Board authorizes HR to implement pay-scale adjustments for Sheriff's supervisory positions

Human Resources presented proposed compensation adjustments for five non-union supervisory positions in the Sheriff's Office—two lieutenants, the undersheriff, the Animal Control Supervisor, and the Lead Dispatcher—intended to address wage compression that emerged after recent bargaining agreements. The adjustments aim to maintain roughly a $10,000 separation between the sergeant and lieutenant pay ranges. Finance reported the lieutenants and the Lead Dispatcher could be accommodated within existing departmental appropriations, while adjustments for the Animal Control Supervisor and the undersheriff could require approximately $40,000 from the General Fund.
