DISCUSSION
On December 16, 2025, the City Council accepted and filed Fiscal Year 2025-26 First Quarter Budget Review Report and approved program modifications including the addition of Communications Manager to lead the Communications Division and develop Citywide projects related to strategic messaging, enhancing transparency, and promoting civic initiatives and the conversion of 1.0 FTE Production Assistant I to 1.0 FTE Production Assistant II. This conversion includes the elimination of the first three steps of the Production Assistant I classification to improve recruitment efforts and creates a new full-time Production Assistant II position, providing a clearer promotional pathway and strengthening retention within the City’s workforce.
Staff is recommending the addition of the positions of Communications Manager to the Executive and Management Employees Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Production Assistant II 1 City Council

to the Certain Full-time and Salaried Employees and the elimination of the first 3 steps of Production Assistant by way of this item.
In addition, on January 1, 2026 the California statewide minimum wage increased to $16.90 per hour. In accordance with Article 4 of the City Charter, the monthly compensation for Mayor and City Councilmembers is calculated by taking the minimum wage of the State of California and multiplying it by 2,080 hours to get the yearly amount and dividing the yearly amount by 12 to get the monthly compensation. CalPERS requires that all public employee pay schedules, be publicly available, and adopted by the employer's governing body. The updated resolution included in this item fulfills that requirement.
On February 3, 2025 a new resolution was adopted for Elected Officials, which includes the City Clerk. At that time, reimbursable expenses for the City Clerk was inadvertently left out of the resolution. The Elected Officials resolution corrects this exclusion, adding it back by way of this item.
