Salary Ordinance
On December 12, 2000, the Board adopted an
ordinance prescribing the compensation of the Members of the Board to set the
base salary at a rate equal to 80% of Superior Court Judges salary effective
February 10, 2001, and maintain that relationship as Judge’s salaries are
adjusted (Section 1-2-7 of the Codified Ordinances of the County of
Orange). On May 24, 2005, the Board adopted an ordinance amending Section
1-2-7 of the Codified Ordinances of the County of Orange to calculate the
salary of the Board as a biweekly rate of pay.
The ordinance to amend Section 1-2-7 of
the Codified Ordinances of the County of Orange Prescribing the Compensation of
the Members of the Board of Supervisors would set the compensation of the
Members of the Board of Supervisors base salary at a rate equal to 100% of
Superior Court Judges and maintain that correlation as judge’s salaries are
adjusted.

which is a 6.9 percent increase over FY 2024-25 Modified Budget.
If the Board were to approve all of the CEO's
recommended Restore and Expand Augmentation requests, Countywide appropriations
would increase to $10,800,247,030, Countywide revenues, excluding GPR, would
