Board approves three-year memorandum for Atlantic County assistant prosecutors, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025
Summary
The board approved a three-year memorandum of agreement for assistant prosecutors at the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025; administration said the contract averages a 5.85% annual increase over its term, with a prorationed budget impact of 3.36% for the current year. One commissioner abstained.
The Atlantic County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 271, authorizing a negotiated successor memorandum of agreement for assistant prosecutors at the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office.
Mr. Ferguson, who provided an overview to the board, said the agreement covers a three-year term retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025, and running through the end of calendar year 2027. "This would be a n agreement that would run for three years, but would be retroactive to January 1 of 2025," he said.
He said the contract’s cost averages 5.85% annually over the life of the agreement, but because some salary items are prorated to anniversary dates, "the actual cost on a prorationed basis to this year's budget is 3.36%." Mr. Ferguson described the contract as intended to address retention concerns.
Commissioners discussed the terms and retention; the transcript records a comment that the contract appeared "very generous" but the speaker is not identified by name in the record. On the roll call the resolution passed with one abstention recorded.
The board did not provide additional budget detail during the meeting; administration indicated they would answer follow-up budget questions if requested.
