CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF August 3,1999 TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council APPROVAL: Henry Garcia, City Manager a FROM: Dennis Morris, Human Resource Director' SUBJECT: Approve And Adopt The Amended "Merit Pay Plan" For The Executive Unit And Approve A Consolidated Salary Resolution Containing All Units, With All Of The 98/99 Updates. DATE: July 26, 1999 BACKGROUND: In October 1998 the City Council approved a compensation adjustment for Executive Unit employees. In addition, over the last year there have been a number of compensation adjustments approved by Council for all employee Associations/Unions. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: In October 1998 the City Council approved a "merit pay" plan for the Executive Unit based on them meeting their departmental goals and objectives for the fiscal years 1999/2000 and 2000/2001. This "merit pay" plan consisted of creating an additional salary step at the top of each Executive Unit's salary range rather than increasing the entire salary range. In subsequent review, each Executive Unit employee is not at the top of the salary range and thus would not be eligible for "merit pay". So as a result, we are recommending in lieu of just increasing the top of the salary range by 5%, increasing instead each salary range of all Executive Unit salary schedules by 5% in the fiscal years 1999/2000 and 2000/2001. Each Executive Unit member would still only be eligible for the "merit pay" if they met their departmental goals & objectives as determined by the City Manager. In addition, over the last year the City Council has approved compensation adjustments for all of our employee Associations/Unions. The attached salary resolution consolidates all of the salary changes into one (1) comprehensive salary resolution, with all salary ranges that are effective July 1, 1999. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The change to the executive salary ranges would increase the cost by approximately $28,785 per year over what was previously approved by the City Council. The financial impact of the consolidated salary resolution was already discussed when the changes were approved by the City Council, adequate funds for the original decision were budgeted in the salary and benefit accounts of each affected department for the next two (2) fiscal years. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to increase each Executive Unit salary range by 5%, effective July 1, 1999 and July 1, 2000. Staff also recommends that the City Council approve the attached salary resolution consolidating/updating the salary ranges effective July 1, 1999.
