ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM:
SECOND CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE: AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPENSATION ORDINANCE (2/7/2023 - First Reading; 2/28/23 - Second Reading, unless ordinance is modified on second reading) (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
On February 7, 2023 (12), the Board of Supervisors took action to further consider and adopt the Ordinances on February 28, 2023.
Today’s actions propose amendments to the Compensation Ordinance that reflect the addition of new classifications, the deletion and retitle of classifications and the designation of specified classes that will no longer be filled as terminal.
Today’s actions also propose amendments to the Administrative Code to implement Senate Bill 960 which requires a peace officer to be legally authorized to work in the United States and removes the provision which required a peace officer to be a citizen or permanent resident of the U.S.
Today’s recommendations are for the Board to approve the introduction of the two ordinances (first reading) to amend the Compensation Ordinance and Administrative Code. If the Board takes action as recommended, then on February 28, 2023, staff recommends the Board adopt the ordinances (second reading). If the proposed ordinances are altered on February 28, 2023, then on that date a subsequent meeting date will be selected for the ordinance’s adoption.
