ST RO UNTY RESOLUTION ADJUSTING WAGES IN CLERK OF COURTS OFFICE
COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
DATE: March 1, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Adjusting Wages in Clerk of Courts Office
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Clerk of Court's office has been facing staffing issues for an extended period of time. There
remains 5 unfilled positions in the office. Part of the issue is the market competition to bring in
new staff, without creating compression with existing staff. We are adjusting other departments
due to compression issues in their departments. The Clerk of Courts does not have compression
among their staff, instead, they have compression with the unfilled positions that do need to be
hired at a higher rate to attract applicants to those vacant positions.
The cost of these wage adjustments are $41,214.16 annually. This will be easily absorbed in 2022
by the Clerk of Courts due to current vacancies.
