CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of May 28, 1991 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Mayor Frank A. Gonzales SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SALARY INCREASE FOR THE CITY MANAGER Date: 5122191 BACKGROUND: Members of the Police Bargaining Units have received salary increases pursuant to their Memorandums of Understanding. Included in the salary increases is the Police Chief whose salary is now 14.3 % above that of the City Manager. The Police Chief reports to the City Manager for direction and supervision, and it is established that the Chief Executive Officer of the City should receive a salary that is higher than the subordinates. A salary survey was conducted of several local cities for the position of City Manager and it was determined that the Colton City Manager's salary is below eight of the nine cities surveyed (see attached). The existing employment contract with the Colton City Manager specifies that based upon performance evaluations the City may at any time and in its sole discretion increase the employee's base salary. To date this has not been done. The only increase provided has been a cost of living increase based upon an increase listed on the Consumer Price Index. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The City Manager is the highest level City employee reporting directly to the City Council. The salary of the City Manager should be at a level that is above the subordinates that report to him. Presently, the Police Chief earns a higher salary than the City Manager. ALTERNATIVES: None. FINANCIAL IMPACT. • The financial impact is a 19.5% increase to the City Manager's salary. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.• None. RECOMMENDATION.• The City Manager has been employed with the City of Colton for one year and has not received a salary step increase. The action proposed is to place the City Manager at E Step with the increase proposed. It is my recommendation that the attached Resolution authorizing a salary increase for the City Manager be adopted. Attachments: Resolution Page 1 of FILE NO. 30L� ........... Ms.q� Item No. a) 9
