The board action covers the period from May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2027, according to the adopted resolution and MOU. The agreement includes two 2% base salary increases, one effective with the pay period beginning April 5, 2026, and another beginning May 3, 2026, along with revised differentials and other compensation provisions.
County staff estimated the two-year salary and benefit increase tied to the agreement at $1,374,563, including $941,952 in salary costs and $432,611 in benefits. The staff report put the total proposed increase at $1,765,880, with a General Fund share of $370,834.
The MOU also adds or updates pay items including bilingual pay, shift differentials, standby pay, callback pay, educational reimbursement and parking reimbursement for certain employees, according to the attached agreement. Other provisions address retirement and health contributions, leave rules and sign-on bonuses for some hard-to-fill classifications.
The extracted record does not provide a vote tally, although the resolution shows the board adopted the successor MOU and implemented its provisions.
