Executive Summary
Background
In January and February 2026, Consultants with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. conducted a comprehensive Total Compensation Study for the City of Imperial (“City”). All compensation findings and recommendations are presented in this report.

This compensation review process was precipitated by:
• The concern of the City Council and management that employees should be recognized for the level and scope of work performed and that they are paid on a fair and competitive basis that allows the City to recruit and retain a high-quality staff;
• The desire to have a compensation plan that can meet the needs of the City; and • The desire to ensure internal relationships of salaries are based upon objective, non-quantitative evaluation factors, resulting in equity across the City.

The goals of the compensation study are to assist the City in developing a competitive pay and benefit plan, which is based upon market data, and to ensure the plan is fiscally responsible and meets the needs of the City with regards to recruitment and retention of qualified staff.

Summary of Findings
This report summarizes the study methodology, analytical tools, and the total compensation (salary and benefits) survey findings. The results of the total compensation study showed:
• The City’s base salaries, overall, in comparison to the market median are 9.87% below the market. • The City’s total compensation, overall, in comparison to the market median is 3.76% below the market. • The City’s benefits package puts the City in a more competitive position (+6.11%) compared to the market and, therefore, salary decisions should be based on total compensation versus base salary market results. • Gallagher considers a classification falling within 5.0% of the median to be competitive.

Study Process
Benchmark Classifications
The study included 54 benchmark classifications selected in order to collect salary and benefits data within the defined labor market. Classifications that we would expect to provide a sufficient sample for analysis were selected as “benchmarks” to use as the basis to build the compensation plan. Benchmark classifications are those classifications that are compared to the market, and these classifications are used as a means of anchoring the City’s overall compensation plan to the market. Other classifications not surveyed will be included in the compensation plan and aligned to the benchmark classifications using internal equity principles.

Comparator Agencies
Another important step in conducting a market salary study is the determination of appropriate agencies for comparison. In developing the list of potential comparator agencies, Gallagher recommended the use of (10) agencies within the local region which were utilized as the labor market by the City in a 2024 total compensation study to retain continuity between studies. Comparator agencies were selected based on the following factors:

1. Organizational type and structure – It is generally recommended that agencies of a similar size and providing similar services to the City be used as comparators.

When it comes to technical classes, the size of an organization is not as critical, as these classes perform fairly similar work. The difference in size of an organization becomes more important when comparing classes at the management level. The scope of work and responsibility for management becomes much larger as an organization grows. Factors such as management of a large staff, consequence of error, the political nature of the job, and its visibility all grow with larger organizations. When it is difficult to find agencies that are similarly sized, it is important to get a good balance of smaller and larger agencies.

2. Similarity of population, staff, and operational budgets – These elements provide guidelines in relation to resources required (staff and funding) and available for the provision of services.

3. Scope of services provided – For the majority of classifications, it is important to select agencies providing similar services. Organizations providing the same services are ideal for comparators and most comparator agencies surveyed provide similar services to the City.

4. Labor market and geographic location – Today’s labor market reality is that many agencies are in competition for the same pool of qualified employees because large portions of the workforce don’t live in the communities they serve, are accustomed to lengthy commutes, and are more likely to consider changing jobs in a larger geographic area than in the past. Furthermore, by selecting employers within a geographic proximity to the City, the resulting labor market data generally reflects the region’s cost of living, housing costs, growth rate, and other demographic characteristics to the same extent as competing employers to the City. Therefore, the geographic labor market area where the City may be recruiting from or losing employees to, was taken into consideration when selecting comparator organizations. © 2026 Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. 7
All factors mentioned should be considered in selecting the group of comparator agencies.

Salary and Benefits Data
The last element requiring discussion prior to beginning a market survey is the specific benefit data that will be collected and analyzed. The following salary and benefits data was collected for each benchmark classification (the cost of these benefits to each agency was converted into dollar amounts and can be found in Appendix II [Benefit Detail] of this report; these amounts were added to base salaries for total compensation purposes).

1. Monthly Base Salary
The top of the salary range and/or control point. All figures are presented on a monthly basis.

2. Employee Retirement
The retirement reflects the benefits offered to the majority of the employees:
• PERS Formula: The service retirement formula for each agency’s PEPRA plan. For agencies with retirement systems established under the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (“37 Act”). The only pension metric which differs from agency to agency for their PEPRA plans would be when employees are required to contribute towards the employer’s pension costs (aka “Cost Sharing”) which is reported as a negative value to total compensation.
• Social Security: If an employer participates in Social Security, then the employer contribution of 6.2% of the base salary up to the federally-determined maximum contribution of $953.25 per month was reported in 2026.
• Other: Any other retirement contributions made by the employer.

