FROM: Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator
RE: Resolution No. 2011-69: Implementing Resolutions and Ordinance
On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Vernon enacted Resolution No. 2011.69.
That Resolution directed the City Administrator to undertake analyses and make related
recommendations to revise certain policies and programs, including, among others a review of the
salaries paid to City department heads; the creation of a policy for City -owned housing; consideration
of Councilmember term limits; a review of Councilmember salaries and benefits; and the retention of
a firm to provide political -compliance training and review for City officials.
The five attached staff reports set forth the City Administrator's analyses and
recommendations, as directed by Sections 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 of Resolution No. 2011-69. The staff
reports recommend that the City Council:
• Adopt a resolution establishing and adjusting salaries for certain City department heads in
line with those of comparable jurisdictions, based on a survey that was conducted;
• Adopt an ordinance creating a City of Vernon Housing Commission, which would be
charged with recommending a housing policy for City Council approval;
• Adopt a resolution calling for an election for a charter amendment establishing term limits
for City Councilmembers of two 5-year terms with a lifetime ban thereafter;
• Adopt a resolution reducing Councilmember salaries to $25,000 and eliminating certain
health benefits; and
• Approve the retention of the law firm of Reed & Davidson to provide annual Political
Reform Act, Public Records Act, and Brown Act training for City Officials and reviewing
the City's policies relating to those statutes.

RE: Resolution No. 2011-69, Section 2: Salary Surveys for City Department Heads
On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Vernon enacted Resolution No. 2011-69.
Section 2 of the Resolution directed the City Administrator to undertake a "salary survey for department
head level positions," due back to the City Council within 60 days of the Resolution with
recommendations for salary adjustments for department heads. This report provides a comprehensive
survey with schedules of figures attached and recommendations regarding whether salary adjustments
should be implemented for Vernon's department heads.
Methodolo�y
The survey is comprised of two sets of compensation data from local jurisdictions in Southern
California. The first is a smaller sample that includes Anaheim, Burbank, Los Angeles, Pasadena, and
Riverside. These cities were selected because they have their own electric and water departments.
The second is a larger sample that includes the foregoing cities as well as Alhambra, Bell Gardens,
Commerce, Compton, Cudahy, Downey, Huntington Park, Inglewood, Maywood, Montebello, Monterey
Park, Pico Rivera, and South Gate, which were selected because they are all within a 5-mile radius of
Vernon. Santa Fe Springs and Irwindale are also included in this sample because they are primarily
industrial. Torrance is included to evaluate the compensation of Vernon'sFire Chief because Torrance,
like Vernon, has a Class-1 Fire Department Rating. Because the County of Los Angeles is one of the few
local entities in Southern California with its own health department, it is included in the survey to evaluate
the salary of the Vernon's Health Officer/Director of Health and Environmental Control. Some of the
jurisdictions surveyed do not have positions that correspond with Vernon's department heads. As a result,
these jurisdictions may not be mentioned in certain survey results.
Our survey used Vernon's department -head salaries as prescribed in the most recent City
resolutions. Where applicable, the report acknowledges that certain of these positions currently are being
1
staffed by interim department heads, who are compensated under different salary schedules.)
For other jurisdictions, we relied on the compensation figures provided in the California State
Controller's database of local government salaries and compensation.2 The specific compensation figures
we considered were the reported maximum annual salaries for each employment classification
("Maximum Salary").3 We note that the 2009 figures are the most recent available for the other
jurisdictions in this database.
In preparing our recommendations, we considered whether salary reductions were necessary to
bring Vernon in -line with comparable jurisdictions, while also seeking to ensure that Vernon remained
competitive in attracting and retaining the most qualified department heads. We also took into account that
Vernon's department heads often are tasked with broader responsibilities due to smaller support staffs than
in other jurisdictions. Based on these considerations, we generally focused our review on how Vernon's
department -head salaries compared with the average of the top quartile of surveyed cities in the large and
small samples,4 as well as the average of the cities in the small sample. Where existing salaries exceeded
these amounts, we have generally recommended a reduction in salary. Where existing salaries were at or
below those thresholds, we have not recommended any salary adjustments. Our recommendations are
summarized in Schedule I, and our supporting salary -survey results are provided in Schedule II, both of
which are appended to this report. Finally, we note that this report is intended solely to recommend
salaries for department -head positions; it does not make any recommendations ag to whether any current
deputy or interim department -head employee should be advanced to a department -head position.
