BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City’s Part-Time Salary Schedule includes approximately 31 part-time position classifications used for various City functions.
The City’s current part-time salary schedule became effective January 1, 2024, with a recommendation of a $16.00 minimum wage effective January 1, 2024.
The proposed part-time Salary Schedule 2025 (Attachment A) will ensure that the City complies with the State’s minimum wage requirements.
On August 1, 2024, the California Department of Finance Director Joe Stephenshaw officially certified the raise of the minimum wage from $16.00 to $16.50 for all employees regardless of employer size.
The City Manager recommends approval for a minimum wage that reaches $16.50 per hour, effective January 1, 2025, which is state-wide mandated.
The revised salary schedule includes adjusting salary ranges for eight part-time positions to comply with the minimum wage increase and four have been adjusted to address compaction as follows:

Staff estimates that the proposed changes to the part-time salary schedule will have minimal impact on the City’s operating budget. Budget trends show that departments typically are under budget or absorb additional costs within their operating budget for part-time, hourly positions. Part-time hourly positions are budgeted based on business needs and are allocated accordingly while minimum wage and hourly wages have continued to increase every year.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Minimum wage salary adjustment is consistent with State requirements; therefore, there is no alternative action provided.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Pacifica City Council 3
December 09, 2024
The recommended action is consistent with the following Council goal:
“A Strong City Workforce Infrastructure” includes strategies to address employee retention and attraction challenges, engaging staff in decision-making, and recognizing staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The budget impact of the proposed part-time salary schedule is anticipated to have a minimal impact on the City’s operating budget. The 2024-25 Adopted Budget provides adequate budget authority to allow each department to absorb state-wide required minimum wage increase.
