After several meetings with County officials and debates over comparison agencies, salary surveys and the marketplace, Mono DSA obtained a favorable package for its members.  The agreed upon terms provide for a two-year contract with a 5% salary increase in year one, and a year two salary increase equal to the consumer price index plus 2% (expected to be between 5-6%).  Added to this salary increase was a significant increase in POST and Education Pay, increasing Intermediate POST Certificate Pay from 2.5% to 5% and Advanced POST Certificate Pay from 5% to 12.5%.  Uniform allowance was also increased from $780 to $1,000 per year.  On medical coverage, the County finally agreed to provide full medical coverage, eliminating the potential for deputies to have to be paying out of pocket when premium increases hit.
