Title
Repeal Existing Pay Ordinance S-49802 and Classification Ordinance S-5815, and Adopt a New Combined Ordinance for a Classification Plan and Pay Plan with Pay Rates and Compensation (Ordinance S-51039)
Description
Request City Council to repeal Ordinances S-49802 and S-5815, and all amendments thereto, and to adopt a new combined Ordinance for a City Council-approved Classification Plan and Pay Plan with gross pay rates and other compensation for a two-year period covered by the 2024-26 Memoranda of Understanding, as defined under the Meet and Confer Ordinance. The combined Ordinance also includes gross rates of pay and other compensation for employees covered by the Meet and Discuss Ordinance, and gross pay rates and other compensation for all unrepresented employees. The combined Ordinance will become effective on July 8, 2024 (the first day of the first full pay period of the new fiscal year).
Report
Summary
Changes Effective July 8, 2024
The combined Ordinance for a Classification Plan and Pay Plan provides specifications for each position in the classified and unclassified service of the City. The combined Ordinance also outlines changes to pay rates and other compensation for employees covered by the Meet and Confer Ordinance, employees covered by the Meet and Discuss Ordinance, and employees represented by the City Manager, such as confidential office and clerical, middle managers, and executives. This is consistent with the City Council’s formal Resolution on May 15, 2024 adopting the 2024-26 Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with the five Meet and Confer employee groups. This is also consistent with the City Manager’s authority to approve 2024-26 Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs) for employee associations, and to approve pay rates and other compensation for employees represented by the City Manager. The proposed language for the new combined Ordinance is included in Attachment A.
Administrative Regulations and other policy documents will be amended to address those items agreed to with the employee groups that are not part of the combined Ordinance.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
- City Council approved, by formal Resolution, the MOUs with the five Meet and Confer groups on May 15, 2024.
