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 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 CalPERS 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 now desired to amend Council Resolution No. 82-110 to effect these
changes for Unaffiliated Confidential employees.
