MOTION TO TABLE by Legislator Headwell, Jr., seconded by Legislator Dimond, passed with Aye(9). (5/28/2019)
RESOLUTION VOTE, passed with Aye(8). Legislator Kelly voted Nay. (6/25/2019)
I. Nature of Request:
To amend the 2019 operating budget for the mandated salary increase for the District Attorney
II. Justification:
Under Judiciary Law §183-a, full-time district attorneys are to receive the same salary as the county judge of the county in which he/she serves.
Under legislation by the State of New York taking effect April 1, 2019, the county judge salary is fixed at 95% of a Supreme Court judge salary which is $210,900, meaning the county judge salary will be set at $200,400 effective April 1, 2019 thus making the district attorney's salary to be fixed at the same rate of $200,400
III. Legislative Impact:
Pursuant to Article 2 of the Charter, the Montgomery County Legislature has the power to make appropriations
IV. Financial Impact:
This salary increase will come from the County's Fund Balance as it is impossible to predict and budget for any State mandated increase in the district attorney's salary pursuant to Judiciary Law §183-a unless it is known in advance.
