RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/584 to provide general salary increases for specified Management, Exempt, Unrepresented, and Elected classifications for the period of January 1, 2019 and beyond.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated annual cumulative cost of the wage increases are $798,000 for FY 2018/19, $4.6 million for FY 2019/20, $7.2 million for FY 2020/21, and $10.9 million for FY 2021/22. For the 2020 year and beyond, projections are based on current enrollment and an average eight percent medical inflation cost each year. The out-year on-going annual cost for the contract is estimated at $11.2 million.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Historically, the wages and benefits granted by the County to its department heads, managers, and unrepresented employees have paralleled the wages and benefits negotiated by the County with its various labor organizations. Professional & Technical Engineers Local 21 (Local 21), Deputy District Attorneys Association (DDAA), and the Contra Costa County Defenders Association (CCCDA) have recently negotiated wage increases for the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2022. On December 11, 2018, the Board of Supervisors will consider adopting new and extended memoranda of understanding with these organizations. The attached Resolution No. 2018/584, increases wages to align unrepresented management wage increases with the agreements bargained with Local 21, DDAA, and CCCDA.

The following summarizes Resolution No. 2018/584, which modifies wages for certain department heads, managers, and unrepresented employees:

1.The base rate of pay for the classifications listed in Exhibit A will be increased to align with the Local 21 agreement, as follows:

Effective July 1, 2019 4.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2020 3.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2021 3.0% increase

2.The base rate of pay for the classifications listed in Exhibit B will be increased to align with the DDAA and CCCDA agreements, as follows:

Effective January 1, 2019 5.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2019 4.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2020 3.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2021 4.0% increase

3. The base rate of pay for the classifications of District Attorney (2KA1), Public Defender (25A1), and Director of Child Support (SMA1) will be increased to align with the DDAA and CCCDA agreements. Because these classifications received a three percent increase July 1, 2018, the increases are adjusted as follows:

Effective January 1, 2019 2.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2019 4.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2020 3.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2021 4.0% increase

4. The base rate of pay for the classification of County Counsel (2EA1) will be increased to reflect the change noted above and an annual performance evaluation, as follows:

Effective January 1, 2019 4.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2019 4.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2020 3.0% increase
Effective July 1, 2021 4.0% increase

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County could be detrimentally impacted by the potential loss of and experience difficulty recruiting and retaining personnel.
