Adoption of the Master Salary Resolution for FY 2021-2022.
body
BACKGROUND:
On February 24, 2015, your Board adopted Ordinance 04733 which allowed that a resolution establish the number of all appointed County officers and employees and their compensation and benefits. The resolution is the base document identifying the number of authorized positions and classifications for all County jobs. It also establishes the compensation and certain benefits other than base pay for County officers and employees. Base pay and other compensation are established by resolution for each employee group and is listed herein as the amount paid for each bi-weekly pay period for information only.
Each year, following budget hearings, your Board adopts the annual Master Salary Resolution that enacts the decisions made by the Board concerning the number of positions in the County service. Throughout the year, salary resolution amendments indicate changes in positions and the compensation established herein that occur in the various operating departments.
DISCUSSION:
The total number of positions authorized by your Board for FY 2020-2021 is 5,782 including adjustments made via salary resolution amendments throughout the year. This number includes positions authorized for the County Free Library System, the First 5 Commission, Retirement (SamCERA), and LAFCO, and excludes Housing Authority. In FY 2021-2022, the Board authorized 5,810 positions. The FY 2021-2022 positions are distributed among the departments as follows:

Financial Impact on County’s Retirement System
Government Code Section 31515.5 requires the County to provide the estimated financial impact that proposed benefit changes or salary increases for current employees would have on the funding status of SamCERA‘s retirement fund, the County’s retirement system.
As reflected in the attached letter from SamCERA’s actuary, Milliman, the changes reflected in this amendment that are in addition to the actually assumed annual salary increases of affected current employees increases the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) by approximately $6,000. While the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) of SamCERA will be higher by this amount, the funded ratio, rounded to the nearest one basis point, will be unchanged.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total number of authorized positions for FY 2021-2022 is 5,810 with an estimated annual salary and benefits cost of $1.259 billion.
