Each year, the Classification and Compensation Resolution is presented to City Council to:
•Update job classifications to reflect current standards; •Add new job classifications as requested by departments to meet their operational needs;
•Remove job classifications that are no longer in use, not filled by employees, and not budgeted; and
•Establish the FY 2024-25 Salary Schedule to reflect wage increase set forth in the Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) negotiated with the employee bargaining groups.
Staff has met and conferred with labor groups, and discussed each of the job classification changes in the proposed Resolution.
