Services are being cut. Economic development and tourism\u2014the very programs that support our small business economy\u2014are being defunded. And yet, while departments tighten belts and hiring is frozen, one thing keeps growing unchecked: raises under <a href=\"https:\/\/eldorado.legistar.com\/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=7282611&amp;GUID=F1B477ED-EA9D-4258-A28E-56C91944CFE8\">Section 504 of the County Charter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Section 504 was adopted in 1995 with a very specific purpose: to ensure that &#8220;Deputy Sheriff I&#8221; and &#8220;Deputy Sheriff II&#8221; classifications received salaries competitive with nearby law enforcement agencies. It was narrowly designed to support recruitment and retention, while insulating deputy compensation from political interference.<\/p>\n<p>But over the years, Section 504 has been quietly mutated into a powerful and expensive tool to give guaranteed raises to employees who were never intended to be covered\u2014and without voter approval. Board resolutions, internal policy changes, and labor negotiations have steadily expanded the list of 504-linked positions to include attorneys, a significant portion of the District Attorney\u2019s Office, roles within the Public Defender\u2019s Office, parole officers, county jail officers, and high-level administrative positions\u2014both elected and appointed.<\/p>\n<p>These are not sworn peace officers. Yet they\u2019re now receiving automatic raises tied to law enforcement benchmarks\u2014even in the midst of a fiscal crisis. Some of these raises reach as high as 35%, totaling more than $30,000 per person, while other departments are asked to scale back services.<\/p>\n<p>And worse: these raises are being and have been buried in the consent calendar\u2014the portion of Board agendas typically reserved for routine, uncontroversial business. There\u2019s no presentation. No debate. No justification. Just a quiet vote and an expanding financial obligation the public never signed off on.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the irony. The County says we\u2019re broke\u2014but there\u2019s always money for quiet raises at the top.<\/p>\n<p>Current Auditor-Controller Joe Harn and former CAO Don Ashton have both warned publicly that the unchecked expansion of Section 504 is creating long-term financial risks. Their concerns deserve serious attention\u2014not dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t about attacking public employees or undermining law enforcement. This is about transparency, fiscal responsibility, and honoring the will of the voters. Section 504 was approved to protect deputy salaries\u2014not to create an untouchable, automatic raise machine for high-level management. The El Dorado County Taxpayers Association is calling on the Board of Supervisors to agendize a full review of Section 504\u2014its origins, its current applications, its fiscal impact, and whether it&#8217;s time to return the matter to voters for clarification or correction. Because right now, Section 504 has gone far beyond its original intent\u2014and the taxpayers are paying the price.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">[SOURCE] Opinion: By Lee Tannenbaum, President of the El Dorado County Taxpayers Association<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Section 504 Was Meant to Protect Deputies \u2014 Now It\u2019s a Blank Check<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"As Services Are Cut, Unchecked Salary Hikes Drain Taxpayer Dollars","format":"standard","override":[{"template":"7","parallax":"1","layout":"no-sidebar-narrow","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"float","share_float_style":"share-normal","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","post_calculate_word_method":"str_word_count","show_zoom_button":"0","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_popup_post":"1","number_popup_post":"1","show_author_box":"1","show_post_related":"1","show_inline_post_related":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","disable_ad":"0"},"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>El Dorado County\u2019s Hidden Pay Raises: The Costly Expansion of Section 504 - Placerville NewsWire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"El Dorado County faces a $20 million deficit, yet Section 504 salary increases for non-sworn employees continue unchecked.
