BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
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 July 20, 2022, the County received notification that Judges of the Superior Court received a 1.80% salary adjustment effective July 1, 2022. On December 8, 2022, the County received notification that the Judges of the Superior Court would receive an additional salary adjustment of 0.8940% to a new total of 2.71% effective July 1, 2022.
Therefore, the Director of Human Resources requests adoption of a Resolution amending the Table and Index of Classes to reflect a salary increase for members of the Board of Supervisors, effective July 1, 2022, as authorized by Napa County Ordinance No. 1263.
