Memorandum
Date: October 20, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Adopt Resolution Establishing Salaries and Benefits for Employees Assigned to the Confidential Unit, Section B, for October 21, 2020 - October 20, 2021
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Consistent with the terms of your agreements with other labor groups, presented today for
the consideration of your Board is the attached Resolution Establishing Salaries and Benefits for
Employees Assigned the Confidential Unit, Section B, for October 21, 2020 - October 20, 2021
This Resolution implements the CPS-HR Classification and Compensation (CC) Study of October 2019 at 85% of market median (Market 85). Wages for the affected classes will be paid at 85% 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 Resolution 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
Employees assigned to Confidential Unit, Section B.
Staff is very grateful for the cooperation, collaboration and patience of Confidential Unit, Section
B employees over the years it has taken to reach this point.
