Staff had included 1.5% bonus for state‑funded positions; board asks for full 'across‑the‑board' figures
Summary
Staff told the board it had added a 1.5% bonus for comp‑board/state‑funded positions (about $43,449) and agreed to prepare numbers showing the cost of extending the bonus to all employees so supervisors can decide whether to adopt it countywide.
During the presentation, staff said they had incorporated a 1.5% bonus for state‑funded (comp‑board) positions and had calculated the county share at roughly $43,449. A board member asked why some department budgets did not reflect the bonus; staff replied that the earlier draft had not included all positions and that they would 'high‑light' any positions that did not receive the 1.5% in the proposed budget.
Board members requested a single, clear table showing the fiscal impact of applying the bonus 'across the board' to all county employees rather than limiting it to partially or fully state‑funded positions. One supervisor reiterated the board's previous guidance to avoid treating employees differently by funding source and asked staff to return with numbers showing the total cost to the county if all positions received the bonus.
