To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Brenda Rodriguez, Community Services Director/Acting Human Resources Manager

ANALYSIS
A Classification Plan is the foundation of any municipal personnel management system. Job descriptions become the basis for orientation, training, performance evaluation, and recruitment. The City’s current Classification Plan was designed to provide a strong and understandable rationale for assigning individuals to classifications based on the assigned duties and responsibilities.
All positions remain unchanged from the current 2025-26 Classification plan.
New Addition: Accounting Technician 2
The Finance Department is urgently in need of an upper-level position with strong accounting and analytical skills to meet the increasing demands of the City’s financial operations, particularly in the area of capital improvement project (CIP) management. In fiscal year 2025- 26, CIP expenditures are projected to account for nearly half of the City's total budget, the majority of which are funded through grants and transportation-related revenues. Despite the critical nature of these funds, CIP budgets are currently not being adequately tracked or monitored.
As part of the implementation of the Tyler Technologies accounting software, the City purchased a Projects Module specifically designed to streamline project tracking and financial reporting. However, this module has yet to be implemented due to staffing limitations.
Deploying this system would significantly improve transparency and efficiency, allowing both the Finance and Public Works Departments to monitor project budgets and spending in real time.
The proposed position would not only facilitate the implementation and management of the Projects Module but would also be responsible for:
• Fixed asset accounting
• Grant receivables tracking and reconciliation
• Coordination with the Public Works Department on CIP projects • Assistance with CIP development and budget preparation • Quarterly and year-end financial reporting
Additionally, the Finance Department currently has three Accounting Technician I positions, most of whom are at the top of their pay scale. Establishing this new upper-level role would create a clear pathway for internal advancement, improving staff retention and providing critical support to senior financial staff.
This new position is essential to maintaining fiscal responsibility, ensuring compliance with “Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
9/16/2025 Page 3 of 3
grant requirements, and supporting the City's long-term infrastructure planning and financial sustainability.
CONCLUSION
Adoption of Resolution No. 25-52 will formally establish the position of Accounting Technician 2 to help the city adequately tracked or monitored CIP budgets and funding.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Not applicable.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact unless the position is filled. If and when the position is approved and staffed, the associated costs would be absorbed by capital project budgets, as the role directly supports capital improvement planning, implementation, and oversight.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of any individual employment agreement(s) shall control the compensation amounts described in this Salary Plan when determining the salary of individual employees under contract with the City.
Section 2. Basic Compensation Plan
The basic compensation plan for City officers and employees, as of the date of adoption of this Plan is hereby established as set forth in the Addendum, including the following:
1) Hourly Range Table
2) Association Range Table
3) Management/Confidential Range Table
4) Salary Schedule
The Salary Plan shall be referred to as the Salary Schedule which incorporates the allocation of ranges (defined in the range tables) to classifications, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Range tables for the Cudahy Municipal Employees’ Association include five (5) steps with approximately 5% between steps.
Range tables for Management/Confidential/Department Directors include five (5) steps with approximately 5% between steps.
Range tables for Hourly employees consist of one (1) to three (3) steps with approximately 5% between steps.
Range tables for City Council Member and City Manager have one step (flat rate).
Section 3. Pay Philosophy
The City Council establishes a pay philosophy that the base pay of all positions shall be ideally set at the median pay provided by comparable cities of similar size, budget, staff, and
34 4
geographic area, based on the City’s financial ability to pay. Merit increases provide for annual pay increases annually for demonstrated positive work performance as documented on annual performance evaluations. Annual merit increases should generally follow one step increase per year until the final step. Any increases beyond one must be approved by the City Manager.
Section 4. Plan Maintenance
Increases to the Range tables and applied to the Salary Schedule are adopted and approved by the City Council via Resolution to amend the Salary Plan.
Such recommended increases are negotiated between the City and the Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees’ Association. The City Council may further take appropriate action to extend such increases to unrepresented Management/Confidential Employees, Appointed Officials including the City Clerk, City Treasurer, and City Manager, and positions appointed by the City Manager. These actions help preserve appropriate compensation and prevent salary compression.
In addition to negotiated increases, the City may take steps to maintain the Salary Plan by conducting regularly scheduled salary reviews and/or intermittent salary reviews as determined by changes in the labor market, and the need to compete for talent and/or retain current employees.
Section 6. The Provisions of This Plan Shall Be Operative on the Date of Its Adoption.

To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Human Resources
By: Brenda Rodriguez, Community Services Director/Acting Human Resources Manager
Subject: Adoption of Proposed Resolution No.25-54, for the Update of Salary Schedules to Reflect City Manager Compensation Adjustments
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is Requested to Approve Resolution No. 25-54, for the Update of Salary Schedules to Reflect City Manager Compensation Adjustments.
BACKGROUND
On September 21, 2021 the City Council approved the City Manager’s Employment Agreement, which included provisions for annual cost-of-living adjustments and salary modifications tied to performance evaluations.
On July 2022 a COLA increase was made to the City manager’s salary per the City Manager’s Employment Agreement. Payroll records at the time were updated to reflect the correct salary.
However, the City’s adopted salary schedule resolution was not revised to reflect the approved adjustment.
On March 2023, the City Council conducted the City Manager’s annual evaluation and authorized a corresponding salary adjustment. Payroll records at the time were updated to reflect the correct salary. However, the City’s adopted salary schedule resolution was not revised to reflect the approved adjustment.
On September 17, 2024 the City Council conducted the City Manager’s annual evaluation and authorized a corresponding salary adjustment. Payroll records at the time were updated to reflect the correct salary. However, the City’s adopted salary schedule resolution was not revised to reflect the approved adjustment.

