Agenda Number: 9 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 10-2311 File ID: 25-10553 TO: City Council
FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Human Resources Department
MEETING DATE: November 17, 2025
SUBJECT:
Salary Schedules — Adoption
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to adopt full salary schedules as standalone documents detailing the rates of pay for each City classification, and to maintain these salary schedules as publicly available documents for at least five years.
BACKGROUND:
Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 570.5 requires Council to adopt a full salary schedule as a standalone document detailing the rates of pay for each classification, and to maintain this salary schedule as a publicly available document for at least five years. The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) uses this salary schedule to determine the “compensation earnable” when calculating the monthly pension an individual will receive when they retire. “Compensation earnable” is defined by the Public Employees Retirement Law (PERL) Government Code Sections 20636 and 20636.1 as “pay rates and special compensation as defined in the statutes.” The City's Merit Salary Schedules are consistent with classifications and pay rates for current employees at this time, and no changes to the various salary ranges are proposed by the adoption of the salary schedules. The Merit Salary Schedules (Attachments A-W) reflect salary changes previously agreed upon by MOU or compensation agreements. Salary schedules are periodically brought to Council for approval in compliance with CalPERS and PERL. Salary schedules are available to the public on the City's website.
The last salary schedules brought forth for Council approval for the Department Heads, Deputy Directors, City Manager and City Attorney were in October 2023 and for merit employees were in October of 2022 respectively. To ensure compliance with CalPERS regulations, all updated salary schedules for Department Heads, Deputy Directors, City Manager, City Attorney since October 2022 and merit employees since October 2023 have been included herein.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The adopted FY 2025-26 budget assumed these changes.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This Resolution 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).)
