TITLE: Revised Salary Plan for Hourly Employees
for Fiscal Year 2023-24
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Amend the City of Mountain View’s Salary Plan for Hourly Employees to Ensure All Classifications Reflect Mountain View's Minimum Wage, to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 to the Council report).
BACKGROUND
Government Code Sections 20636 and 7522.34 and California Code of Regulations Sections 570.5 and 571.1 require that the City’s pay rates be reported pursuant to a publicly available pay schedule that has been duly approved and adopte d by the employer , in accordance with applicable public meeting laws.
On November 10, 2015, the City Council adopted an ordinance increasing the Citywide minimum wage in Mountain View to $15 per hour by 2018. Beginning January 1, 2019, and annually thereafter, the City will adjust the minimum wage based on the regional Consumer Price Index.
ANALYSIS
Beginning January 1, 2024, the minimum wage in Mountain View will increase to $18.75 per hour, as set forth by the Mountain View Minimum Wage Ordinance. There is currently one classification on the Salary Plan for Hourly Employees that has a pay rate lower than $18.75. To remain in compliance with the ordinance, the City is updating the Salary Plan for H ourly Employees to increase the one hourly rate currently under $18.75 to meet the minimum wage requirement. The revised salary plan will go into effect the pay period including January 1, 2024 and is included as Exhibit A to the Resolution.

ALTERNATIVES
Given the City and State legal requirements , the only alternative would be to d irect staff to provide additional information.
