Representatives of the City and the Colton Firefighter Association have also reached agreement on the two salary "reopeners" in the present contract. The MOU incorporating our agreement MOU is attachment "A" to the Firefighter Association Resolution R-91-98. The City Manager has recommended that we pay the Executive Management employees 2% @a 55 PERS contribution, (the same as the agreement with the General and Management/Confidential Units). Since the Police and Fire Chiefs are not eligible for the PERS benefit, the City Manager has recommended that they receive a 3% salary increase (the approximate value of the PERS benefit) in lieu of receiving the benefit that other Executive Management employees will receive. In addition, in lieu of implementing the compensation study for Executive Management in fiscal years 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 the City Manager recommends increasing the top of each Executive Management salary range by 5% in July of 1999 and July 2000. To be eligible for this "merit pay" each Executive Manager will be evaluated on how successful they are in meeting their departmental goals and objectives. (R-93- 98) FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the agreements are estimated for the first year is $368,000 and the second year is $468,000. This figure does not include any increase in overtime cost that may result from a salary increase, nor does it include any costs related to the Police Management unit. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached agreements with the Police, Fire, and Electric Units; and authorize staff to sign the comprehensive MOD's on behalf of the City. Staff also recommends that City Council approve the compensation recommended for the Executive Unit and adopt the salary resolutions necessary to increase the Executive Management salary ranges.
