TO: City Council
FROM: Mayor Victor M. Gordo
SUBJECT: APPROVE A FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
FOR CITY CLERK
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the proposed action in the agenda report is not a "project" subject to the California Public Resources Code ("PRC") Section 21065 and within the meaning of California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines Section 15378(b); and
2. Approve a first amendment to the employment agreement for City Clerk Mark Jomsky to provide an increase to salary and the classification's salary control rate, change the Management Time Off bank to a soft cap, with maximum Management Time Off leave bank to be set at 120 hours, and update the evaluation cycle dates. It is further recommended that the Mayor be authorized to sign the first amendment to the employment agreement to reflect City Council- approved changes.
BACKGROUND:
On November 25, 2024, the City entered into a new employment agreement (Contract No. 24,166) with Mark Jomsky as City Clerk. As a result of the City Clerk's recently completed performance evaluation covering 2024-2025, the Council recommends approving the attached first contract amendment (Contract No. 24,166-1) for Mark Jomsky with the following modifications:
1. Compensation/Salary - Effective July 14, 2025, the City Clerk will be paid a base annual salary of $280,508 representing a 3% general wage increase, and the salary control rate for the City Clerk classification shall also be $280,508. This aligns with the effective date and salary increase other non-represented employees received as part of the non-represented Salary Resolutions.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The approval of the amendment to the employment agreement for the City Clerk is estimated to have an overall FY 2026 fiscal impact of $46,000 which includes a one- time cost of $33,445. This position is budgeted to the General Fund (101), and the City Clerk Department's FY 2026 Operating Budget includes appropriations for anticipated wage increases.
