RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/412 to provide for salary increases for specified unrepresented Probation safety positions to parallel those in the new DSA Probation and Probation Supervisor Units Memorandum of Understanding for the period November 1, 2017 and beyond.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The five percent wage increase, effective July 1, 2018, has an estimated cost of $192,000.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County has historically tied unrepresented safety Probation classes to represented classes in the Probation Peace Officers Association for purposes of salary increases and decreases. The Board of Supervisors recently adopted a new memorandum of understanding with the Deputy Sheriffs Association Probation and Probation Supervisor Units that includes a wage increase. The Probation Department employs approximately 16 of these unrepresented safety employees.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Effective July 1, 2018, Resolution No. 2017/412 provides for a five percent (5%) wage increase for the following classifications:

County Probation Officer-Exempt (7AA1)
Assistant County Probation Officer-Exempt (7AB1)
Probation Manager (7AGB)
Probation Director (7BFA)
Institutional Supervisor II (7KGA)
Chief Deputy Probation Officer (7ADC)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County could be detrimentally impacted by the potential loss of highly-trained probation personnel and it may become more difficult to attract candidates for promotion.
