RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2011/499, which supercedes Resolution No. 2011/354, regarding compensation and benefits for the County Administrator, County Elected and Appointed Department Heads, Management, Exempt, and Unrepresented employees to reflect changes as recommended by the County Administrator.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of CCCERA Administration, including the Retirement Chief Executive Officer's salary, is charged out to County departments through the Countywide cost allocation plan and is a County cost. The Sheriff’s managers and the County each paying 100% of their respective retirement contributions nets out to a County cost of approximately $57,000 per year. The savings from the new pension tier will be significant over time.

BACKGROUND:

The Retirement Board, which sets the benefits for the Retirement Chief Executive Officer, gave notice to the County that the benefit changes recently made for the County Elected and Appointed Department Heads, Management, Exempt, and

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

A new Subsection (5.11) has been added to Section 5 and the original subsections have been renumbered. The new Subsection 5.11 only applies to the Retirement Chief Executive Officer and it reinstates the 50% subvention by the County of the retirement contribution normally required of the Retirement Chief Executive Officer. All other employees covered by this resolution must continue to pay 100% of the employee share of their retirement contribution.
Section 14 has been modified to provide for seventy (70) hours per year of Annual Management Administrative Leave for the Retirement Chief Executive Officer, instead of the ninety four (94) hours per year granted to all other employees covered by this resolution.
A new subsection (C.) has been added to Section 16 that authorizes the Retirement Chief Executive Officer to sell one third of her annual vacation accruals once each calendar year. All other employees covered by this resolution who were hired before April1, 2011, may sell one third of their annual vacation accruals once every thirteen months.

For managers in the Sheriff’s Department, Section 54 has been modified to add Safety Tier D, the new safety retirement tier recently negotiated by the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association. Further, Subsections 54.10 and 54.11 now provide that effective on June 29, 2013, the Sheriff’s managers and the County will each begin to pay 100% of their respective retirement contributions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Benefit changes not made by the Board of Retirement would be in place with respect to the Retirement Chief Executive Officer; and, the County will incur costs for benefits for unrepresented Sheriff's Department employees inconsistent with the benefits of their represented counterparts.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
