TOPIC: Resolution to Retroactively Update Salary Schedules for the Santa Ana Police
Management Association ("PMA") with No Fiscal Impact
AGENDA TITLE
Resolution Retroactively Approving Corrected Salary Schedules for the Santa Ana
Police Management Association ("PMA")
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a Resolution to retroactively update Salary Schedule for PMA as requested by
California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS), and in compliance with
CalPERS California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 2, Section 570.5.
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-XXXX entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA TO EFFECT CERTAIN CHANGES TO THE CITY'S
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION PLAN
GOVERNMENT CODE 484308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The City Council amends the City's classification and compensation plan for all full-
time and part-time classifications for City officers and employees. This is done via a
resolution which is the mechanism by which CalPERS determines salary for the
purpose of calculating retirement. As identified by the City's pension system provider,
a correction is required to ensure the PMA Salary Schedule reflects what was
approved by City Council. This change has no fiscal impact.
The PMA Salary Schedules for the period covering the January 1, 2022 through June
30, 2025 PMA Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") are being corrected to reflect
the Council -approved salary changes. Specifically, the pay rates for the Jail
Administrator (RM) classification effective November 16, 2022, July 2, 2023, and July
14 2024 were not listed correctly on the PMA Salary Schedules approved by City
Council. Note that the compensation and benefits for the single employee in this
classification during this period were not affected as the City's payroll system
accurately reflected the appropriate pay rates.
Classification and Compensation Resolution
March 17, 2026
Page 2
These Salary Schedules are being corrected retroactively pursuant to this Resolution
to ensure compliance with CalPERS requirements. CalPERS interprets California
Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 2, Section 570.5, as requiring City Council approval
of Salary Schedules grouped by employee unit and reflecting classification and
compensation changes approved by City Council through official actions, including
resolutions and MOU approvals.
Accordingly, the proposed Resolution recommends approval of the updated PMA
Salary Schedules for the term of the January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 PMA
MOU.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA TO EFFECT CERTAIN CHANGES TO THE CITY'S
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION PLAN
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and
declares as follows:
A. Section 1004 of the City Charter 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. It is the City's practice to assign job titles that reflect the duties and
responsibilities of classifications and are consistent with other classifications
within the City's organizational structure, as well as comparable job titles in the
labor market, while maintaining internal pay equity relationships and attracting
and retaining qualified candidates.
C. The City Council regularly amends the City's classification and compensation
plan for all full-time and part-time classifications of employees and officers of
the City.
D. Certain clean up issues were identified regarding the Santa Ana Police
Management Association ("PMA") Salary Schedules covering the period of the
January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 PMA Memorandum of Understanding.
These clean up issues are being addressed as part of this Resolution.
Section 2. Previously, the pay rates for the Jail Administrator (RM) effective November
16, 2022, July 2, 2023, and July 14, 2024 were not listed correctly on the PMA Salary
Schedules approved by City Council. The compensation and benefits of the single
employee in this classification during this period of time was not affected as the City's
payroll system accurately reflected the appropriate rates.
Section 3. The Santa Ana City Council hereby retroactively approves the updated
Salary Schedules for the PMA unit as specified, attached to this resolution as Exhibit A.
The Salary Schedule reflects classification and compensation amendments pursuant to
this and previously approved City Council actions, grouped by employee unit as
recommended by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS), and
is intended to ensure compliance with CalPERS requirements, including California Code
of Regulations (CCR) Title 2, Section 570.5.
