Findings 5 findings
F1
Current Supervisor duties and time spent in the performance thereof warrant finding that the position requires full time work.
F2
When compared to the BOS salaries generated by all but one of the methodologies reviewed (even where the Jury rejects or discounts a methodology as not necessarily appropriate for Nevada County), the current salaries paid to Nevada County Supervisors are noticeably lower.
F3
The Nevada County Supervisors are paid, on average, less than most other County employees.
F4
Regardless of the methodology selected the determination of the Supervisors' salary and benefits cannot be delegated; but must be accomplished by adoption of an Ordinance, by the Supervisors, after a public hearing.
F5
There will always be opposition to a pay raise for the BOS. X. CONCLUSIONS
Recommendations 5
-
R1The BOS should adopt the Performance Proximity Method for establishing a new, current, base salary for the members of the BOS.
-
R2The BOS should adopt the Social Security COLA Method for determining future adjustments to the base salary.
-
R3Any increases in the BOS Member salaries should take effect on January 5, 2009.
-
R4The BOS should adjust their salary yearly using the Social Security COLA to determine the amount of increase.
-
R5BOS should review their base salary every five fiscal years, using the Performance Proximity Method. XII.
