DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Per County Charter section 204, compensation for the Board of Supervisors (Board) shall be fixed by Ordinance. Members of the Board receive a monthly salary of $6,908.66, per County Ordinance section 2.06.020.
In November 2024, with Legistar file 24-1908, Human Resources recommended the Board amend the El Dorado County Code of Ordinances Section 2.06.020. Board of Supervisors Salary Provisions, to increase Board’s salary by three percent, to mitigate compaction between the base wage salary of Board of Supervisor and the Supervisor’s Assistant classifications, to a new base monthly salary of $7,115.91.
The Board decided, at that time, to postpone their compensation increase until then-active negotiations with represented bargaining groups had concluded. Thus, the Board did not increase their base wage, which has remained at a monthly salary of $6,908.66 since February 12, 2022.
Separately, the Chief Administrative Office and Human Resources have recommended the Board approve and authorize the chair to sign a resolution effective the first pay period following adoption to revise the Salary Schedule for unrepresented classifications, which included the classification of Supervisor’s Assistant, increasing base wages for these classifications by four percent (Legistar file 26-0295).
The Supervisor’s Assistant classification reports directly to the Board. The current salary alignment between the Board classification and the Supervisor Assistant’s classification is as follows:
· Supervisor - Board of Supervisor hourly rate (classification only has one salary step): $39.86/hr
· Supervisor’s Assistant hourly rate (step 5): $40.85/hr
