BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
From time to time, CalPERS provides clarification to the City on its policies and procedures to ensure that the City and CalPERS are communicating effectively about employees’ salaries and retirement benefits. Recently, CalPERS conducted an audit of the City and identified a few areas where the City could make revisions to its documentation, including adopted salary schedules.
The City has historically approved the City Manager’s salary and benefits through restated employment agreements presented and approved by the City Council. These approved employment agreements have been treated as the approved salary schedule for purposes of Government Code section 20636. While this City practice accurately reflected the City Manager’s agreed upon compensation at the time, the formatting that has been used does not conform to CalPERS current reporting requirements. CalPERS has since notified the City that the previously approved agreements do not meet their standards for documenting compensation in the required salary schedule format. In order to ensure compliance with CalPERS regulations and to maintain accuracy and transparency in the City’s compensation records, staff is recommending the approval of the Salary Schedule for the City Manager position, which identifies the amounts of the City Manager’s previously approved agreements into a formal salary schedule.
This action does not alter the agreement previously authorized by the City Council, but will only reorganize the compensation information into the format required by CalPERS for reporting and auditing purposes.
