Strategic Plan Goal:
This item aligns with Goal G: Organizational Effectiveness and Sustainability in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026 as the City is committed to providing high-quality services through a commitment to best practices and employee development, support, and retention.
Background:
The City of Victorville has contracted with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) since 1967. CalPERS is an agency that manages pension and health benefits for more than two million California Public employees, retirees, and their families.
In August 2024, CalPERS conducted a standard agency audit of the City’s practices related to financial reporting for pension plans. As a result of that audit, and to comply with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 for classic members and 571.1 4 0

for new members, which defines the requirements for a Publicly Available Pay Schedule needed to substantiate base salary for use in pension calculations, CalPERS is requiring that the City adopt a Resolution re-approving any previously approved employee salary schedules which included the Table of Compensation and Table of Organization, into a single Citywide schedule in a format approved by CalPERS.
Discussion:
The City previously included the Table of Compensation and the Table of Organization in its adopted Salary and Benefit Resolution that is presented to Council during the Fiscal Year budget, the Mid-year budget and anytime there is a change to the Salary and Benefit Resolution throughout the year. Starting with the Mid-year budget approval for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the Table of Compensation and Table of Organization were combined into a single Salary Schedule to comply with CalPERS requirements.
Per the audit findings, the City is required to update any salary schedule that was approved by the City Council from Fiscal Year 2021-2022 through present. This includes any amended or revised Salary Schedules that were previously approved and adopted.
The Salary Schedules, which include the information from the Table of Compensation and the Table of Organization, approved and adopted since Fiscal Year 2021-2022 are reflected below.
