Board approves modest salary increase for detention deputies; county estimates $156,606 cost for remainder of fiscal year
Summary
Kings County authorized a side letter to the detention deputies' MOU granting approximately a one‑range (~1%) salary increase effective Nov. 24, 2025, with a projected fiscal‑year cost of about $156,606; the board voted 4‑0 with one absent.
The Kings County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday authorized a side letter agreement with the Kings County Detention's Deputy Association (KC DDA) that provides a one‑range, approximately 1% salary increase for covered employees, effective with the pay period beginning Nov. 24, 2025.
Human resources analyst Ashley Hernandez told the board the county’s memorandum of understanding with KC DDA runs through June 30, 2026, and includes a reopener in the second year for salary bargaining. The side letter was ratified by the association and the county estimated the fiscal‑year cost to implement the increase at approximately $156,606 for the remainder of the year.
The board authorized the director of human resources to sign the side letter. The measure passed on a roll call vote with four supervisors voting yes and one absent.
Why it matters: The change affects compensation for detention staff and has a modest, near‑term budget impact. The county characterized the change as part of ongoing labor negotiations.
What happens next: Human resources will execute the signed letter and payroll adjustments will take effect in the Nov. 24 pay period; no additional board action was recorded at the meeting.
