STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of July 23, 2024
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Dante Hall, City Manager
Edwin Gato, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Approve Pay and Benefit Plans for Executive, Mid-Management & Non-Represented Pay Plans RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council Adopt a Resolution Approving Pay and Benefit Plans for Executive, Mid-Management, and Non-Represented Employee Groups and authorize the City Manager to execute the Plans for a one-year term starting July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
Existing pay and benefit plans with executive, mid-management, and non-represented employee groups have terms that end June 30, 2024. The City has been engaged in a consultation process with the executive, mid-management, and non-represented employee groups. The City Council has directed the City Manager, serving as the City’s labor negotiator, in closed sessions. Consultations with the executive, mid-management, and non-represented employee groups have been completed; proceeding with the revisions to the Pay Plans for the executive, mid-management, and unrepresented groups is timely. A summary of the changes proposed by the employee groups is set forth below:
This recommendation aligns with the City’s goals of a balanced budget and continued fiscal prudence while also continuing to align the City as a competitive employer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of these new labor-related items will result in costs, both ongoing and one-time. The proposed Pay and Benefit Plans cover one year. The costs for the employees covered through these approvals are illustrated below.
The adopted FY 24-25 Budget provides an amount for both ongoing and one-time costs of 3% Ongoing and 2% One-time Retention Bonus. Available ongoing and one-time monies are sufficient for FY 2024-25 to meet the obligations. The table below breaks out the costs of the proposed increase, and the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increases are included in the adopted FY 2024-25 Annual Budget:
