RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a Resolution to:
a. Amend Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution No. 98-394 Appendix A to adjust the salary ranges of the Data Entry Operator I-II, Food Service Worker I-II, Park Services Aide I-III, Mailroom Clerk and Senior Mailroom Clerk, Range Aide and Student Intern classifications to comply with California Senate Bill No. 3, increasing the minimum wage to $15.50/hour at first step and to maintain the spreads within the series where applicable, effective January 1, 2023 as indicated in Attachment A;

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On April 4, 2016, California Senate Bill No. 3 was signed into law, which, in part, increases the California minimum wage to $15.50/hour, effective January 1, 2023.
Currently, the first-step base wage rates of eight County classifications fall below the new State minimum wage effective January 1, 2023:
Therefore, it is recommended to adjust the salary ranges of the classifications above to $15.50 per hour at first step and to maintain the spreads within the series effective January 1, 2023.
It is further recommended to abolish the classifications of Laundry Worker I-II and Library Page as they no longer meet the needs of the County.
