Memorandum
Date: October 20, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Consideration of Memorandum of Understanding By and Between the Lake County Sheriff’s Management Association Units and the County of Lake for November 1, 2020 - October 31, 2021
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Based on the tentative agreements of the parties, presented today for the consideration of your
Board is the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) By and Between the Lake County Sheriff’s
Management Association and the County of Lake for November 1, 2020 - October 31, 2021.
This MOU implements the CPS-HR Classification and Compensation (CC) Study of October
2019 at 80% of market median (Market 80). Wages for the affected classes will be paid at 80%
of the mid-point of the 12 comparison Counties. Those included small counties of comparable
size as well as neighboring counties with which we directly compete for talent. (Calaveras,
Colusa, Glenn, Humboldt, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama, Yolo and Yuba).
This is the first CC study completed for Lake County since 2003.
This MOU eliminates the 12-step salary system, replacing it with a 5-step system and restores
longevity pay for continuous services at 5 year intervals. A 5-step system is
not only more common in the labor market, it was previously the norm in Lake County.
There are no other changes to the pre-existing terms and conditions of employment for LCSMA
Employees.
Your bargaining team is very grateful to the cooperation, collaboration and patience of LCSMA
over the years it has taken to reach this point.
