Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Amend Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution No. 98-394 Appendix A to adjust the salary ranges of the Community Service Aide I, Library Page, Park Services Aide I and Student Intern classifications to comply with California Senate Bill No. 3, increasing the minimum wage to $14.00/hour, effective January 1, 2021 as indicated in Attachment A; and

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On April 4, 2016, California Senate Bill No. 3 was signed into law, which, in part, increases the California minimum wage to $14.00/hour, effective January 1, 2021.
Currently, the first-step base wage rates of four County classifications fall below the new State minimum wage for 2021:
Impacted
Class Code Classification Incumbents Regular/Temporary
60P01 Community Service Aide I 0 N/A
80C24 Library Page 2 Temporary
68C01 Park Services Aide I 1 Temporary
90A01 Student Intern 0 N/A
Accordingly, it is recommended that the base wage salary ranges of the Community Service Aide I, Library Page, Park Services Aide I and Student Intern classifications be adjusted effective January 1, 2021 as indicated in Attachment A, in order for the base wage rates of these classifications to be brought into alignment with the new minimum wage.
It was also identified that in adjusting the base wage salary range for the Community Service Aide I to comply with Senate Bill No. 3, will result in compaction between the Community Service Aide I and Community Service Aide II classifications. It is therefore recommended, that the Community Service Aide II salary range be adjusted to allow for a 7.5% spread between the classifications and prevent compaction:
Impacted
Class Code Classification Incumbents Regular/Temporary
60P01 Community Service Aide II 22 1 Regular/21 Temporary
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Monterey County Free Libraries (MCFL), Department of Community Services and the Health Department have been apprised of the impact of the legislative wage increase to these classifications with incumbents and concurs with the recommendations.
FINANCING:
All three departments have confirmed there are sufficient appropriations in their Recommended Budgets for FY 2020-21 to support the recommended actions. The Health Department will work with the County Administrative Office Budget and Analysis Division to identify appropriate revenue source for these temporary personnel supporting COVID response efforts.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
The recommended action addresses the Board of Supervisors’ Administration Strategic Initiative and demonstrates the County’s commitment to meeting the Board’s initiatives by attracting, recruiting, and retaining a diverse, talented work force that supports the mission of Monterey County.
