Sec. 16-125. Transmittal, review, and approval of Classification, Salary, and Executive Pay Plans

Pursuant to Section 903 of Article IX of County Charter, the County's Classification and Salary Plans, and/or any proposed amendments thereto, shall be transmitted by the County Executive to the County Council for legislative action thereon. The Classification Plan and/or any proposed amendments thereto shall be transmitted in bill form. The Salary Plan and/or any proposed amendments thereto shall be transmitted in resolution form.

Upon the initial receipt of the Classification or Salary Plans and/or any proposed amendments thereto from the County Executive, the County Council shall transmit copies thereof to the County Personnel Board for the Board's comments and recommendations thereon, if any.

The County Council may amend all or any part of the Classification or Salary Plans and/or any proposed amendments thereto, except for the addition of items thereto governing employees in the Executive Branch, prior to taking final legislative action thereon pursuant to Section 317 of Article III of County Charter. However, the Salary Plan and/or any proposed amendments thereto shall stand approved if the County Council fails to take final legislative action thereon within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of transmittal thereof by the County Executive.

The procedures stipulated in Subsections (a) and (c) of this Section as applicable to the transmittal, review, and approval of the Salary and Classification Plans and/or proposed pay amendments thereto, shall be similarly applicable to the transmittal, review, and approval of the County's Executive Pay Plan and/or any proposed amendments thereto.
