A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 21052 AND THE MASTER FRINGE BENEFITS AND SALARY PLAN TO RETROACTIVELY APPROVE UPDATED SALARY SCHEDULES FROM 2019 THROUGH 2025 FOR IMPACTED UNREPRESENTED CLASSIFICATIONS TO COMPLY WITH CALPERS SALARY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS PER CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS SECTION 570.5; APPROVE CHANGES TO UNREPRESENTED CLASSIFICATIONS’ BARGAINING GROUP; AND APPROVE CHANGES TO THE FIRE CHIEF BENEFITS TO CONTINUE PARTICIPATION IN THE FIRE UNION RETIREMENT MEDICAL TRUST FUND.
WHEREAS, on October 4, 2005, Resolution No. 21052 was adopted by the City Council thereby adopting the Master Fringe Benefits and Salary Plan (“FBSP”); and WHEREAS, the FBSP includes the fringe benefits and salary plans for City employees; and WHEREAS, the FBSP has been amended several times to update the benefits and salaries; and WHEREAS, upon recent review of the City’s Publicly Available Pay Schedule by CalPERS, CalPERS determined that the current structure of the salary ranges for Unrepresented classifications that have an associated merit-based salary range was not in compliance with California Code of Regulations Section 570.5; and WHEREAS, the City and CalPERS met to discuss a resolution to implement the City’s historical intention to make merit-based salary range pay CalPERS reportable for each position/title assigned to the merit salary range; and WHEREAS, CalPERS provided guidance and direction to the City to meet compliance requirements, which requires the City to further define the current salary range structure into one combined salary range with a defined minimum and maximum salary; and WHEREAS, the Job Code Table, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit “A,” provides the list of impacted Unrepresented classifications in the City’s salary plan for which the salary range will need to be adjusted to meet the CalPERS reporting requirements and also reflects the change in bargaining group from Management or Professional to the Senior Management Group; and WHEREAS, in addition to these adjustments, the City must also retroactively correct salary ranges for a number of Unrepresented classifications, dating back to 2019, to ensure recently retired employees’ pension benefits are accurately calculated to reflect their corresponding rate of pay, per California Code of Regulations Section 570.5, so the City has retained salary schedules for the preceding minimum of not less than five years; and WHEREAS, the following retroactive salary schedules are attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein:
Salary Schedule effective January 11, 2019;
Salary Schedule effective January 10, 2020;
Salary Schedule effective January 8, 2021;

WHEREAS, revisions to the Master Fringe Benefits and Salary Plan, Section 17(c) – Health Insurance for Retirees, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit “C,” are needed to extend and allow the Fire Chief to continue participation in retiree medical trust fund administered by the Riverside Fire Management Association; and / /
/ /
WHEREAS, all CalPERS items contained in the staff report for this item are administratively necessary to implement the City’s intent to report base salary as pensionable compensation; and WHEREAS, these changes do not result in any increase or change current or past salary and special compensation costs incurred by the City.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Riverside, as follows:
Section 1: Resolution No. 21052 and the Master Fringe Benefits and Salary Plan are hereby amended to 1) provide the list of impacted Unrepresented classifications in the City’s salary plan for which the salary range will need to be adjusted to meet the CalPERS reporting requirements and also reflect the change in bargaining group from Management or Professional to the Senior Management Group; 2) retroactively update the salary schedules from 2019 through 2025 for impacted Unrepresented classifications to comply with CalPERS salary reporting requirements per California Code of Regulations Section 570.5, so the City has retained salary schedules for the preceding minimum of not less than five years; and 3) approve changes to the Fire Chief benefits to allow continued participation in the Fire Union retirement medical fund, all as set forth in Exhibit “A,” Exhibit “B,” and Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
