Adopt a Resolution regarding wages and benefits for Unaffiliated <br />Confidential classifications of employment. <br />2. Adopt a Resolution regarding wages and benefits for unrepresented <br />Executive Management classifications of employment. <br />The City Council has recently authorized amendments of its Memoranda of <br />Understanding with several of its employee bargaining units, extending the <br />term of existing contracts through June 30, 2010 and providing adjustments <br />in wages and certain benefits. Included in these negotiated changes is <br />the City's agreement to amend its contract with CalPERS to provide a 2.7~ <br />at 55 retirement plan for miscellaneous employees to be effective on <br />January 1, 2009. In exchange for this enhanced benefit, City bargaining <br />units have agreed that beginning July 1, 2007, miscellaneous employees <br />will contribute incrementally toward the employer cost of the retirement <br />plan and that by July 1, 2009, these employees' contributions will pay for <br />the additional cost of the plan. <br />In conjunction with Council's approval of these wage and benefit changes <br />for represented employees, the subject action will provide for similar <br />changes for the City's unrepresented Unaffiliated Confidential (UC) <br />employees. Unaffiliated Confidential classifications are those assigned <br />to perform work in employee-employer relations activities. Included in <br />this group are employees holding positions as Executive Assistants, Legal <br />Secretaries, Management Analysts, some Executive Secretaries, and <br />employees in the Personnel Services Agency and in the City Attorney's <br />Office. <br />In addition, the subject action will provide similar wage and benefit <br />changes for unrepresented Executive Management (EM) employees.
