BACKGROUND
On December 1, 1998, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No.1148 establishing the compensation to be paid to members of the Board of Supervisors. On June 15, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 1263, which set the salary of members of the Board of Supervisors equal to 47.09% of the salary of Judges of the Superior Court. When the Judges of the Superior Court receive a salary increase, members of the Board also receive the increase to maintain the 47.09% ratio.
On August 10, 2023, the County received notification that Judges of the Superior Court received a 0.53% salary adjustment effective July 1, 2023. In September 2023, the Table and Index of Classes was amended effective July 1, 2023, to reflect the 0.53% salary adjustment. On December 19, 2023, the County received notice that Judges of the Superior Court received an additional 2.63% for a total salary adjustment of 3.16% effective July 1, 2023. It is now necessary to amend the Table and Index of Classes to reflect the appropriate salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2023. Section 2.100.270 of the Napa County Code provides that changes to the Table and Index shall be established by Resolution.
