Summary
Human Resources presented a draft non-bargaining pay plan for FY2026 that incorporates a board-approved 3.4% cost-of-living adjustment and several classification changes approved during the year; HR will correct a classification step for one case-management position and return a final document for formal approval.
Lindsey Jones, the county’s human-resources director, presented the county’s non-bargaining pay plan for fiscal year 2026 to the Board of Supervisors on July 16. The draft pay plan incorporates the 3.4% cost-of-living adjustment that the board previously approved and also reflects administrative classification changes approved earlier in the year after job-description revisions. Jones told the board that some classification revisions from this year’s job appeals were correctly reflected in the draft, but one case-management position was incorrectly left at Step 11 and should have moved to Step 12; HR will correct that alignment. Supervisors asked HR to make the step correction and circulate the updated document to key staff and the board for tomorrow’s formal meeting packet; Jones agreed to send the correction to staff and to return the final package for action. Jones said additional job-appeal outcomes remain in process and that the HR team will bring any subsequent recommended pay-plan revisions to the board after those appeals are concluded. Ending: HR will submit the corrected pay-plan language for formal consideration and return later with any additional job-appeal-driven adjustments.
