Following the Personnel Commission meeting, staff revised the proposed salary for the Capital Program and Enterprise Funds Manager classification. The updated salary reflected in this report, will be presented as an informational item to the Personnel Commission as its next regularly scheduled meeting on December 10, 2026.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
ACCOUNT CLERK (C300) & ACCOUNT CLERK – PART-TIME (C301): The City has two Account Clerk classifications with different job codes. Negotiated cost-of-living adjustments and equity increases were applied to the part-time classification in the payroll system but were not reflected in the Salary Plan for the full-time classification. The Salary Plan is being updated to align the salaries for both classifications and to add the part-time classification to the Salary Plan. The salary range for Account Clerk (C300) & Account Clerk – Part-Time is $36.55 at Step A and $43.92 at Step E. This change is administrative to ensure documents match and does not have a fiscal impact or change the salaries of current employees.
CAPITAL PROGRAM AND ENTERPRISE FUNDS MANAGER (H885): The new Capital Program and Enterprise Funds Manager will assist with planning, organizing, directing, and coordinating business services activities within the Public Works and Utilities Department. At creation the salary for this classification will be internally set to be equivalent to Principal Civil Engineer (H242). The salary range for the Capital Program and Enterprise Funds Manager is $87.09 at Step A and $105.85 at Step E.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item is a routine operational item and does not relate to one of the City Council’s Strategic Roadmap initiatives.
NEXT STEPS
This salary plan will be implemented by the Human Resources and Finance Departments and will be reflected in the employees’ paychecks dated October 23, 2026 with retroactive payments to follow.
