DEPARTMENT: Central Human Resources
ORIGINATOR: Kathleen Kurjiaka
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Ken Klein 12/5/24
PURPOSE: Authorizing the County Executive to Approve and Implement Compensation Increases for Non-Represented County Employees as Authorized in the 2025- 2026 Biannual Budget
BACKGROUND: Section 3 of the 2025-2026 Council adopted Biennial Budget provides that compensation levels for 2025 for non-represented regular employees, except the elected officials identified in SCC 2.105.010, employees covered by the Sheriff's Office exempt employees compensation plan established by SCC 3.69.050, and District and Superior Court Judges and Commissioners, as well as certain temporary employees are intended to be treated in a manner that is the same as any compensation increases granted to AFSCME union employees, not subject to interest arbitration in their collective bargaining agreements covering the year 2025. Good faith negotiations were previously completed, and a ratified Primary Collective Bargaining Agreement between Snohomish County and AFSCME has been signed by all parties, which includes a cost of living adjustment of three and sixty-three hundredth percent (3.63%), effective January 1, 2025. This motion adopts and approves a COLA for non-represented employees, except as noted, equivalent to three and sixty-three hundredth percent (3.63%), effective January 1, 2025, based on the rates of compensation for 2024 previously adopted by the County Council.
