Supplemental Memo regarding Adoption of Resolution Amending the Salary Schedule for Part- Time Classifications Effective June 2, 2024 to Reflect Changes to the City of Alameda Minimum Wage and to Maintain Adequate Differentials Between Part-Time Job Categories. (Human Resources 10025060)
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
This memo is being provided to supplement the staff report already published for the May 21, 2024 City Council meeting.
As presented in the staff report, City staff is recommending to amend the Salary Schedule for Part-Time classifications effective June 2, 2024, to accommodate changes required related to the increase in minimum wage in the City of Alameda effective July 1, and to increase certain other rates to remain competitive in the marketplace. Since submission of this recommendation the General Manager – Alameda Municipal Power (GM - AMP) has resigned with an effective date of May 23, 2024. In the search for an interim GM – AMP, the City has found that in order to find a qualified candidate with the required skill and knowledge for this important position an amendment to the part-time salary schedule is required to add additional steps to the Administrative Specialist III classification to provide adequate salary for an interim GM - AMP.
Special skill and knowledge are required for the position due to the specialized nature of AMP.
The most effective way to bring a qualified Interim GM - AMP on board is to hire a qualified CalPERS retired annuitant candidate into a part-time classification; however, none of the current classifications can be compensated in the range of the GM – AMP position, a requirement for appointing a CalPERS retired annuitant. As a result, to hire a qualified Interim GM - AMP staff recommends adding two steps to the Part-Time Administrative Specialist III classification to compensate an Interim GM - AMP: (1) adding Step 9 to the Part-Time classification Administrative Specialist III at $144.57 per hour equivalent to the current GM - AMP’s hourly rate, effective May 22, 2024, and (2) adding Step 10 at $176.83 per hour equivalent to the GM - AMP salary proposed to be effective June 5, 2024 after the City Council considers a change to the salary for the permanent GM - AMP position on June 4, 2024.
Please find attached the amended salary schedule and a new resolution which includes both the previously recommended changes related to the minimum wage and the additional proposed changes to the Administrative Specialist III position described above.
Respectfully submitted,
Jessica Romeo, Human Resources Director