Survey Results and Recommendations
A. City Administrator
Vernon's current Fire Chief serves as the City Administrator and is compensated as Fire Chief, a
position that receives a resolution -established salary of $199,188. The City of Vernon currently does not
have a resolution -established salary for the position of City Administrator. Among the salaries of City
Administrators in comparable jurisdictions, the average of the top quartile of the large sample is $267,550;
the top city in the small sample is $307,574; and the average of the small sample is $271,852. To ensure
that Vernon provides both a reasonable and competitive salary for its City Administrator relative to
comparable jurisdictions, this report recommends that the City Council set a salary of $267,000 for this
position. However, in light of current budget constraints and other considerations, this report further
recommends that Vernon's current City Administrator continue to be compensated solely as Fire Chief
Accordingly, it is anticipated that Mark Whitworth will continue to serve as City Administrator and Fire
Chief, but will continue to be compensated solely in his position as Fire Chief.

Leadership%20Salaries.pdf.
2 See California Controller's Database of Local Government Salaries and Other Compensation (May 17, 2011), http://www.
sco.ca.gov/compensation search.html.
3 The Controller's database did not provide Maximum Salary figures for the City of Cudahy. Accordingly, we used the
amount provided in Box 5 of the W-2 for the relevant city employee in 2009. This amount represents salary, wages and tips
subject to Medicare tax, which includes deferred compensation, 401k contributions and other fringe benefits that represent a
taxpayer's total compensation.
4 For some positions, the top quartile of the small sample included only one city. In these instances, the salary provided in
that city was used and no "average" was taken.
P
B. Fire Chief
As discussed, Vernon's Fire Chief presently serves as the City Administrator and receives a
resolution -established salary of $199,188.5 As compared to the salaries of other Fire Chiefs, this amount is
22% less than the average of the top quartile of the large sample; 23% less than the average of the top
quartile of the small sample; and 15% less than the average of the small sample. Considering that
Vernon's fire department is only one of 42 Class-1 fire departments in the country, and taking into account
the importance of the fire department in an industrial city and a city with its own utility, the City Council
could consider raising the salary of the Fire Chief. Nonetheless, in light of current budget constraints and
other considerations, this report recommends that the Fire Chief's salary not be adjusted at this time.
C. Police Chief
The current salary for Vernon's Interim Police Chief is $127,356,6 which is the resolution -
established salary for the position of Police Captain. The resolution -established salary for the position of
Police Chief is $185,364. As compared to the salaries of other Police Chiefs, this amount is 29% less than
the average of the top quartile of the large sample; 40% less than the top city in the small sample; and 26%
less than the average of the small sample. Considering that 1,200 businesses and 44,000 workers depend
on only 50 sworn officers in Vernon, the City Council could consider raising the salary of the Police Chief
Nonetheless, in light of current budget constraints and other considerations, this report recommends that
the Police Chief's salary not be adjusted at this time.
D. Ct Clerk
Vernon's Chief Deputy City Attorney presently serves as the Interim City Attorney, City Clerk, and
Risk Manager, and receives a resolution -established salary for the position of Chief Deputy City Attorney, which
is $233,700. The City of Vernon currently does not have a resolution -established salary for the position of City
Clerk; but the previous resolution -established salary for this position was $150,000. As compared to the salaries
of other City Clerks, this amount is 4% less than the average of the top quartile of the large sample;l6% less than
the top city in the small sample; and 5% greater than the average of the small sample. Considering each of these
statistical thresholds as a whole, the previous resolution -established salary of Vernon's City Clerk is in -line with
comparable jurisdictions. Accordingly, this report recommends that the salary for the City Clerk be set at
$150,000.
E. Health Officer/Director of Health and Environmental Control
The resolution -established salary for Vernon's Health Officer and Director of Health and
Environmental Control is $193,440, which is 37% less than that of Los Angeles County's Director of
Public Health and 4% greater than that of Pasadena's Director of Public Health. Because Vernon is the
only industrial city among these cities, and in light of the importance of health and environmental control
in industrial cities, the salary of the Director of Health and Environmental Control appears appropriate in
comparison to the surveyed jurisdictions, and this report recommends that the salary for this position
remain unchanged.
s This amount does not include an additional 2.5% for holding a fire science certificate; an additional 2.5% for holding a fire
science degree; and haz-mat pay of $125 per month.
6 This amount does not include 20% longevity; an additional 6% for holding a POST Advanced Certificate; and $125
monthly bilingual pay.
