IV. BACKGROUND
As presented to City Council on November 1, 2022, the prior resolution adjusted the salary for Unclassified, Non-represented Full-Time Employees effective July 1, 2022. The primary change to the Resolution of Salary and Benefits for the Unclassified Management Employees is in compensation by applying a reduced ten percent (10%) step separation of pay between Department Directors and subordinate managers; formerly set at twenty percent (20%).
On November 15, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-235 establishing the salary and benefits for unclassified management employees effective November 1, 2022, and rescinding Resolution Nos. 14-091, 15-124, 15-125, 16-095, 18-170, and 22-149 and any other prior similar resolutions.
Staff is proposing an amendment to Article II Section 1 of Resolution 22-235 to include the following: “Exception: Upon hiring or promotion, Unclassified Management Employees may be assigned to any range step within the established salary range for the first 12 months of employment. Section 6, Salary Advancement shall apply to new hires and promotions.” The amendment will provide the option to hire incoming management at a salary less than the highest paid subordinate or manager, as deemed appropriate. Additionally granting the opportunity to observe and evaluate the work performance of new Unclassified Management Employees and to confirm the fit between the employees and the City.
