Board approves 4.3% COLA and temporary commuter benefit for unrepresented employees
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 26-1688 setting the FY26–27 salary and benefits schedule for unrepresented employees, including a 4.3% cost-of-living adjustment (April-over-April CPI + 0.5%) and a one-year commuter inflation-offset benefit capped at $450 per employee.
The Ross Valley Sanitary District board approved a salary-and-benefits resolution for unrepresented employees as part of the fiscal-year process.
Staff explained that the resolution includes a 4.3% cost-of-living adjustment for all employees, calculated as April-to-April CPI of 3.8% plus 0.5%. "The COLA, for all employees, and unrepresented employees are captured in the resolution here of 4.3%, which is based on the April to April CPI of 3.8% plus 0.5 a percent," staff said. The resolution also adds two commuter benefits: a tax-deferred commuter incentive and a one-year program to offset inflationary commuting costs; the combined commuter offering is capped at $450 per employee per year.
The resolution was moved and approved by roll-call vote; board members confirmed it is part of the adopted budget for FY26–27. Staff said the commuter augmentation was proposed in response to higher commuting costs and staff input.
