SUBJECT: Salary Resolution Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve amendment to the Salary Resolution adjusting the salary range for Water/Wastewater Specialist II/III/Supervising, effective July 2, 2018, as reflected in Appendix F.

The salaries for the identified classifications are funded through the benefitting properties receiving water and wastewater service within multiple County Service Areas.
