County staff propose 2% one-time bonus for full-time employees; would cover 375 positions
Summary
Deputy County Administrator Mandy Belyea told the Board a proposed one-time 2% bonus would apply to all full‑time employees (375 total), with 120 in Constitutional Offices; the change was budgeted but will require a public hearing and ordinance.
Deputy County Administrator Mandy Belyea presented a proposal for a one-time 2% bonus for all full-time county employees in Fiscal Year 2026. She said the county has budgeted the possibility and recommends applying the bonus to all eligible employees to avoid disparities; she reported 375 full-time employees and noted 120 are in Constitutional Offices (about two-thirds of those are state-supported).
Belyea emphasized that the proposal will require an ordinance and public hearing before implementation. Supervisor Ferguson asked for clarification on whether the funding was already anticipated in the current budget; Belyea confirmed the bonus had been programmed in the budget as a contingency. The Board received the presentation and no immediate ordinance was adopted at this meeting.