ANALYSIS
The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) utilizes the pay rates listed on the salary schedules to establish compensation earnable for purposes of determining retirement benefits. CalPERS requires that all pay rates be paid pursuant to a publicly available salary schedule approved by a member agency’s governing body to qualify as compensation earnable for purposes of retirement. Compensation reported to CalPERS may not exceed the maximum pay rate established in the publicly available salary schedule approved by the governing body.
CalPERS conducts final compensation reviews at the time of retirement where they review the eligibility of reported earnings in calculating the retiree’s final compensation. As part of a recent final compensation review for Alfonso Noyola, CalPERS determined that the payrate reported for Mr. Noyola exceeded the amount listed on the publicly available pay schedule.
Accordingly, CalPERS limited the payrates used in the calculation of Mr. Noyola’s retirement benefit to the amounts listed on the publicly available pay schedules.
In an effort to resolve this matter, staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution.
Salary schedules adopted by resolution serve as the City’s official record of compensation.
Although the City Manager’s pay has always been administered in accordance with his employment agreement, the resolutions from prior years do not accurately show the adjustments that were approved and implemented.
Updating the resolutions will not change the City Manager’s current or future compensation.
Instead, it ensures that historical records are corrected for consistency, compliance, and transparency. This action is important for audit purposes and record accuracy.

CONCLUSION
If approved, staff will file the corrected resolution to reflect the accurate salary schedules for the applicable past years. This will bring the City’s records into alignment with prior Council actions and payroll practices.
If not approved, the discrepancies in the City’s official records will remain, which could raise questions during audits or reviews even though there is no present-day financial impact.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Goal D: Financial Stability and Transparency
Goal F: Communication and Outreach
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact associated with this action. All adjustments to the City Manager’s salary were implemented in prior fiscal years, and no changes to current or future compensation will occur because of this action.

The selection of employees for an out-of-classification assignment shall be at the discretion of the City Manager or designee. A temporary out-of-class stipend of 5% above the employee’s base pay shall be authorized with advance approval by the Department Head, upon consultation and approval from the City Manager or designee when an employee is designated and scheduled to work in an out- of- class assignment. Paid holidays shall be considered as days actually worked. Other forms of authorized leave such as sick leave, emergency leave and vacation shall not be considered as days actually worked. 16 See CMEA MOU, p. 16. 17 See CMEA MOU, pp. 7. 18 See CMEA MOU, p. 7. 33 Section 12. Overtime
The City’s pay policy is intended to comply with the salary pay requirements of current State and Federal laws, and shall be construed in accordance with these laws and regulations. Further, the City shall administer the pay practices related to overtime consistent with the City’s personnel rules and the Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees’ Association MOU.
Non-exempt employees shall be paid for hours worked in accordance with all legal requirements. Overtime is calculated at one and one-half (1 ½) times the employee’s regular base rate of pay for all time worked over 40 hours in one workweek. Hours paid that are not actually worked, such as holidays, sick days, and vacation hours do not count as hours worked when calculating weekly overtime. a. Miscellaneous Employees – (Cudahy Miscellaneous Employee’s Association)19
1. For all workweeks in which there is no designated holiday that falls during the workweek or a day in which the employee is sent home due to an unexpected City closure, or by management due to lack of work or an act of God, the employee shall be eligible for overtime pay (time and one half the employee’s regular rate of pay as that term is used in the Fair Labor Standards Act) for time worked over 40 hours per workweek. In a workweek where there is a designated holiday that falls during the workweek or a day in which the employee is sent home due to an unexpected City closure, or by management due to lack of work or an act of God and is thus unable to work their regularly scheduled shift, and the employee has not taken any time off or leave during that same week (e.g. vacation, sick or other personal leave), the employee shall be eligible for overtime pay (time and one half) for time worked beyond the employee’s scheduled shift(s) during that workweek.
2. When an employee is not regularly scheduled to work on Saturdays and Sundays the employee shall receive overtime pay (time and one-half) for all time worked on those days.
When an employee works on a designated City holiday, the employee shall receive overtime pay (double time) for all time worked on the holiday.
Exempt employees are not entitled to receive overtime pay even though they may have to work hours beyond their normal schedule, as work demands require.
Section 13. Compensatory Time Off
a. Miscellaneous Employees – (Cudahy Miscellaneous Employee’s Association)20 The City’s pay policy is intended to comply with the salary pay requirements of current State and Federal laws, and shall be construed in accordance with these laws and regulations. Further, the City shall administer the pay practices related to Compensatory Time consistent with the City’s personnel rules and the Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees’ Association MOU. 19 CMEA MOU, pp. 13-14 20 CMEA MOU, p. 14-15.
33 Compensatory time is an alternative method of overtime payment to non-exempt employees. In lieu of paying a non-exempt employee for overtime worked, employees may be granted compensatory time off at the overtime rate of one and one half (1 ½) for each hour of overtime worked. Employees shall have the option of receiving overtime pay for any overtime worked. Use of earned compensatory time off must be approved in advance by the Department Head or designee. The maximum accrual limit is 120 hours.
Section 14. Executive Leave
Management/Confidential employees shall be entitled to take three (3) days (30 hours) of executive leave per fiscal year. The three (3) days (30 hours) may not be carried over to the next fiscal year and their use must have the prior permission of the City Manager.
