CITY CLERK'S OFF FICE CITY ADMINISTRATION
DATE: June 3, 2014
TO: honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator
RE: 1) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY CO CIL OF THE CITY OF
VERNON AMENDING EXHIBIT A OF RESOLUTION NO. 2013-57
REGARDING THE COMPENSATION, COSTS AND BENEFITS OF ITS
EMPLOYEES ("CITYWIDE PERSONNEL AND SALARY
RESOLUTION") (AMENDMENT NO.7)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Find that approval of the proposed resolution in this staff report is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3),
the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the
environment.
2) Contingent upon City Council adoption of the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 budget, adopt the
attached resolution amending Exhibit A — Classification and Compensation Plan, of the
Citywide Personnel and Salary resolution, to be effective June 29, 2014, implementing a
new grade and step pay plan as a result of the Citywide classification and compensation
study based upon the 75`" percentile of the comparable survey labor market for the
classifications designated as "Confidential and Mid -Management". Each employee shall
be placed within his/her classification's new salary grade at the step that is closest to, but
not lower than his/her current base salary.
Background
Effective April 20, 2014, City Council adopted the updated City wide classification plan
(excluding classifications represented by the City of Vernon Firemen's Association) as a result
of the City wide classification study. At that time, no changes were recommended to the
compensation portion of the study because the City is obligated to negotiate over salaries with all
bargaining units pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. In addition, mid -management
classifications designated as exempt from overtime in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards
Act ("FLSA") were placed on hold pending the implementation of any new salary grade tables.
Employees in the classifications designated as "confidential and mid -management" are not
designated for purposes of recognition and representation in collective bargaining, and are
therefore not subject to the provisions of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. City staff has
concluded its review of the proposed compensation plan as a result of the City wide
compensation study conducted by Public Sector Personnel Consultants for classifications
identified as "confidential and mid -management". In addition, department directors, in
conjunction with the Finance Director, have included in their budget presentations to City
Council the proposed salaries at the 75`h percentile range for City Council consideration in the
adoption of the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Citywide budget. Contingent upon City Council adoption
of the proposed FY 2014-2015 budget, which includes the confidential and mid -management
salaries set at the 75`h percentile range, this report recommends City Council approval to amend
the Classification and Compensation Plan to add the new salary grade plan with a five -step pay
scale for the classifications designated as "confidential and mid -management", effective June 29,
2014.
The proposed salary grades are based upon the City wide classification and compensation study
at the 75`11 percentile range of the surveyed labor market. It is recommended that each
confidential and mid -management employee be placed at the step within his/her classification's
new salary grade that is closest to, but not lower than his/her current base salary.
Analysis:
The City of Vernon City Council adopted Salary Plan Administration Policy II-3 on September
17, 2013. The policy of the City wide salary plan is intended to attract, retain, and motivate
highly qualified staff that are necessary to enable the City of Vernon to discharge its obligations
to the community with regard to the quality and timeliness of services provided. Based on the
desire of the City Council to provide high quality services and leadership to the community and
management to the organization, the compensation policy should be postured to pay market
average salary levels at a minimum, with an ideal of paying employees at the 75`h percentile of
the applicable labor market. To this end, the Human Resources staff shall make available to the
City Administrator for consideration in determining pay, the salary grade at the 75`h percentile of
the competitive surveyed rates. The 75`' percentile will be one of several internal and external
factors that the City will use to consider appropriate compensation.
Other factors considered by staff in the recommendation of the appropriate salary level for City
of Vernon employees are as follows:
• The City's financial ability to pay and sustain the recommended salary grade ranges at
the 75`h percentile.
• Ability to attract and retain highly qualified, knowledgeable employees and increase
applicant pool for competitive recruitment processes.
• Reduction in turnover of employees and loss of hard to fill positions to other cities.
• Retention of institutional knowledge.
• City of Vernon is a full service city that provides an array of services that many cities do
not offer: Gas Services, Health Department, three -minute Police Department response
times for Priority 1 calls, Class 1 Fire Department
• The uniqueness and complexity of job content and duties of City of Vernon employees in
comparison to local full service City comparators.
• City of Vernon employees pay 100% of the employee PERS contribution rate; other
