SUBJECT:
San Mateo Management Employees' Association Side Letter of Agreement — Amendment RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to amend the Memorandum of Understanding with the San Mateo Management Employees' Association (”SMMEA”) to implement additional salary equity adjustments for the following classifications: Assistant City Attorney, Parks and Landscape Manager, Parks and Landscape Maintenance Supervisor, Managing Arborist and the Wastewater Treatment Plant Lab Supervisor.
BACKGROUND:
During the last contract negotiations, the City and SMMEA agreed to survey the following classifications per the MOU Section 7.2 Market Placement and Compensation Survey Data. A third-party consultant conducted the surveys, and the findings revealed that the City of San Mateo was below the median as follows:
Assistant City Attorney- 6.72 percent,
Parks and Landscape Manager- 7.86 percent,
Parks and Landscape Maintenance Supervisor- 7.86 percent, Managing Arborist-7.86 percent, and
Wastewater Treatment Plant Lab Supervisor -1.52 percent 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:
The additional equity adjustments to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the San Mateo Management Employees’ Association will result in an annual increase or approximately $84,400, with $51,200 in the General Fund, $25,200 in the Construction Services Fund, and $8,000 in the Sewer Fund, all which can be absorbed within the departments’ budget.
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).)
