Report
Summary
Changes Effective July 6, 2026
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 6, 2026, adopting the 2026-28 Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) with the five Meet and Confer employee groups. This is also consistent with the City Manager's authority to approve the 2026-28 Memorandum 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 6, 2026.
