SUBJECT:Title
Consideration of Approving a Comprehensive Citywide Salary Schedule for All City Positions and Adjustments to Salary Ranges (No Budget Impact) (Human Resources Director Jenkins).
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-0037
Body
_________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council: Adopt the Resolution No. 25-0037 approving a comprehensive Citywide salary schedule (attached and titled City of Manhattan Beach - Salary Schedule).
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The salary adjustments and establishment of new ranges have been accounted for through the budget adoption process. At this time, there is no budget adjustment needed to appropriate funding for salary adjustments.
BACKGROUND:
Staff periodically takes a comprehensive Citywide salary schedule to the Council for approval, which captures all the classification and compensation changes made through the negotiations or budget process, or otherwise authorized salary range adjustments and classification changes made throughout the year.
The attached resolution and salary schedule also fulfill California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) requirements for a comprehensive publicly available pay schedule.
DISCUSSION:
The salary schedule update is an opportunity to formalize changes to the City’s classification plan that were previously approved through prior budget processes. During the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Mid-Year Budget Process presented at the City Council Meeting on February 18, 2025, the full-time classification of Water Superintendent was approved to move forward. Subsequent to the budget approval, Human Resources staff reviewed the position requirements with Public Works management, created a job description, and reviewed salaries of comparable positions in other jurisdictions. Based upon this classification and compensation analysis, the recommended salary range and steps are now being added to the Citywide salary schedule.
In addition to approving the creation of the new classification, the attached classification and salary listing serves to comply with California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) requirements that the City Council approve a publicly available pay schedule for all negotiated pay rate increases. These requirements are contained in Government Code § 20636(b)(1) and California Code of Regulations (CCR) § 570.5. In order to meet CalPERS requirements, the City Council is required to adopt a comprehensive publicly available pay schedule independent from the salary schedules attached to the MOU or approved as part of the budget process.
PUBLIC OUTREACH:
After analysis, staff determined that public outreach was not required for this issue.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report and determined that no additional legal analysis is necessary.