3. Deferred Compensation
Deferred compensation contributions provided to all employees of a classification with or without requiring the employee to make a contribution is reported.

4. Insurances
The employer paid premiums for an employee with family coverage was reported. The employer paid insurances included:
• Cafeteria/Flexible Benefit Plan
© 2026 Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. 8
• Medical
• Dental
• Vision
• Other
All of the benefit elements are negotiated benefits provided to all employees in the classification. As such, they represent an ongoing cost for which an agency must budget. Other monetary benefits collected, that were not included in the total compensation calculation, were Paid Time Off, Auto Allowance, Educational Incentive Pay, Bilingual Pay, Call Back Pay, Certification Pay, and Stand-By Pay. This information was provided to the City as qualitative data.

Data Collection
Data was collected during the months of January and February 2026, through comparator agency websites, conversations with human resources, accounting, and/or finance personnel, and careful review of agency documentation such as classification descriptions, memoranda of understanding, organization charts, and other documents.

Matching Methodology
Gallagher believes the data collection step is the most critical for maintaining the overall credibility of any study and relied on the City’s classification descriptions as the foundation for comparison.

When Gallagher researches and collects data from the comparator agencies to identify possible matches for each of the benchmark classifications, there is an assumption that comparable matches may not be made that are 100% equivalent to the classifications at the City. Therefore, Gallagher does not match based upon job titles, which can often be misleading, but rather analyzes class descriptions before a comparable match is determined.

Gallagher’s methodology is to analyze each class description and the whole position by evaluating factors such as:
• Definition and typical job functions;
• Distinguishing characteristics;
• Level within a class series (i.e., entry, experienced, journey, specialist, lead, etc.); • Reporting relationship structure (for example, manages through lower-level staff); • Education and experience requirements;
• Knowledge, abilities, and skills required to perform the work; • The scope and complexity of the work;
• Independence of action/responsibility;
• The authority delegated to make decisions and take action; • The responsibility for the work of others, program administration, and for budget dollars; • Problem solving/ingenuity;
• Contacts with others (both inside and outside of the organization); • Consequences of action and decisions; and
• Working conditions.

In order for a match to be included, Gallagher requires that a classification’s “likeness” be at approximately 70% of the matched classification.
© 2026 Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. 9
When an appropriate match is not identified for one classification, Gallagher often uses “hybrids” which can be functional or represent a span in scope of responsibility. A functional hybrid means that the job of one classification at the City is performed by two or more classifications at a comparator agency. A “hybrid” representing a span in scope means that the comparator agency has one class that is “bigger” in scope and responsibility and one class that is “smaller,” where the City’s class falls in the middle.

If an appropriate match could not be found, then no match was reported as a non-comparable (N/C).

Benchmark Compensation Report Data
For each individual benchmark classification, each tab in the Benchmark Compensation Report spreadsheet reflects the labor market’s monthly base salary and total compensation data (sorted by top value in each). The total compensation data includes benefit details provided as monthly equivalent values.

The average (mean) and median (midpoint) of the comparator agencies are reported. The % above or below that the City is compared to the average and median is also reported. The mean is the sum of the comparator agencies’ salaries/total compensation divided by the number of matches. The median is the midpoint of all data with 50% of data points below and 50% of data points above.

To calculate the mean and median, Gallagher requires a minimum of four (4) comparator agencies with a matching classification to the benchmark classification. The reason for requiring a minimum of four matches is to ensure that no one classification has undue influence on the calculations. Sufficient data was collected from the comparator agencies for 41 of the established classifications as well as the single proposed classification out of the 54 benchmark classifications.

When using survey data to make salary range recommendations and adjustments, Gallagher recommends using the median, rather than the mean, because the median is not skewed by extremely high or low salary values.

Market Compensation Findings
The following table represents a summary of the market top monthly (base) salary and total compensation (base salary plus retirement and insurance values) findings. For each benchmark classification, the number of matches (agencies with a comparable position) and percent above or below the top monthly salary market median and total compensation market median is listed. The table is sorted by top monthly salary in descending order from the most positive percentile (above market) to the most negative (below market). Additionally, 12 benchmarks had an insufficient number of matches in the labor market to yield statistically significant results.

