Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

FROM:
Lisa Jenkins, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT:Title
Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Comprehensive Citywide Salary Schedule for all City Positions and Adjustments to Salary Ranges (Human Resources Director Jenkins).
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 24-0085
Body
_________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council: Adopt the Resolution No. 24-0085 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, Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), or adopted Full-Time Unrepresented Compensation Plans. 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, including negotiated MOU 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 pending the City Council’s approval reflects the updated salary ranges previously approved for the represented Manhattan Beach Firefighters’ Association (MBFA) through a negotiated multi-year MOU and for sworn Full-Time Unrepresented Employees (e.g. (Fire) Division Chief and Deputy Chief) through the previously approved compensation plan. The previously approved cost of living adjustments to the salary schedules are 2.5% effective July 13, 2024, and 2.43% effective July 1, 2024, respectively.
The salary schedule update is also an opportunity to formalize changes to the City’s classification plan that were previously approved through the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget Process presented at the City Council Meeting on June 4, 2024, and during the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Mid-Year Budget Process presented at the City Council Meeting on February 20, 2024. Following the completion of classification and compensation analyses, the following full-time classifications were created and their corresponding salary steps/ranges are being added to the citywide salary schedule:
• Senior Fire Inspector (Civilian)
• Solid Waste Administrator
In addition to approving the recommended adjustments, 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.
