The City of San José Pay Plan will be amended to change the salary range for the classification noted above in accordance with the terms of the Side Letter Agreement and recommendation.

BACKGROUND
Per the terms of an agreement between the City and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 332 (IBEW) that was approved by the City Council in open session on June 28, 2022, the City agreed to provide employees in the Electrician, Industrial Electrician, and Instrument Control Technician series with a special on-going 5% pensionable base wage increase effective August 7, 2022. This resulted in an increase to the top and bottom of the salary range for employees in those classifications.

The City later became aware that the Electrical Maintenance Superintendent classification, a single position classification within the City that is represented by AMSP, experienced salary compaction with the IBEW represented classifications referenced above without further adjustment. On May 19, 2023, the City and AMSP agreed to the terms of a Side Letter Agreement that would provide the salary adjustment provided in the table below. (Attachment A). The agreed upon increase will maintain an acceptable salary differential between successive classifications and, based on the current organizational structure, will not require adjustments to any additional classifications.

Classification Pensionable Increase
Electrical Maintenance Superintendent 8.00%
Classification Current Pensionable
Salary Range (Annual)
New Pensionable Salary
Range Effective
June 25, 2023 (Annual)
Electrical Maintenance
Superintendent
$124,654.40 - $151,819.20 $134,617.60 - $163,966.40
In addition to the pensionable rates of pay set forth above, per Article 10.1 of the AMSP MOA, incumbents in the classification listed above currently receive a 5.00% ongoing non-pensionable compensation increase.

Because salary compaction has existed since August 7, 2022, the parties have agreed to provide the sole incumbent in the Electrical Maintenance Superintendent, who began occupying the position prior to August 7, 2022, with a one-time non-pensionable lump sum payment in the amount of $10,278.40 which represents a retroactive payment to August 7, 2022, when the salary compaction issue was created. This payment shall be made in the first full pay period after approval of this memorandum by the City Council.
