Title: Approve a Resolution Adopting an Updated City-Wide Salary Schedule RECOMMENDATION:
To adopt a resolution approving city-wide publicly available pay schedules in compliance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Sections 570.5, 571, 571.1 This resolution will supersede all previous resolutions regarding job classifications and compensation levels to the extent they conflict with this new recommendation.
BACKGROUND:
The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) requires all public agencies to establish and maintain publicly available pay schedules for all positions. This requirement is outlined in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 2, Sections 570.5, and 571.1.
The City's commitment to transparent and compliant compensation practices requires regular review and updates of our publicly available pay schedules. This resolution addresses multiple regulatory requirements and operational needs while ensuring continued organizational effectiveness.
