Kittitas County <br />Human Resources <br /> <br />Agenda Staff Report <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE: <br />8/15/2017 <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Request to Approve a Resolution Establishing the Citizens' Advisory Committee on Salaries for Elected <br />Officials of Kittitas County <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Salaries for Elected Officials (non-Judicial) have historically been set prior to the filing period of each given <br />office as required, and for non-Commissioner positions, before the next fiscal year if determined on an <br />annual basis. The method for setting salaries has included review of data from comparable counties, the <br />ability of the County budget to accommodate an increase, and consideration for the policies and procedures <br />of the County. Recommendations are adopted through Resolution during an open public meeting. <br /> <br />The Board of County Commissioners has researched the option of creating a Citizen Committee to review <br />compensation data and make a recommendation to the Board for consideration. The attached Resolution <br />provides guidance on how members will be selected, what their term of service will be, and the anticipated <br />timelines for making recommendations. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Jerry Pettit, County Auditor <br />Christopher Horner, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney <br />Lisa Young, Human Resources Director <br /> <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is recommended that the Board approve and sign the attached Resolution. <br /> <br />HANDLING: <br />Return one (1) copy to Human Resources. <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: <br />Lisa Young <br />
