amending Resolution No. 2011-87 to enact said reductions effective July 1, 2013,
and to change the classification from "councilman" to "Council member."
The proposed resolution shall not affect or alter the existing compensation of any other
officer or employee not specifically set forth herein.
Background
On June 19, 2012 the City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 2012-94 and 2012-95 approving a
Memorandum of Understanding setting forth certain terms and conditions for employment for
classifications represented by the Vernon Police Officers' Benefit Association (VPOBA) and the
Vernon Firemen's Association (VFA) for the period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2014
respectively.
Included in the adoption of the MOUs was a 3% salary increase to take effect July 1, 2013 for
classifications represented by the above Employee Organizations.
Pursuant to Personnel Resolution No. 2012-115, Section 15, Subsection c - Police Management
Employees and the Police Chief shall also receive the respective 3% salary increase as set forth
in the respective section of Article II, Section 4 of the VPOBA MOU.
In addition, Personnel Resolution No. 2012-115, Section 14, Subsection b - Fire Management
Employees also provides for Fire Management personnel to receive a 3% increase across the
board. Although the Fire Chief was excluded at the time due to the then Fire Chief s concurrent
City Administrator role, it is recommended that the Fire Chief also receive the 3% salary
increase to ensure internal equity among other safety classifications relationships.
The attached resolution represents the agreement of a 3% salary increase made between the City
Council and the VPOBA, VIA, and the Fire and Police Management employees, including the
Police Chief as approved by respective Resolutions on June 19 and June 20, 2012. It also
recommends the respective increase for the Fire Chief.
On August 7, 2012, as part of the City's good governance reforms, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 2012-147, to hire a much needed, highly qualified and experienced Human
Resources Director (HR Director) to perform all the essential duties of an HR Director and
rebuild a department that has been virtually non-existent in Vernon for many years. Based on
the HR Director's assessment of the immediate and long-term needs of the department, coupled
with the current workload and budgetary constraints, the HR Director has proposed to fill only
the most critically needed position within the department in fiscal year 2013-2014, the Senior
Human Resources Analyst. With six bargaining units currently in place, and the possibility of a
seventh, the development of a new Personnel Merit System, including numerous new and revised
HR policies and procedures, the upcoming classification and compensation study, and
procurement of a new benefits coordinator, among a number of other important tasks, the HR
Director is in need of a secondary, high level person with significant experience in the HR field
to assist with the implementation of these important tasks. The job description for the proposed
classification of Senior Human Resources Analyst is attached.
On May 26, 2011, in line with one of the City's earliest good governance reforms, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-87 to reduce Council members' salaries to $24,996 per
year, effective at the start of each new term beginning April 2012, pursuant to the results of
salary and benefit survey of city Council members of charter cities in the Southern California
area that operate electric utility and/or gas enterprises. Vernon's Independent Reform Monitor,
John Van de Kamp, has since repeatedly urged the City Council to reduce the salaries of all
Council members immediately, rather than under the staggered schedule originally adopted.
Two new terms have taken effect through the April 2012 and April 2013 general municipal
elections. On October 23, 2012, Luz Martinez was officially declared the winner of the June 5,
2012 special municipal election to fill the unexpired term of former Mayor Hilario Gonzales, and
voluntarily elected to immediately receive the reduced salary of $24,996. As such, three Council
members are currently receiving the $24,996 salary. On June 4, 2013, the City Council directed
staff to place a resolution on the next meeting agenda to effectuate the immediate reduction of
the salary of remaining Council members. Said resolution has been placed on the June 18, 2013
to enact a salary of $24,996 per year for all five current Council members effective July 1, 2013.
Provided that resolution is adopted, the resolution proposed in this staff report should also reflect
the respective change.
Some of the City's current classifications are gender -specific, including the classification of
"councilman." It is recommended that the City amend said classifications to gender -neutral
terms, beginning with "Council member. All other gender -specific classifications will be
updated at a future date, as part of a new classification plan that will be developed through the
classification and compensation study currently underway.
Because the Personnel Resolution currently in place applies to fiscal year 2012-2013 only, a new
Personnel and Salary Resolution needs to be adopted. Rather than adopt a new resolution each
fiscal year, it is recommended that the resolution proposed in this staff report take effect July 1,
2013, and remain in effect unless or until a new resolution is deemed necessary and subsequently
adopted. Amendments to the resolution can be made as needed. The proposed Personnel and
Salary resolution shall not affect or alter the existing compensation of any other officer or
employee not specifically set forth herein.
Fiscal Impact
The approximate cost for fiscal year 2013-2014 to implement the 3% salary increase for the
Police Department is $138,000.
The approximate cost for fiscal year 2013-2014 to implement the 3% salary increase for the Fire
Department is $210,000.

$86,460.
The approximate savings for fiscal year 2013-2014 to implement the remaining city council
salary reductions is $61,700.
The approximate total cost for fiscal year 2013-2014 to implement all changes proposed in this
staff report is $372,760.
All costs and savings have been included in the respective departmental budgets for the proposed
citywide budget for fiscal year 2013-2014.
