MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor London & Commissioners
FROM: Thomas W. Brown
County Administrator
SUBJECT: Position Classification and Pay Study for
Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners- Cody & Associates, Inc.
ENCLOSURE: ( 1) Fiscal Impact - Cody Study,
September 1993
DATE: September 13 , 1993
At the September 8 , 1993 , regular MCBOCC meeting, I
petitioned the Commission to place the recently received
unanticipated revenues of $200, 000 in the salary adjustment
account. These monies would be used to increase the salary
levels of some 135 employees of this Administration identified as
earning less than the Cody recommended minimum starting salary
rates (Enclosure ( 1) ) .
The Commission did not respond favorably to my request in
view of the possible negative impact' of this action on the other
Constitutional Officers .
During the September 9, 1993 Budget Workshop, the Sheriff
requested and received the Commission' s agreement. to increase his
salary adjustment account from $600, 000 to $800, 000.
It is contended that this action by. the Commission provides
the Sheriff' s Department employees an overall higher average
salary rate increase than that of this Administration. The
Sheriff' s Department has $800,000 to distribute to 496 employees
as compared to the County' s $500, 000 for 604 employees.
Fiscal Impact - Cody Study, 1993
September 13 , 1993
Page Two
Liaison with the Clerk of Courts reveals that we presently
have approximately the same amount of funds per employee reserved
for salary adjustment., which is undoubtedly substantially less
than that of the Sheriff ' s . The Supervisor of Elections has only
the 1. 8% C.O.L.A. in his FY 94 budget.
It is therefore requested that the $200, 000 of the
aforementioned unanticipated revenues be proportionally divided
between the Clerk of Courts, Supervisor of Elections and the
Administration' s employees with the Clerk receiving $28, 000, the
Supervisor $8, 000, and the County Administration receiving
$164 ,000 .
The addition of these funds would enable us to increase the
salaries of the employees who are presently earning less than the
Cody Report minimum starting salary levels (Enclosure ( 1) ) .
It is believed the Property Appraiser and Tax Collector have
sufficient funds in their budgets to provide their employees with
comparable salary rate increases.
As you know, for the past three budget years, the Commission
has not authorized any position reclassifications or salary
increases other than a cost of living allowance. The Cody report
was in large measure commissioned to identify any existing
inequities in the County' s pay plan. It was determined that 135
employees were presently earning less than the minimum
recommended salaries for their positions. The salaries of these
employees must be brought up to the minimum recommended levels to .
insure they are being properly compensated for their work.
If approved, it is recommended that these employees should
not be eligible to also receive the 1. 8% C.O.L.A. as these new
minimum starting salaries have already been adjusted for the
effects of inflation. However, these employees would still be
eligible for an appropriate merit pay increase.
