SUBJECT:   Items Requiring Consent Agenda Approval June 12, 2025

 

BACKGROUND:

The 2024 VAB established an hourly pay rate of $155 for all Special Magistrates appointed to serve Orange County. In order to recruit and retain talent, staff recommends maintaining the current competitive rate.

The 2024 VAB approved a minimum two-hour guarantee for magistrates residing within a 60-mile radius of Orange County. Any magistrate residing outside a 60-mile radius of Orange County was guaranteed a four-hour minimum. The minimum guarantee applied as follows:

1. The petitioner does not show for the hearing(s)

2. The assigned petition is withdrawn disallowing the VAB Clerk ample time to notify the Special Magistrate

3. The VAB Clerk reschedules the hearing for good-cause
