FY 2015-2016 Budget Adoption — New and Revised Classifications
On May 5 and May 19, 2015, as part of the budget adoption process for fiscal year 2015-2016,
City Department Heads reviewed long-term and immediate staffing needs to meet the current
and projected operational needs of their departments and the City.
A public hearing on the fiscal year 2015-2016 budget was held on June 2, 2015. The staff report
outlined the justification process and position allocation for each of the new and revised
classifications listed in this staff report, among other position allocation changes for existing
classifications.
On June 2, 2015, City Council adopted Resolution No.2015-31 approving the budget for fiscal
year 2015-2016. Through the process, the following classifications were approved to be
created/revised and included in the citywide budget for fiscal year 2015-2016: add Assistant Fire

Page 2of7
Supervisor to M26 - $6,238 - $7,582. The job description for each new classification is attached
herewith.
Staff conducted a survey of the new classifications from the twelve local jurisdictions approved
by City Council that were considered comparable to the City of Vernon. The salary survey was
conducted in compliance with the City of Vernon Personnel Policy II-3, Salary Plan
Administration, adopted by City Council on September 17, 2013. The recommended salary
ranges for the new positions are based upon the 75th percentile of the comparable labor market
and are internally aligned with similarly situated job families.
The attached resolution amends Exhibit A of the Citywide Fringe Benefit and Salary Resolution
to add/revise the following classifications and corresponding salary ranges as a result of the
survey analysis:

bargaining units regarding the addition of the various classifications and corresponding salary
ranges for their respective bargaining unit.
Citywide Succession Development — New Unfunded Classifications
A strong succession development program reduces the effect of lost leadership and institutional
knowledge. The program is designed to identify and foster the next generation of leaders
through mentoring, training and assignments to enhance the skills, and abilities of employees.
Department heads continue to identify and develop opportunities for cross -training of employees
and ensure a succession development plan that provides opportunities for employees to grow
while ensuring a competent workforce and sustainability of programs and services offered to
residents and businesses.
As part of the citywide succession development plan, the below unfunded classifications are
recommended as part of career development paths within classification series. The development
of career paths will formulate leadership skills for success in the future and retention of talent.
The job description for each new classification is attached herewith.

Classification and Compensation Plan Updates and Corrections
A Senior Administrative Assistant (Confidential) classification, which is the same as the salary
range for the Senior Administrative Assistant classification ($4,021 - $4,887 per month), needs
to be added to the Classification and Compensation Plan, as the person filling this position will
be assigned, at least 50% of the time, to the Information Technology Division.
A minor correction is necessary to Step 4 of the Police Dispatcher, Lead, which should read
$5,388 per month.
The addition of the existing 40-hour work schedule Administrative Fire Captain hourly range to
the Classification and Compensation Plan in accordance with Government Code Section
20636(b)(1), is also needed.
Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) Related Updates
The City Council adopted the below resolutions approving several Memoranda of Understanding
("MOUs") setting forth certain terms and conditions for employment for classifications
represented by respective employee organizations. Included in the adoption of the MOUs is a
1.5% cost of living increase (excluding certain Y-rated employees) to take effect the pay period
containing July 1, 2015.

Vernon Firemen's Association
The attached resolution is to amend Exhibit A of the Citywide Fringe Benefits and Salary
Resolution incorporating the agreed upon 1.5% cost of living increase made between the City
Council of the City of Vernon and the respective employee organizations effective June 28, 2015
(the beginning of the pay period containing July 1, 2015).
Confidential and Management Employees
Employees in the classifications designated as "confidential and 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.
Page 4 of 7
On June 2, 2015, City Council approved the 1.5% cost of living increase to classifications
designated as `confidential and management" as part of the fiscal year 2015-2016 budget
adoption. This practice is consistent with City Council's previous adoption of the 1.5% cost of
living increase applied on January 1, 2015 to ensure internal equity among classification
relationships and ongoing maintenance of the Citywide Classification and Compensation Plan.
Executive and Council Members
In addition, the adoption of the fiscal year 2015-2016 budget included the 1.5% cost of living
increase for executive classifications effective June 28, 2015. This will ensure internal equity
among classification relationships and avoid compaction among classifications going forward.
The below table provides the salary range consistent with the City's grade and step pay plan, and
the salaries for executive classifications.
*Not Eligible for Premium Pay
** Eligible for Premium Pay
The amendments to Exhibit A of the Citywide Fringe Benefits and Salary Resolution also
include the application of the 1.5% cost of living increase to City Council member salaries.
Pursuant to Chapter 3.11 of the Vernon City Charter, the City Council may only increase the
base compensation of Council members through cost of living adjustments. Effective June 28,
2015, the new monthly base salary for Council members would be $2,146,
This recommendation is consistent with the City Council's application of the 1.5% cost of living
increase previously approved effective January 1, 2015.