F. Director of Community Services
The resolution -established salary for Vernon's Director of Community Services is $220,128. As
compared to the salaries of similar positions in comparable jurisdictions, this amount is 61/o greater than the
average of the top quartile of the large sample; 2% less than the top city in the small sample; and 8% greater than
average of the small sample. Considering each of these statistical thresholds as a whole, and given that the
Director of Community Services also is in charge of the City's Water Department, the salary of Vernon's
Director of Community Services is in -line with comparable jurisdictions, and this report recommends that the
salary for this position remain unchanged.
G. Director of Human Resources
The City of Vernon currently does not have a resolution -established salary for the position of
Director of Human Resources. The current organizational structure of City departments provides that the
Director of Human Resources oversees the Personnel and Risk Management Departments. The collective
responsibilities of this position are currently being handled independently by the Director of Personnel and
Risk Manager.
Among the salaries of Directors of Human Resources and similar positions in comparable
jurisdictions, the average of the top quartile of the large sample is $196,240; the top city in the small
sample is $223,691; and the average of the small sample is $184,092.
To ensure that Vernon provides both a reasonable and competitive salary for its Director of
Human Resources relative to comparable jurisdictions, as well as to compensate for the collective
oversight of personnel and risk -management responsibilities that fall under this position, this report
recommends that the City Council set a salary of $196,000 for the Director of Human Resources.
H. Risk Manager
As discussed, Vernon's Chief Deputy City Attorney presently serves as the Interim City Attorney,
City Clerk, and Risk Manager, and receives a resolution -established salary for the position of Chief Deputy
City Attorney, which is $233,700. The City of Vernon currently does not have a resolution -established
salary for the position of Risk Manager. Among the salaries of Risk Managers in comparable jurisdictions,
the average of the top quartile of the large sample is $163,652; the top city in the small sample is $162,796;
and the average of the small sample is $144,856. To ensure that Vernon provides both a reasonable and
competitive salary for its Risk Manager relative to comparable jurisdictions, this report recommends that
the City Council set a salary of $163,000 for this position. No change in salary is recommended for the
Chief Deputy City Attorney.
I. Director of Lip-ht and Power
The current salary for Vernon's Director of Light and Power is $144,468,7 which is the resolution -
established salary for the position of Transmission and Distribution Manager. The City of Vernon
currently does not have a resolution -established salary for the position of Director of Light and Power, but
the previous resolution -established salary for this position was $345,000. As compared to the salaries of
similar positions in other cities, this amount is 6% greater than the top city ($325,686) and 32% greater
than average ($262,127). Because Vernon's prior salary for this position is significantly greater than in
This amount does not include additional longevity pay of 20%.
11
comparable jurisdictions, this report recommends that a new salary for the Director of Light and Power be
set at $262,000. No change in salary is recommended for the current Director of Light and Power.
J. City AttorneX
As discussed, Vernon's Chief Deputy City Attorney presently serves as the Interim City Attorney,
City Clerk, and Risk Manager, and receives a resolution -established salary for the position of Chief Deputy
City Attorney, which is $233,700. The City of Vernon currently does not have a resolution -established
salary for the position of City Attorney, but the previous salary for this position was $341,556. As
compared to the salaries of other City Attorneys, this amount is 35% greater than the average of the top
quartile of the large sample ($252,364); 22% greater than the top city in the small sample ($279,613); and
50% greater than the average of the small sample ($228,054). Because Vernon's previous salary for this
position is significantly greater than in comparable jurisdictions, this report recommends that a new salary
for the City Attorney be set at $252,000. No change in salary is recommended for the Chief Deputy City
Attorney.
K. Finance Director
The resolution -established salary for Vernon's Finance Director is $339,996. As compared to the
salaries of similar positions in other cities, this amount is 68% greater than the average of the top quartile
of the large sample ($202,570); 52% greater than the top city in the small sample ($223,691); and 63%
greater than the average of the small sample ($209,102). Because Vernon's salary for this position is
significantly greater than in comparable jurisdictions, this report recommends that the Finance Director's
salary be adjusted to $210,000.
Recommendation
Adopt the attached resolution to (i) establish salaries for Vernon's City Administrator, City Clerk,
Director of Human Resources, Risk Manager, Director of Light and Power, and City Attorney; (ii) reduce
the salary of Vernon's Finance Director; and (iii) maintain unchanged the salaries of all other department
heads, as well as the salaries of employees presently serving as department heads on an interim basis.
