AGREEMENT FOR CITY CLERK
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. Approve a fourth amendment to the employment agreement for City Clerk Mark Jomsky to provide an increase to salary and the classification's salary control rate. It is further recommended that the Mayor be authorized to sign the fourth amendment to the employment agreement to reflect City Council-approved changes.
BACKGROUND:
On April 23, 2018, the City entered into an employment agreement (Contract No. 22,943) with Mark Jomsky as City Clerk. The employment agreement has been modified three times on April 8, 2019 (Contract No. 22,943-1), Decembers, 2021 (Contract No. 22,943-2) and November 21, 2022 (Contract No. 22,943-3).
As a result of the City Clerk's recently completed performance evaluation covering 2022-2023, the Council recommends approving the attached fourth contract amendment (Contract No. 22,943-4) for Mark Jomsky with the following modifications:
1. Compensation/Salary - Effective June 19, 2023, the City Clerk will be paid a base annual salary of $239,846 representing a 3% general wage increase, and the salary control rate for the City Clerk classification shall also be $239,846.
This aligns with the effective date and salary increase other non-represented employees received as part of the non-represented Salary Resolutions.