Generally, a classification falling within 5.0% of the median is considered to be competitive in the labor market for salary survey purposes because of the differences in compensation policy, actual scope of work, and position requirements. However, the City can adopt a different standard.

Overall, the differences between market-based salaries and total compensation indicate that the City’s benefits package puts the City at a slightly more competitive advantage. Further analysis indicates that, on average, classifications are 9.87% below the market median for base salaries, while that figure changes to 3.76% below the market median for total compensation, which is a 6.11% difference (i.e., the City “gains” a 6.11% competitive advantage when taking benefits into consideration).

Benefits
Health Insurance: Market data indicates the average monthly employer contribution toward health insurance premiums is $2,426, excluding the City. The City’s current FY 2025/2026 monthly contribution of $2,423 is $3 less than, or 0.24% below, the market average, which is not statistically significant. Table 5 below summarizes comparator agency health insurance contributions as well as the City’s contribution.

Table 5. Average Monthly Employer Health Insurance Contributions Retirement: The City participates in both CalPERS and Social Security. Among the comparators, only three (3) other agencies also participate in CalPERS and Social Security. Of the remaining agencies, five (5) participate in CalPERS but not Social Security, one (1) participates in Social Security only, and one (1) participates in a 1937 Act plan but not Social Security.

Internal Salary Relationships
Building from the salary levels established for identified benchmark classes, internal salary relationships were developed and consistently applied in order to develop specific salary recommendations for all non-benchmarked classifications.

In the future, the City may need to utilize internal alignment practices if the number of staff grows and additional classifications are added or classifications change. While analyzing internal relationships, the same factors analyzed when comparing the City’s classifications to the labor market are used when making internal salary alignment recommendations.

In addition, the following are standard human resources practices that are commonly applied when making salary recommendations based upon internal relationships:
• A salary within 5.0% of the market average or median is considered to be competitive in the labor market for salary survey purposes because of the differences in compensation policy and actual scope of the position and its requirements. However, the City can adopt a closer standard. • Certain internal percentages are often applied. Those that are the most common are:
− The differential between a trainee and experienced (or journey) class in a series (I/II or Trainee/Experienced) is generally 10% to 15%;
− A lead or advanced journey-level (III or Senior-level) class is generally placed 10% to 15% above the journeylevel. − A full supervisory class is normally placed at least 10% to 25% above the highest level supervised, depending upon the breadth and scope of supervision.
• When a market or internal equity adjustment is granted to one class in a series, the other classes in the series are also adjusted accordingly to maintain internal equity.

Internal equity between certain levels of classifications is a fundamental factor to be considered when making salary decisions. When conducting a market compensation survey, results can often show that certain classifications that are aligned with each other are not the same in the outside labor market. However, as an organization, careful consideration should be given to these alignments because they represent internal value of classifications within job families, as well as across the organization.

For the purposes of this study, Gallagher utilized market data to develop the salary recommendations for 42 of the benchmarked classifications and used internal equity principles to make the salary recommendations for 12 benchmarks with insufficient matches in the labor market as well as 62 City classifications that were not benchmarked. For the non-benchmarked and insufficiently matched classifications, internal alignments with other classifications will need to be considered, either in the same class series or those classifications that have similar scope of work, level of responsibility, and “worth” to the City. Where it is difficult to ascertain internal relationships due to unique qualifications and responsibilities, reliance can be placed on past internal relationships. It is important for City management to carefully review these internal relationships and determine if they are still appropriate given the current market data.

It is also important to analyze market data and internal relationships within class series as well as across the organization, and make adjustments to salary range placements, as necessary, based on the needs of the organization.

The City may want to make internal equity adjustments or alignments, as it implements the compensation strategy.

This market survey is only a tool to be used by the City to determine market indexing and salary determination. © 2026 Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. 14

The City has many options regarding what type of compensation plan it wants to implement. This decision will be based on what the City’s pay philosophy is, at which level it desires to pay its employees compared to the market, whether it is going to consider additional alternative compensation programs, and how great the competition is with other agencies over recruitment of a highly qualified workforce.

Proposed Salary Structure
Currently, the City has a salary structure with ranges that are approximately 2.5% apart from one another. Each salary range has seven steps with 5.0% between each step. It is recommended that the City maintain a similar salary structure. Appendix III contains the current salary range structure.

