After consideration and discussion, the Board <br />reached consensus on the elements of the employee pay and benefits plan. The Board also <br />decided that this plan would be in effect for two years to provide for more continuity in the pay <br />plan and reduce the need to revisit the pay plan each year. The current fiscal year (1999-00) is <br />the first year of the two-year plan and the upcoming fiscal year (2000-01) is the second year of <br />the plan. <br />Attachment 1 lists the elements of the Board approved pay and benefits plan. Based on the <br />Board's adopted plan, there are two pay plan decisions to be made for 2000-01. These are: <br />- The amount of the Cast of Living Increase and <br />- The amount of the In-Range Salary progression. <br />In_the Manager's Recommended Budget, the County Manager will be recommending Cost of <br />Living and In-Range Salary progression amounts for 2000-01. The purpose of the May 9 work <br />session discussion is to provide an opportunity for the Board to receive information about the <br />pay plan, to ask questions, to identify any additional information needed and, to extent <br />Commissioners desire, to provide guidance to the Manager on the Cost of Living Increase and <br />In-Range progression for 2000-01. <br />
