Tuolumne County Supervisors Will Vote On Pay Raises For Many Elected Officials
Sonora, CA — As part of the response to a local compensation study completed for Tuolumne County in 2015, many elected officials could soon receive another pay raise.
In December of 2015 the board accepted the results of a study compiled by the group Koff and Associates that has served as the basis for labor negotiations since 2016. Salaries for county employees that were more than 20-percent below the out of market rate were increased in 2016 so that the margin was 19-percent, and they were also given a 2-percent cost of living adjustment.
The non-elected positions went down to 17-percent of average at the start of the budget year in 2017 and 15-percent in 2018, along with a 3-percent cost of living increase. It is also noted that negotiations for current labor contracts, within identified classifications, will bring the margins down to 10-13 percent of the out-of-market average.
The positions of Assessor/Recorder, Sheriff, Tax Collector, District Attorney and Clerk/Auditor/Controller have received similar increases, as in 2015 they were found to be below the out-of-market rate by 26-39 percent.
Below are the proposed changes in salaries that will be voted on at Tuesday’s meeting:
