Issue Detail:
SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
On November 10, 2023, a Fire Investigator I Salary Schedule Reopener was executed with Sacramento Area Fire Fighters, Local 522 (Attachment 2). This agreement establishes a 42-hour pay schedule which requires an update to the salary schedule as the classification now works 2184 hours per year instead of the prior 2080 hours per year. Employees in this classification will work a rotating schedule of one twenty-four (24) hour shift followed by three (3) consecutive 24-hour days off-duty.
SALARY SCHEDULE
File ID: 2024-01374 8/20/2024 Consent Item 3.
The California Code of Regulations requires that the City Council adopt the City’s Salary Schedule at a public meeting (2 CCR § 570.5). This obligation arises whenever salary ranges are changed to ensure that salary rates are transparent and publicly available. These publicly adopted rates are used by California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to determine the appropriate compensation earnable for each City employee when calculating their pension benefit.
The specific changes to the City’s Salary Schedule are presented in two versions, a red-lined version of changes to the Salary Schedule as Attachment 3, and a clean copy of the City’s Salary Schedule is included as Exhibit A to the Resolution.
Policy Considerations: Approval of this action by the City Council is consistent with the City’s legal obligation under the CalPERS law.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: This report concerns administrative activities that will not have a significant effect on the environment and that do not constitute a “project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(2).
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: Approval of this action will establish compliance with the California Code of Regulations §570.5.
Financial Considerations: The impact of this salary range increase authorized must be absorbed in the employing department’s current budgets.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
