STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Agenda Item
DATE: June 6, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Siana L. Emmons, City Clerk/Human Resources Manager THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of the Full and Part Time Classification and Pay Rate Schedules for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Resolution 2022-19 and Resolution 2022-20 STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Classification and Pay Rate Schedule for full and part time employees by adopting Resolution 2022-19 and Resolution 2022-20.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In 2021, the City completed negotiations with the Fortuna Police Employees Association (FPEA) and Fortuna Employees Association (FEA). Both bargaining units and the City, agreed to individual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) consisting of two-year terms. The FPEA received a 10% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for the first year, which was implemented April 1, 2022. The costs were appropriated into the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget and are reflected in the FY 2021-22 Full-time Pay Rate Schedule for safety employees. There is no additional COLA for the second year, so there is no adjustment to the FY 2022-23 Full-time Pay Rate Schedule, for safety employees, at this time.
The FEA’s MOU provided an 8% COLA the first year, which was implemented on April 1, 2022, appropriated into the FY 2021-22 Budget and reflected in the FY 21-22 Full-time Pay Rate Schedule for all miscellaneous and unrepresented employees and included here as Attachment A to Resolution 2022-19.
Other proposed changes to the FY 2022-23 Full-time Pay Rate Schedule were discussed at a previous Special Council Meeting and are outlined below:
Eliminate Account Clerk III Add Accounting Technician (F25) Eliminate Senior Account Clerk Add Finance Office Supervisor (F27) Reclassify City Clerk/Human Resources
Manager
Add (F59)
Eliminate 2 Frozen Streets Maintenance I
Eliminate 1 Streets Maintenance I
Add Streets Maintenance II (F20)
Business Agenda Item 5b
Also, as discussed previously at a special Council workshop, part time employees will receive an 8% COLA, beginning July 1, 2022, which will meet the requirements for the minimum wage increase to $15.50/hour beginning January 1, 2023. This increase is reflected in the FY 2022-23 Part-time Pay Rate Schedule and is included here as Attachment A to Resolution 2022-20.
