City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:September 2, 2025
From:Su Tan, Director of Human Resources
Department:Human Resources
Submitted by:Lisette Grizzelle, Human Resources Program Manager
Subject
Classification and Compensation Plan
Recommendation
A. Approve new, retitled and revised job descriptions; and
B. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-022 adopting the Classification and Compensation Plan in
accordance with Government Code Section 20636(b)(1) and repealing Resolution No. 2024-12.
Background
The Human Resources Department is responsible for the maintenance of the Citywide
Classification and Compensation Plan (Plan) which consists of various classification
specifications (job descriptions) as well as the Compensation Schedule that lists the classification
titles and salaries for each classification which are attached to the Plan as Exhibit A.
New, Retitled and Revised Job Descriptions
As part of the annual budget process, Citywide Classification and Compensation Survey findings
and labor negotiations, the Human Resources Department has worked in collaboration with all
bargaining groups and City Departments to update/revise all existing job descriptions and
establish new classifications as appropriate to ensure the City is in compliance and maintains a
competitive position when recruiting and retaining employees. The new, retitled and revised job
descriptions are provided as an attachment to this report with revisions shown in redline
(Attachment 2).
Approval of new and revised Citywide job descriptions to incorporate Citywide Classification and
Compensation Survey findings, market trends, updated duties, minimum qualifications, addition
of new City logo, mandated language related to possession of a driver’s license and emergency
response language.
Classification and Compensation Plan
Approval of the Classification and Compensation Plan to amend the existing plan is proposed to
incorporate the new and revised Citywide job descriptions, approval of the associated salaries,
FLSA designations, job code numbers, as recommended by the Citywide Classification and
Compensation Survey and per the labor negotiations listed on the proposed Classification and
Compensation Plan.
The current Classification and Compensation Plan includes a separate exhibit for each of the
compensation schedules associated with each bargaining group as well as separate exhibits for
unrepresented employees (Exhibits A-G of the current Classification and Compensation Plan).
The proposed Resolution would create one Classification and Compensation Plan with only one
exhibit that would be all-encompassing and reflect uniformity within all salary grades. Having
one compensation schedule for all employees provides equity across all groups and is more
efficient administratively. A redline of the Classification and Compensation Plan is provided as
an attachment to this report for reference (Attachment 3).
Proposed salary grade changes and corresponding monthly salary ranges for executive
classifications, as a result of the Classification and Compensation Survey findings, are listed in
the following chart:

amendments are available in the salary and benefit accounts of the respective City and Public
Utilities Departments for the Fiscal Year 2025-26. Funding for subsequent fiscal years will be
included in future proposed budgets.
