase for Deputy County Counsel III, IV, and Senior
o Effective June 7, 2027:
§ 4% increase for Deputy County Counsel I and II
§ 2% increase for Deputy County Counsel III, IV, and Senior
Ø Sheriff’s Captain Salary Adjustments:
o 5% increase, effective December 7, 2026
o 5% increase, effective December 6, 2027
Ø Assistant Sheriff Salary Adjustments:
o 5% increase, effective December 7, 2026
o 5% increase, effective December 6, 2027
o 5% increase, effective June 5, 2028
This item also excludes the following classifications due to the Civil Service Commission’s approval of their requested unit modification into represented bargaining groups effective August 13, 2026, as reflected below.
Ø Code Enforcement Officer I/II
o Modified from Unrepresented to Bargaining Unit 22
Ø Veterans’ Services Representative I/II
o Modified from Unrepresented to Bargaining Unit 03
The second recommended action provides an additional 2% salary adjustment for the Supervising District Attorney Investigator classification. This increase would address compaction and maintain a sufficient salary spread between the supervisor and the subordinate classifications.
The final recommended action adjusts the hourly rate of impacted unrepresented and extra-help classifications within U98 to comply with the upcoming increase to California minimum wage.
