Board authorizes advertisement of ordinance to implement 2% state-funded employee bonus
Summary
County staff reported the state had funded a 2% bonus for state-funded employees on payroll as of June 1 and asked permission to advertise an ordinance to implement the bonus; the board authorized advertising the ordinance and set timing measures to permit a public hearing and possible adoption by September 30.
Staff told the board that the state had allocated a 2% bonus for employees who were on the payroll as of June 1. Management services provided preliminary staff counts (roughly 358–360 eligible positions at the time of the report) and the county described two options for extending a bonus to locally funded employees; the board was asked to authorize advertising an ordinance so the county could hold the public hearing required for adoption.
A staff presenter said the county had 191 locally funded employees and 169 either fully or partially funded by the state in the preliminary report; payroll timing meant the county needed to advertise and hold the hearing with sufficient time to process payments before the state's September 30 deadline. The board voted to authorize advertising the ordinance for a July public hearing and gave staff direction to proceed with the required public-notice steps.
