TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
ATTENTION: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
FROM: Travis Sais, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to adopt Resolution No. 24-62 – A Resolution adjusting the salary range table for the two salary ranges impacted by the January 1, 2025 minimum wage increase.
Date: November 25, 2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On January 1, 2025, the minimum wage will increase from $16.00 to $16.50 per hour.
The proposed resolution authorizes the necessary adjustments to the current salary range table to ensure compliance with the minimum wage law. This includes adjusting two specific salary ranges to reflect the increased minimum wage. The City currently has two salary ranges that are tied to minimum wage. Range P54 is a single step range that is equal to the current minimum wage and increases automatically when minimum wage is increased. Range P123 is a five-step range with Step A equal to minimum wage and each consecutive step being 5% above the previous step. These two salary ranges will be updated to reflect the new minimum wage.
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 24-62; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to implement the proposed changes to the salary range table; or
3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated annual payroll cost increase including taxes is $5,300.

CITY OF BELLFLOWER
RESOLUTION NO. 24-62
A RESOLUTION ADJUSTING THE SALARY TABLE FOR THE TWO
RANGES IMPACTED BY THE JANUARY 1, 2025 MINIMUM WAGE
INCREASE
THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On January 1, 2025, the minimum wage will increase from $16.00 per hour to $16.50 per hour.
B. The City has two salary ranges that are impacted by the minimum wage increase and therefore needs to amend the salary table to adjust the two associated salary ranges. The amended salary table, showing the changes, is attached as Exhibit “A,” and incorporated by reference.
SECTION 2. Authorization/Action.
A. The City Council authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to implement the proposed changes to the salary table as reflected in the attached Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference. These changes are effective the first day of the payroll that includes January 1, 2025.
B. To the extent that any other resolution pertaining to the adjusted salary range conflicts with this Resolution, including Exhibit A, it is superseded.
SECTION 3. Preservation This resolution does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before, this Resolution’s effective date. Any such amended part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.
SECTION 4. Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.
SECTION 5. Reliance On Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 6. Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts were made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City’s ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
SECTION 7. Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record.
The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 8. Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.
SECTION 9. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.
SECTION 10. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to affix his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Bellflower, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest thereto.
SECTION 11. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.
