BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Compensation Schedule and Authorized Departmental Position Count Civil Service Rule 1.02(A), which applies to the City’s classified positions, provides for necessary reviews and changes so that the City’s classi fication plan is kept current, and that changes in existing classes, the establishment of new classes or the abolition of classes are properly reflected in the classification plan.
At the request of the ir respective departments, Human Resources staff cond ucted classification reviews of the subject positions and determined that the permanent and ongoing duties and responsibilities assigned to these positions were outside the scope of their current classifications. As a result of the classification reviews, the Human Resources Department, in conjunction with the affected departments, is recommending the following position changes with corresponding updates to the authorized departmental position counts.
Department Position Title FTE
General Fund
Finance
Accounting Technician -1.00
Accountant 1.00
Public Works
Senior Parks Maintenance Worker -1.00
Equipment Operator 1.00
General Fund Total 0.00
Additionally, to address salary compaction between the Equipment Operator classification and the immediate firs t-line supervisor, Pa rks Supervisor, staff is recommending a salary adjustment effective February 20, 2026, for Parks Supervisor as noted below:
Position Title Employee Group E Step (Maximum) Salary
Parks Supervisor ACE $4,234.35 bi-weekly
Adoption of Resolution A will amend the Compensation Schedule to reflect a salary adjustment for Parks Supervisor and amend the authorized position count in the Finance and Public Works Departments to reflect the above changes.
Compensation Schedule Requirement
California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 requires that, for purposes of determining a retiring employee's pension allowance, the pay rate be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that meets certain requirements, including approval by the City’s governing body in accordance with the requirements of applicable public meeting laws. The revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule ("Compensation Schedule") was last approved by the City Council at their meeting on January 20, 2026.

Adoption of Resolution B will approve the revised Fiscal Year 2025 -26 Compensation Schedule effective February 20, 2026 (Attachment 1), reflecting the adjusted salary for the Parks Supervisor position title.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The current-year General Fund fiscal impact for the positions changes is estimated to total approximately $2,740 in Personnel Services in the Finance Department and $ 25,302 in Personnel Services in the Public Works Department; both increases are anticipated to be absorbed within the current year’s appropriations of the respective departments, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The projected fiscal year 2026-27 net impact to the General Fund is estimated to total $89,253 as reflected in the table below:
Fund Personnel Services Revenue Net Impact
General Fund $ 89,253 $ - $ 89,253 TOTAL EST. IMPACT FOR ALL FUNDS $ 89,253 $ - $ 89,253
These expenditures will be included in the annual budget development process in future years.
