Adopt a Resolution Establishing Two New Classifications and Updating the Salaries of Nine Existing Classifications
December 16, 2024
As a result of the reviews above, Human Resources recommends establishing two new classifications and updating the salary control rate of nine existing classifications. The recommended salary control rates for all classifications were determined following an analysis of comparable classifications in the labor market and/or an analysis of internal alignment with comparable classifications within the City. All recommended changes are intended to support the City's ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel in a highly competitive labor market. These recommendations also provide standard differentials and alignments between the levels in the series. This action does not require any additional FTEs. Staff has conferred with the PMA, AFSCME, IBEW bargaining units and they are supportive of the proposed salary adjustments.
