SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Section 2.04.370C of the County of Monterey Code (Code) mandates that the annual salary of the members of the Board of Supervisors shall be adjusted by the percentage rate of adjustment applicable to the office of superior court judge. Attachment A to this report contains an August 10, 2023, memorandum from the Judicial Council of California and exempt pay letter from the California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) dated August 9, 2023, detailing salary increases provided to the office of superior court judges for FY 2023-24.
Under Section 2.04.370C, notice of any adjustment in compensation paid to members of the Board of Supervisors shall appear on the agenda of a regular meeting of the Board at least ten days prior to the date such adjustment is implemented; however, the effective date of such adjustment shall be the date any adjustment is effective for superior court judges. As such, this salary adjustment pursuant to the Code will be implemented September 9, 2023, with an effective date of July 1, 2023.
Please note that adjustments provided in Section 2.04.370C are automatic; therefore, Board action is not required or necessary for the adjustments to go into effect.
