§ 2.48.180. Prevailing wage.
In fixing compensation to be paid to persons in the county's employ, the board of supervisors and every other authority authorized to fix salaries or wages, shall provide a percentage change in compensation at least equal to the percentage change in compensation for the same quality of service rendered to persons, governmental agencies, firms or corporations under similar employment.
Prevailing salaries or wages shall be determined by negotiations between the county's employer representatives and the recognized employee organization(s).
In case such prevailing salaries or wages cannot be agreed to by parties, the matter may be submitted to a mutually selected arbitrator who shall make advisory recommendations to the negotiation parties.
