BE IT RESOLVED, that Departmental Budgets are adjusted per Attachment A. The budget increases are funded with $15,228,326 in fund balance from various funds along with $4,000,000 of General Fund Balance and a contingency transfer of $14,455,996. The controller is authorized to transfer and disburse these funds.

The County was negotiating labor contracts while the 2022 budget was being developed and did not include money for general salary adjustments pending the conclusion of labor negotiations. Additionally, the final contract agreements included market rate adjustments for certain job classes and a $500 per employee recognition payment. At this time there are agreements in place that cover 83% of our organized employees.

Current Request: Authorization to make the appropriate budget adjustments to fund the general salary adjustments, market rate adjustments, and retention pay included in current agreed upon labor contracts and estimated amounts for the remaining contracts that need to be finalized.
