REPORT BY: Joy Cadiz, Staff Services Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Amending the Table and Index of Classes
RECOMMENDATION
title
Adopt a Resolution to amend the Table and Index of Classes to update the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) Executive Officer. (Fiscal Impact: $20,000 annual expense increase; 50% General Fund, 50% Other Entities; Budgeted; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
The County’s contract with LAFCO stipulates that LAFCO agency staff are considered County employees for the purposes of salary and benefits. Historically, the LAFCO Executive Officer salary has been determined through the County’s management compensation practice of internally aligning the classification salary at ten percent (10%) above the Staff Services Manager classification. To ensure both competitiveness and to recognize the increased complexity in the scope of work done by the LAFCO Executive Officer, the LAFCO Commission requested Human Resources review this management classification’s salary and salary setting methodology. Human Resources has determined that internally aligning the classification salary with the Planning Manager classification is appropriate based on position requirements. This request increases the top step of the LAFCO Executive Officer hourly salary rate from $79.48 to $86.88, effective April 27, 2024.
