H.15 APPROVE AN UPDATED PAY AND BENEFITS PLAN FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND

• LETTER FROM RBPSA
December 16, 2025
RE: Item H.15. Updated Pay and Benefits Plan for the Management and Confidential Employee Group
Mayor and Councilmembers,
The RBPSA Executive Board would like to bring to your attention a few matters related to the proposed update for the Pay and Benefits Plan of the Management and Confidential Employee Group.
There are several positions in the Management and Confidential Employee Group that mirror positions in RBPSA. Specifically, the following:
• Executive Assistant to the City Manager
• Human Resources Analyst
• Senior Human Resources Analyst
Per Resolution No. 6046 which adopted rules and regulations for the administration of Employer-Employee Relations, a “Confidential” employee is defined as an employee who, in the course of their duties, has access to information related to the City’s administration of employer-employee relations. As such, the three positions above are categorized within the Management Confidential Group, even though their inherent job duties mirror positions in RBPSA, in particular:
• Executive Assistant to the Police Chief
• Executive Assistant to the City Prosecutor
• Administrative Analyst
• Senior Management Analyst
Regardless of employee group, it stands to reason that similar job specifications would warrant the same salary scale. However, the updated pay plan would place the Management Confidential positions in ranges 20% higher than equivalent positions in RBPSA, as highlighted below:
Mang/Conf Executive Assistant to City Manager $8,716/month PSA Executive Assistant to Police Chief $7,275/month
Mang/Conf Human Resources Analyst $10,774/month
PSA Administrative Analyst $8,923/month
Mang/Conf Senior Human Resources Analyst $11,509/month
PSA Senior Management Analyst $9,537/month
Further, PSA questions the placement of the Social Media Content Creator position into Management Confidential as the appropriate unit, as there does not seem to be any component of the job specification that is either managerial or confidential, as defined in Resolution No. 6046.
In light of the above, PSA would like to make City Council aware that in our contract negotiations this coming year, we will take all measures to ensure equity in salary ranges, and expect the City to make good on equal salary scales for the comparable PSA positions.
We also encourage City Council to direct Human Resources staff to conduct an update to the Ralph Andersen and Associates Compensation Study completed in 2023, in order to be better informed of Redondo Beach’s current standing in the public sector labor market.
