ANALYSIS
Retirement Deputy Chief Investment Officer
The Human Resources Department collaborated with the Office of Retirement Services (ORS) to establish a new classification: Deputy Chief Investment Officer, as outlined in Attachment A. This classification was recommended by the City’s Retirement Board and is designed to address increasing organizational demands, fill critical administrative gaps, and support ORS’s long-term growth and leadership succession planning, all while maintaining a commitment to fiscal responsibility.
Over the past decade, ORS’s Investment Division has grown from four to eight Investment Team members (supported by an additional three Investment Operations staff). With this growth and the increasing complexity of the investment portfolio, the division faces heightened demands requiring a careful balance of strategic, operational, and administrative responsibilities. The expansion of personnel has also created a greater need for coordinated oversight of operational functions.
Reporting directly to the Chief Investment Officer, the Deputy Chief Investment Officer, an Investment Professional, will oversee the Investment Team’s activities and manage the division’s day-to-day administration. Key responsibilities include supervising staffing and personnel matters, monitoring the investment portfolio, and advancing strategic initiatives—particularly in compliance and governance. The Deputy Chief Investment Officer will also serve as a representative of ORS in key external engagements, including presentations to the City Council, stakeholder communications, Retiree Associations, and participation in industry conferences.
The Retirement Deputy Chief Investment Officer classification is recommended to have an annual, pensionable pay range of $225,000.00 to $300,000.00. The proposed salary range is established in alignment with internal equity and the salary structures of the classifications directly above and below this role.
Custody Transport Officer
In April 2023, the City engaged Matrix Consulting Group to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Police Department with the goal of identifying opportunities to enhance overall effectiveness and optimize the use of existing resources—particularly within the Patrol Division. One of the key recommendations from the study was the establishment of a dedicated arrestee transport unit. This unit would respond directly to arrest scenes, assume custody of individuals from arresting officers, and handle all aspects of transport and booking, including delivering arrestees to the County Jail or a medical facility for clearance, as necessary.
The Human Resources Department collaborated with the Police Department to support this initiative by creating a new sworn classification: Custody Transport Officer, as

Subject: Amendment to the City Pay Pan
outlined in Attachment B. The creation of this classification is a critical component of Police Department’s broader strategy to maximize patrol resources by allowing sworn police officers to remain in the field, respond to calls for service, and engage in proactive enforcement efforts. Currently, officers spend a substantial portion of their shift—typically up to two hours per arrestee—conducting arrestee transports, completing the booking process, and guarding arrestees requiring medical clearance.
With the creation of the new classification, the Custody Transport Officer will respond to the scene of the arrest to assume custody of the arrestee, thereby allowing patrol officers to remain in the field and continue patrol duties.
The Custody Transport Officer classification is recommended to have an annual, pensionable pay range of $92,144.00 to $123,468.80. The proposed salary is based on internal equity and alignment with the Police Officer and Community Service Officer series.
Custody Transport Trainee
In addition to requesting the Custody Transport Officer classification, the Police Department proposed the creation of a lower-level, temporary Custody Transport Trainee classification (Attachment C). The Custody Transport Trainee must successfully complete a three-month Correctional Academy to be appointed to the Custody Transport Officer classification and to retain employment with the City. The strategy in creating this classification is to expand the candidate pool by recruiting individuals who do not yet possess the required certifications but are interested in becoming Custody Transport Officers. This Custody Transport Trainee classification would serve as a pipeline for future Custody Transport Officers and support the effectiveness of the new Transport Unit by addressing potential recruitment challenges.
The Custody Transport Trainee classification is recommended to have an annual, pensionable pay of $87,713.60. The proposed salary is based on internal equity, and consideration for the next higher class of Custody Transport Officer and next lower class of Community Service Officer series.
EVALUATION AND FOLLOW-UP
No further follow-up with the City Council related to this action is anticipated at this time.
COST SUMMARY/IMPLICATIONS
The proposed Retirement Deputy Chief Investment Officer classification is a specific ORS classification responsible for assisting the Chief Investment Officer in managing the San José Federated City Employees’ Retirement System and Police and Fire Department Retirement Plan investment and financial operations. The addition of this

Subject: Amendment to the City Pay Pan
position to ORS will be considered as part of the 2026-2027 Proposed Budget development process.
The 2025-2026 Adopted Operating Budget includes the addition of 12.0 Custody Transport Officer positions offset by the elimination of 12.0 vacant Police Officer positions, effective January 1, 2026, with net ongoing savings estimated at approximately $350,000. Formal approval of this new classification aligns with the City Council’s previous budget actions.
COORDINATION
This memorandum was coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office, City Manager’s Budget Office, Police Department, and Office of Retirement Services.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
This memorandum will be posted on the City’s Council Agenda website for the November 4, 2025 City Council meeting.
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND INPUT
Revisions to the Pay Plan for classified positions are reported to the Civil Service Commission for filing at the first regularly scheduled meeting following City Council action. The Retirement Deputy Chief Investment Officer position is an at-will position; therefore, it will not be reported to the Civil Service Commission.
CEQA
Not a Project, File No. PP17-008, General Procedure and Policy Making resulting in no changes to the physical environment.

DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTABLE TO FLSA STATUS

CLASS SUMMARY
Under administrative direction, performs work of considerable difficulty planning, organizing, and directing major functions within the Investment Group of the City’s Office of Retirement Services.

The Deputy CIO advises on all aspects of fund asset investment, manages a broad spectrum of investment activities, and leads cross- functional teams. Performs related work as required.
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
This is an unclassified, single position class reporting directly to the CIO and is responsible for assisting the CIO in managing the San Jose Federated City Employees’ Retirement System and Police and Fire Department Retirement Plan investment and financial operations.

The Deputy CIO acts on behalf of the CIO in their absence and plays a critical role in aligning investment strategy with organizational goals. This class differs from the Retirement Senior Investment Officer in that the latter supports and advises the Deputy CIO without the broader leadership management responsibilities. The Deputy CIO is distinguished from the CIO in that the latter class has full management and oversight of the investment portfolio of pension assets.
