RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution establishing the salary and benefits of unrepresented confidential employees for the period of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027; and
2. Adopt a resolution approving the Classification and Compensation Plan known as the Authorized Position Listing.
DISCUSSION
The City of Menifee has confidential unrepresented full-time employees in the City Executive Office, Finance, Human Resources, and Police Department who are not covered under an approved employee association Memorandum of Understandings (MOU). Employees serving in confidential job classifications are privy to decisions of the City Council or management affecting employer-employee relations, as such they are prohibited from being a part of a recognized labor organization.
It has been the City’s practice to provide confidential employees with the same salary and benefits afforded to the employees in their respective associations. The job classification family for the Executive Assistant and Technician classifications are tied to the General Unit benefits, Analyst classifications tied to the Professional Unit benefits, and Managers and Principal level classifications tied to the Mid-Management Unit benefits. The adoption of the proposed resolution would formalize the City’s current practice in establishing the salary and benefits provided to confidential employees. These classifications include the following:
1. City Executive Office
•Assistant to the City Manager
•Executive Assistant
•Management Analyst I/II
