SUBJECT:
San Mateo City Employees’ Association Side Letter of Agreement Regarding Salary Equity Adjustments - Approval RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to amend the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the San Mateo City Employees’ Association (“SMCEA”) to implement additional salary equity adjustments per the MOU Section 12.2 and appropriate funds.
BACKGROUND:
A compensation survey was conducted by a third-party consultant as agreed during the latest contract negotiations with SMCEA (Section 12.2 of the MOU). The findings revealed that the City of San Mateo was below the median, as follows:
Engineering Technician II- 3.64%,
Housing Specialist II- 3.68%,
Plan Checker II- 5.34%,
Community Services Supervisor- 7.0%,
HR Technician- 5.33%,
Accountant I- 3.54% and
Systems Analyst I - 1.76%
The intent of the Side Letter of Agreement is to bring the classifications listed above to the median salary rate effective the first full pay period following Council adoption.
BUDGET IMPACT:
A supplemental budget appropriation is required for the negotiated equity adjustments for the classifications listed above.
Budget impact is estimated to be $282,100, with $63,600 for the General Fund, $160,000 for the Recreation Services fund, $44,500 for the Construction Services Fund, $4,500 for the Sewer Fund, and $9,500 for the Workers’ Compensation Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This Side Letter of Agreement is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is a government fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)
