Adopt a resolution that reestablishes the Basic Classification and Compensation Plan for
classifications of employment designed as unrepresented Executive Management and amends
the Fiscal Year 2015 -16 Annual Budget.
DISCUSSION
In 2014 and again in 2015, the Personnel Services Department conducted recruitments to hire a
Deputy City Manager. In both cases, it was determined that the recruitments did not produce a
sufficient number of satisfactory candidates to make a selection. As a result, the Personnel
Services Department conducted a review of the duties, responsibilities and compensation
assigned to the Deputy City Manager job classification (Exhibit 1).
This analysis indicated that Santa Ana's classification is undercompensated in relation to similar
positions in eleven comparable cities. As this position is instrumental to the effective
management of City operations, the salary rate assigned to this classification must be
competitive in the labor market to attract and retain candidates. Therefore, the City Manager is
requesting a 10% equity increase for Deputy City Manager in order to attract the highest quality
candidates in subsequent recruitments and establish a compensation level commensurate with
comparable classifications in agencies of similar size and complexity.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #7 — Team Santa Ana, Objective #6 - (Provide
a positive workplace environment that supports the health of its employees and celebrates its
success and Goals).
