TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Hollis Magill, Interim Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: Salary Resolution Amendments
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve Amendment to the Salary Resolution adjusting the range for the Senior Engineer and Supervising Engineer classifications and the hourly rate for the Law Clerk classification, effective March 8, 2021, as reflected in Appendix B.
REPORT
There is a $59,405 increase in Net County Cost (NCC) associated with the recommended action.
