Sheriff Department Salary Increase Request Attachment(S): � II2�Ca n Contact Ken Thompson YES Fb=e fir: B.M. Whitehead EURPOSE: 'To c'oWrider authorizing an ad'd-itiona.l fifteen percent salary increase .for .an empliq.ye.e in :,the Office of the Sheriff. Specifically, an increa f-or Serge-ant Ear-1 Thomas -from"$13,644 to $15,612. Duo The Sheriff 'recommended '. and subsequently received Board approval, to establish the classification of Sergeant within his department. Seven existing positions were then reallocated to that classification The Sheriff selected five employees' to promote from within the depart- ment. In accordance with Article VI, Section 6 of the Personnel Or- dinanc.e employees receive a one-step (5%) salary increase, or an in- crease to the minimum of the new range established for the class, whit ever is higher. The promotions were made effective. January 15,1983 _ ,.and were in accordance with the Ordinance. however, in the ca.A-e of_ Sergeant Earl Thomas the one-step salary increase permitted was deeme� insufficient by the Sheriff. Several meetings were .held •to discuss the spirit and intent of the Ordinance and to convey why an exception could not be granted. The Sheriff is seeking authorization from the Board to grant- an exception to the Ordiance to permit Sergeant Earl Thomas to receive an additional fifteen percent increase in salary. IMPACT:. The impact o.f approving this request is. two-fold. First, since the adoption of the Ordiance in 1976 all promotions have been limited to a one=step -incre-ase,, or .an. increase..to. the minimum of the new :range. To grant an exception would cause- disparity-and 'inequity.-in tha -ad- - mini'stration of the Pay Plan. Second, due to projected cost overruns in the Sheriff' s budget, resulting in the -need to-transfer fund's from other accounts, 'ther&,is- question as•-�to-.any additional. fund avail,- Ability.' ' RECOMMENDATION: Disapprove the request.
