Resolution City’s Master Pay Schedule <br />November 19, 2019 <br />Page 2 <br />Currently, the City maintains the salary information in the City’s Classification and Compensation <br />Plan adoptedby theCity Counciland through approval of Memorandums of Understanding with <br />various labor organizations representing City employees. Following City Council approval of <br />periodical amendments to the City’s Classification and CompensationPlan, individual salary <br />agreements, and/orapproved salary changes through the collective bargaining process, the <br />approved salary pay rates are incorporated into one master salary schedule. However, this <br />master salary schedule has customarily not been approved by Council as a single document, <br />even though it contains the collective salary informationderived from individual Memorandums of <br />Understandings (MOU), individual employment agreements, and/or amendments to the City’s <br />Classification and Compensation Plan,which have all been approved by the City Council. <br />CalPERS interprets California Code of Regulations Section 570.5 to require that the Citylist <br />compensation levels for all positions on onedocument duly approved and adopted by the City <br />Council. <br />Adoption of this Resolution (Exhibit 1) will comply with CalPERS’ interpretation of the <br />requirements of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations section 570.5 by affirming the single <br />Master Salary Schedulealready on the City’s websiteand publically available andrepresenting <br />all previously approved actions on individualemployeeclassifications set forth as part of the <br />salary schedule.Going forward, the MasterSalary Schedule will be submitted tothe CityCouncil <br />for approval each time any collective bargaining unit MOU, employment agreement or Resolution <br />amending or restating the City’s Classification and CompensationPlanis brought to the City <br />Council for approval. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City’s effort to meet Goal #7 –Team Santa Ana, Objective #4, <br />Establish employee compensation that attracts and retains a highly qualified workforce, objective <br />#6, Provide a positive workplace environment that supports the health of its employees and <br />celebrates its success, and objective #7 Develop a culture of motivated and innovative leaders in <br />the organization. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Adoption of a Master Salary Schedule has no fiscal impact to the City for preparation or <br />distribution, as the actions already occur. If this Resolution is not adopted, the potential fiscal <br />impact for retiring employeescould besignificantbecauseCalPERS has stated that if an agency <br />cannot provide a document meeting the requirementsof Title 2 of the California Code of <br />Regulations Section 570.5, then CalPERS must determine that the pay amount fails to meet the <br />definition of pay rate. <br />Steven V.
