Memorandum
Date: March 17, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Consideration of CPS HR’s County of Lake Total Compensation Report
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
CPS HR’s County of Lake Total Compensation Report is attached to your Board’s Agenda, and CPS HR staff are present today, to present their report.
As your Board is aware, today’s presentation is expected to include description of the Classification and Total Compensation Study methodology undertaken by CPS HR, and market data, as appropriate, as verified by CPS HR. This does not constitute any indication of your Board’s implementation of the Study data, nor what level of salary adjustment is affordable by the County of Lake at this time. These matters are subject to ongoing confidential labor negotiations.
Background
In 2018, at the recommendation of the Classification, Compensation, Recruitment and Retention Committee (CCRR), your Board directed staff to initiate the process to contract for a Classification and Total Compensation Study. On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, your Board acted to award a Contract to conduct this study to CPS-HR, a Joint Powers Agency (JPA) formed to provide sophisticated Human Resources consulting services to public agencies.
As all Bargaining Unit representatives are aware, the processes to arrive at the 12 jurisdictions surveyed and positions that became Benchmarks were intentionally and proactively inclusive, bringing labor and a cross-section of departmental representatives into the fold. We are grateful that so many invested so much to bring this Study to fruition.
