See Attachment B for changes to the Authorized Position and Salary Resolution (non-budget related items).

Staff recommends the approval of a Cost of Living Adjustment of 3%, effective June 30, 2024, for unrepresented employees, excluding elected officials and contract employees, to ensure parity with represented groups.

Human Resources recommends the Board approve the request from the Sheriff's Office to grant an accelerated merit step increase to Step 3 for Kaanan Goradia, upon her regular merit increase to Step 2 in the class of Accountant I, for outstanding performance, effective May 19, 2024. The Board of Supervisors may adjust the salary of an incumbent to any step within the salary range in order to correct inequities, reward outstanding achievement and performance, or for other reasons acceptable to the Board. Ms. Goradia has been with the Sheriff's Office for 7 months and passed her probationary period excellently. She has successfully completed training on payroll, invoice entry, purchase order processing and is performing her functions and duties at a remarkable level. This action will result in an additional 5% increase for the incumbent.

CalPERS requires local agencies to have a resolution on file that identifies the individual(s) responsible for making industrial disability retirement determinations for local safety employees who are injured on the job and unable to return to work in any capacity in the County. The recommended action updates the "Delegation of Authority" to the County Administrator and Director of Human Resources. See Attachment C for resolution.
