REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />MARCH 18, 2014 <br />TITLE: <br />PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO <br />CLASSIFICATION AND <br />COMPENSATION PLANS AND <br />ANNUAL BUDGET <br />CITY MANAQtR <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on 1" Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Adopt a resolution that amends the City's Basic Management and Non - Management Classification <br />and Compensation Plans (Resolution Nos. 91 -066 and 82 -110) and amends the City's Budget for <br />Fiscal Years 2013 -15 to reflect these changes. <br />DISCUSSION <br />It is the City's practice to create new job classifications to respond to the needs of City <br />departments when certain duties and responsibilities must be performed that are unassigned to <br />current classifications. In an effort to meet the organization's anticipated needs, two full -time and <br />one part -time job classification are proposed for inclusion in the City's classification and <br />compensation plan: <br />The City Manager proposes the creation of Downtown Development Liaison. This classification <br />will respond to the goals of the proposed Strategic Plan by pursuing objectives that continue to <br />shape downtown Santa Ana into a thriving, culturally diverse shopping, dining and entertainment <br />destination. In addition, the Executive Director of Personnel Services proposes the creation of <br />Neighborhood Improvement Projects Specialist. This classification will assist with facilitating <br />diverse housing opportunities and support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa <br />Ana neighborhoods. Finally, the Interim Police Chief proposes the creation of Correctional <br />Services Officer. This part -time job classification is designed to augment full -time correctional staff <br />as part of the comprehensive plan to align cost and revenues in the Santa Ana Jail. <br />Additionally, a minimum wage law (Assembly Bill 10) adopted by the California state legislature in <br />September 2013 establishes the minimum wage for all employees in the State of California at <br />$9.00 per hour, effective July 1, 2014. Hourly pay rates assigned to one unaffiliated and seven <br />represented part -time classification titles need to be adjusted accordingly to ensure City <br />compliance with this new mandate. <br />55B -1 <br />
