Honorable Mayor and City Council

June 12, 2023
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF SALARY RESOLUTION FOR EXECUTIVE
MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the proposed action herein is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption); and
2. Adopt the Executive Management Salary Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council establishes by resolution the salaries and benefits for classifications that are not represented by an employee association or union. The City Council may adopt salary resolutions as necessary to adjust wages, benefits and working conditions for non-represented employees. The non-represented employee resolutions are typically reviewed once annually.
As part of the annual review of the non-represented employee salary resolutions, staff has updated the Executive Management salary resolution to include a 3% across-the board salary increase as well as an additional increase to two public safety classifications to preserve internal alignment and maintain parity with comparable classifications in represented safety groups.
The changes to the executive management resolution are summarized as follows:
Executive Management:
1. Salary Increases:
