RESOLUTION NO. 2015 — 013
AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -067 IN THE MATTER OF
ADOPTING A SALARY SCHEDULE AND POLICIES FOR UNREPRESENTED
WHATCOM COUNTY EMPLOYEES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2015 through
DECEMBER 31, 2016
WHEREAS, A Resolution in the Matter of Adopting a Salary Schedule and Policies
for Unrepresented County Employees was adopted December 9, 2014; and
WHEREAS, the County desires to clarify language with regard to position
realignment; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the County to make any needed changes to
the Unrepresented Resolution through an amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
3.1 Court Commissioners, Court Commissioners are to be paid at a rate
equivalent to a percentage of the comparable state Court Judge salary level. Any changes
in these Judges' salaries will be reflected in the comparable Court Commissioners'
salaries.
% of Comp. Judge Range
Superior Court Commissioner 90% 903
District Court Commissioner 85% 904
4.3 Realignment. If funding is available within the authorized budget,
Department Heads can request consideration on the appropriate form, for realignment of
positions the following January which are paid at least three percent (3.00 %) below the
average of at least four (4) of the six (6) comparable counties (all comparable counties
where matches exist must be used). Individuals moving to a new range because of
realignment of non - represented positions or ranges shall be placed in their current step
(but no higher than the top step) one range above their current range. The effective date
of the realignment shall become the step increase date. Positions which are experiencing
recruitment and /or retention difficulties may be looked at during the year if funding is
available within the current year's budget for the department. To maintain internal parity,
the District Court Commissioner pay will be set at a ratio 5% below the Superior Court
Commissioner ratio of pay rather than aligned with comparable counties, as established in
section 3.1 above.
AND FURTHER, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Council intends that
the Administration will apply the above amendments to the 2015 -2016 Unrepresented
Resolution which shall become effective April 1, 2015.
APPROVED this 31st day Of march 2015.