The salary range structure connects all salary ranges, and their steps, by formula, thereby allowing for COLAs to be applied to only one-dollar figure in the table/matrix, which then automatically updates the entire table. Due to the formula that connects each range to the next (with 2.5% differentials between each range), there is a compounding effect when drawing relationships that span several ranges. For example, with 2.5% differentials between ranges, four ranges should represent a 10% differential. However, because the compounding effect of 2.5%, on top of 2.5%, on top of 2.5%, and so on, the differential between Range 1 and Range 5 is not exactly 10%, but it is slightly greater.

Proposed Salary Range Placements
Appendix IV illustrates the proposed salary range placement for each classification based on the market data as well as the internal relationship analysis. The recommendations are based on total compensation market results. The following calculation was used:

1. Multiplied the City’s current top monthly salary by the percentage difference between the City’s total compensation and the total compensation market median to calculate the Market Placement Salary.

2. The classification was then placed within the proposed salary range with a Step 7 dollar amount closest to the Market Placement Salary.

Gallagher also modified the current internal alignment in certain instances where it seemed warranted based on market-supported groupings and/or compaction issues.

For all classifications, this primary implementation procedure must be completed only at the initial time of implementation. In the future, if the City decides to implement annual across-the-board cost of living adjustment increases, only the salary schedule that was developed and included herein needs to be increased by the appropriate percentage, and each individual salary range will move up with this adjustment. This will ensure the internal salary relationships are preserved, and the salary schedule remains structured and easily administered.

Options for Implementation
While the City may be interested in bringing all salaries to the market median, in most cases this goal may not be reached with a single adjustment. In this case, one option is to move employees into the salary range that is recommended for each class based on this market study and to the step within the new range that is closest to their current compensation. If employees’ current salaries are significantly below market so that their current compensation falls below the bottom of the newly recommended range, then larger adjustments would be needed to move those employees at least to the bottom of the new salary range. © 2026 Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. 15
Another option is to use a phased implementation approach. Normally, if the compensation implementation program must be carried over months or years, the classes that are farthest from the market median should receive the greatest equity increase (separate from any cost-of-living increase). If a class falls within 5% of the market median, it would be logical to make no equity adjustment in the first round of changes. However, if a class is more than 5% (or in this case, more than 20%) below the market median, a higher percentage change may be initially warranted to reduce the disparity.

The City may spend additional time to go through a process of deliberation and decision-making as to what compensation philosophy it should implement to attract, motivate, and retain a high-quality workforce. However, the City may want to consider adjusting those classifications’ salaries that are currently below the market median as soon as possible, assuming that incumbents’ performance meets the City’s level of expectation.

When classifications are over market, Gallagher typically recommends Y-rating employees whose current pay exceeds the maximum of the recommended range until the market numbers “catch up” with their current salary. To Y-rate an employee means to keep the employee’s salary frozen and to provide no salary increases (including no cost-of-living adjustments) until the employee’s current salary is within the recommended salary range. This will result in no immediate loss of income but will delay any future increases until the incumbent’s salary is within the salary range.

Other options to “freezing” a classification’s salary in place until the market catches up are:
• “Grandfathering” of salary ranges: This means the salary range for the classification is adjusted down to what the market numbers are. However, current incumbents would continue being paid at the current rate of pay (which would put them outside of the new and adjusted salary range for the class) until they separate from employment with the City. Any new-hires would be paid within the newly established salary range. • Single-incumbent classes: If a class only has one incumbent, an option would be to wait until the person separates from employment with the City and then adjust the salary range for the class according to the market. • Recent hires: Some employees who have recently been hired may still be at one of the lower steps within their current salary range. So, even if the top of their current salary range is above market, the incumbents are currently still paid below the market maximum because they are not at the top of their current salary range. In this case, an immediate salary range adjustment could be made to bring the salary range within the market. This would bring the affected incumbents either to the top of the market range or very close to it, but they would not technically be Y-rated or lose any pay.

Another option, of course, is to actually reduce salaries down to the market. However, from an employee relations perspective this may not be a viable option.

Using the Market Data as a Tool
Gallagher would like to reiterate that this report and the findings are meant to be a tool for the City to create and implement an equitable compensation plan. Compensation strategies are designed to attract and retain excellent staff; however, financial realities and the City’s expectations may also come into play when determining appropriate compensation philosophies and strategies. The collected data presented herein represents a market survey that will give the City an instrument to make future compensation decisions.

It has been a pleasure working with the City on this critical project. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can provide any additional information or clarification regarding this report. © 2026 Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. 16
