TITLE
ADOPT BY TITLE ONLY RESOLUTION NO. CC-2604-017, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE PART-TIME
EMPLOYMENT POLICY AND PAY PLAN FOR PART-TIME EMPLOYEES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City currently maintains a Part-Time Employment Policy and Pay Plan for various hourly and temporary classifications employed by the City. Classifications included in the Plan range from Crossing Guard and Recreation Leader to Program Coordinator and Project Manager. The Plan was last updated in December 2025 based on an adjustment to the California State minimum wage, which increased to $16.90 per hour on January 1, 2026 and affected approximately six job classifications.
One of the classifications in the Part-Time Employment Policy and Pay Plan is an hourly Project Manager job classification, which is designed to provide the City with flexibility to occasionally employ professionals that are available to assist City management with accomplishing various strategic objectives, as well as assisting with capital or other large projects. Currently, the existing hourly rate for this classification ranges from $40 per hour to $100 per hour. In order to reflect current market conditions and be able to attract top quality talent, staff is proposing an adjustment to the top end of this hourly range, to a maximum rate of $130 per hour.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached updated Part-Time Employment Policy and Pay Plan reflecting the change to the Project Manager classification.

In order to reflect current market conditions and continue to be able to attract talented professionals, staff is proposing an adjustment to the top end of this hourly range, to a maximum of $130 per hour.