Fringe Benefits Section 7 — Sick Leave
The new Paid Sick Leave law enacted by AB1522, Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of
2014, goes into effect July 1, 2015. The new law entitles all part-time and temporary employees
to accrue up to three (3) paid sick days in a 12-month period for the diagnosis, care, or treatment
of an existing health condition or preventative care for an employee or an employee's family
member.
In preparation for the effective changes on July 1, 2015, the City must update its current sick
leave policies and practices to ensure compliance with the Paid Sick Leave Law. As such, the
Paid Sick Leave Law now applies to most any employee, including temporary, extra help, part-
time and seasonal employees who work 30 or more days within a year from when employment
commences.
Part-time and temporary employees shall be eligible to accrue paid sick leave at a rate of at least
one (1) hour per every thirty (30) hours worked beginning on the first date of employment or
July 1, 2015, whichever is later. All employees may accrue up to a maximum of twenty-four
(24) hours (3-days) per 12-month employment year. The Paid Sick Leave Law also requires
employers to allow employees to carry over paid sick days to the following year of employment,
up to an accrual cap of six (6) days/forty-eight (48) hours of sick leave.
The Paid Sick Leave Law exempts employees who are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement since the agreements already provide a paid sick leave policy. The City is not
required to provide additional sick days since the current agreements satisfy the accrual, carry
over, and use requirements of the Paid Sick Leave Law and provide no fewer than three paid sick
days (24 hours) each year for full-time employees.
Fringe Benefits Section 11 — Additions to Automobile Allowance and Reimbursement for
Expenses
In line with similarly situated classifications, it is recommended that the newly created
classifications of Industrial Development Director and Administrative Fire Battalion Chief be
added to the list of employees eligible to receive a monthly automobile allowance or the stated
alternative.
Fiscal Impact
All costs associated with the aforementioned changes have been included in the fiscal year 2015-
2016 budget, and each department presented detailed breakdowns of its respective costs to City
Council during the respective departmental budget study session presentations on May 5 and
May 19, and during the public hearing on June 2, 2015,

applicable regulations for his/her job classification pursuant to City/Departmental
policies.
C. The monetary value of uniforms shall be reported to CalPERS in accordance with
CCR 571(a) and as defined by GC 7522.04(f)
36
Section 22: STAND-BY POLICY
The purpose of the Stand-by Policy is to have employees on stand-by to respond to
major incidents and emergencies during non -working hours which require immediate
attention to availability of qualified individuals with expertise in operating, maintaining,
restoring and repairing the City's technology systems.
A. It is presently anticipated that the need for stand-by is for one (1) Information
Technology staff, with the understanding that actual stand-by staffing, if any,
remains at the discretion of the department head.
B. The Stand-by Policy does not apply to FLSA exempt managers and Executive
staff.
C. Stand-by duty requires that an employee be accessible, available, and physically
able to report to work. The employee must possess a City issued mobile phone
device that remains available for immediate contact. The employee must be
ready, willing, and able to respond to an emergency or incident or request for
assistance based on a pre -arranged schedule. Employees on stand-by must
respond to the mobile phone call immediately and be able to respond to the City
within one (1) hour of being called upon. The department head or designee will
determine if an employee is qualified to perform stand-by duties. The stand by
duty period shall be defined by the Department Head.
D. Employees on "stand—by" shall receive two (2) hours of regular straight time
compensation for each date that the employee is assigned to be on stand-by.
Stand-by time is not counted as hours worked for purposes of overtime
calculation as employees are not restricted in their activities and may engage in
non -work related personal activities. On City -recognized Holidays where City Hall
is closed, employees on stand-by will be compensated four (4) hours of straight
time compensation.
E. An employee assigned to stand-by who is not available to report will be subject to
appropriate disciplinary action, unless the employee provides sufficient notice to
their immediate supervisor of their incapacity to respond prior to the call back so
that appropriate arrangements can be made for stand-by coverage.
When an employee on "stand-by" is called back to the City, he/she shall be
entitled to "stand-by' pay. Call back duty does not occur when an employee is
held over from his/her prior shift, or is working planned overtime. An employee
called back to duty shall be paid a minimum of four (4) hours of pay at the
applicable overtime rate. Time begins when the call back request is received and
ends when the employee returns home. If work is performed remotely, the
employee shall receive hour for hour compensation at the applicable overtime
rate.
37
G. The employee will at limes remain able to immediately respond to any
emergencies.
H. Each employee on stand-by duly is accountable to all of the rules and regulations
of the City.
In the event of a call back, the employee will wear his/her City uniform, if
applicable.
