RESOLUTION NO. 2007-042 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA TO AMEND RESOLUTION NO. 82-110 TO AMEND THE BASIC COMPENSATION PLAN FOR CLASSIFICATIONS OF EMPLOYMENT DESIGNATED AS UNAFFILIATED CONFIDENTIAL. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Section 1004, Article X of the City Charter of the City of Santa Ana requires the City Manager to prepare, install and maintain a position classification and pay plan subject to civil service rules and regulations and the approval of the City Council. B. On August 2, 1982, the City Council passed and adopted Resolution No. 82-110 revising and re-establishing the Basic Classification and Compensation Plan for Officers and employees of the City of Santa Ana. C. On December 21, 1987 the City Council passed and adopted Resolution No. 87-94, amending Resolution No. 82-110 to establish a basic compensation plan for classifications of employment designated as Unaffiliated Confidential (UC) and to set forth certain levels of salaries and benefits for these classifications. Resolution No. 82-110 has been amended from time to time to allow for adjustments to the wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment for employees designated as Unaffiliated Confidential (UC). D. On November 20, 2006, the City Council authorized amendments of its Memoranda of Understanding with several employee bargaining units, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the Santa Ana Management Association (SAMA), extending the term of existing contracts through June 30, 2010. Other changes included certain adjustments in wages and benefits including an agreement to amend the City's contract with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) to provide a 2.7% at 55 retirement benefit for miscellaneous employees, effective January 1, 2009. In exchange for this enhanced benefit, City bargaining units agreed that beginning July 1, 2007, miscellaneous employees covered by CaIPERS will contribute incrementally toward the employer cost of the new retirement plan, and that by July 1, 2009, these employee contributions will pay for the additional cost of the plan. E. It is the City's desire that full-time Unaffiliated Confidential employees shall continue to be subject to the same changes in wages and benefits as are provided for employees represented by SEIU and the same changes in certain benefits which are provided for employees represented by SAMA.
