AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Amending Special Compensation Categories

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
HHS Interpreter/Translator Stipend Pay
The County added stipend pay of $7.00/hour for HHS employees that perform
Interpreter/Translator duties in addition to their regular duties back in 2015. Since that time, the
stipend pay has not increased. HHS is requesting an increase in stipend pay from $7.00/hour to
$8.00/hour. The County has been averaging 300 hours per year for internal Interpreter services
being paid through the stipend. This has provided significant cost savings over using a 3rd party
vendor which typically invoices services between $40-$65/hour. If approved, this $1.00 per hour
increase in stipend pay would have an approximate $300 impact to the annual budget.
Addition of Abstractor Stipend Pay
This is a request to add Abstractor Stipend Pay in the amount of $1.50/hour. County abstractors
locate, analyze, and evaluate title records for lands, homes and other property. They perform
research to make sure the property has no restrictions on its use or sale, such as delinquent
taxes. After analyzing the title records, they prepare an abstract, which is a written document
that describes the ownership history of the property, including any transfers or liens. The First
Deputy in the Register of Deeds has experience in this role and is able to perform these duties
outside of her normal job duties and the County would like to be able to compensate her
accordingly by adding a $1.50/hour stipend pay for hours spent performing abstractor duties.
The Register of Deeds anticipates the First Deputy will spend approximately 230 hours per year
performing abstractor duties, for an estimated budget cost of $345/year.
