SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The County has not conducted a comprehensive review of its compensation plan for over 17 years. The salaries are under market and it is critical to identify areas where significant market differences exist to the extent that they are affecting our ability to recruit and retain staff.
Koff and Associates is an experienced Human Resources consulting firm that has been providing classification and compensation consulting to public agencies for over 33 years. In January of this year, Merced County issued RFP #7171 for a classification and compensation study and selected Koff & Associates to provide the service. Mendocino County is able to piggy back off that RFP and contract with the firm at the same rates, terms and conditions. The study will include an evaluation of the County's current Classification and Compensation Plan, review and recommendation for 150 classification specifications and staff training.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to Human Resources with further direction.
