After <br /> several years of furloughs or no wage increases, new wages were negotiated for all bargaining <br /> units represented in the county. All salary and wages are reported in each department with the <br /> exception of the Unit 11 Fire agreement, which has not yet been approved by the legislature and <br /> is estimated in the provision for compensation adjustment account. <br /> Major changes in projected expenditures are as follows: <br /> General Government <br /> • Planning. Appropriations are increased by $495,000 for work on the General Plan <br /> update. <br /> Public Safety <br /> • Prosecuting Attorney. Three temporary, grant funded positions have been added for <br /> victim services. <br /> • The majority of other changes in public safety are attributable to salary and wage <br /> increases explained above. <br />
