November 29th, 2021
Good
Afternoon,
I
am requesting a copy of San
Luis Obispo's
Employee Compensation Report for the 2020 calendar year under the provisions of California Govt. Code §§
6250 ‐ 6270, the California Public Records Act.
The
purpose of this request is to obtain records which provide a complete and comprehensive account of
San Luis Obispo's
total costs associated with employee full names and compensation. Specifically, this request seeks an
accounting, by full name and job title, of total gross wages paid to each employee and the total cost incurred
by the employer for providing retirement and
health benefits.
Note that the
State Controller’s “Government Compensation in California” report does not contain the names of
employees and therefore does not satisfy this request.
As
a reminder, per Gov. Code § 6252(e) and § 6254.9(d), public records are defined broadly to encompass,
among other things, all information stored in a computer database.
In
an effort to standardize how this information is reported, please include the following categories in your
response:
Employee Name (full
name, including first and last)
2
Position/Job Title
(“City Manager”, “Police Officer”, etc.)
Annual Salary Minimum
& Maximum
Total Regular Pay
Overtime Pay
Other Pay (any additional
forms of pay that are not reported in Regular Pay)
Total Retirement
Cost (All forms of employer‐paid retirement contributions, deferred compensation, etc., including
Unaccrued Actuarial Liability if applicable)
Total Health Cost
(All forms of employer‐paid health and welfare benefits, such as health, dental and vision insurance
benefits.)
In
the event San
Luis Obispo is
not in possession of a record of this nature, we request copies of any other record or records that contain
information, even if only in part, that is responsive to the purpose of this request — employee name in
conjunction with their compensation data for
the 2020 year.
Please
3
provide the requested materials or, per § 6253(c), a timeline along which they will be made available by, no
later than ten days from the date of this request.
Per
§ 6253.9(a), we ask that you provide the records in an Excel
spreadsheet format.
As
a reminder, § 6253.1 instructs public agencies to "assist
requester in finding records and information that are responsive to the request or to the purpose of the
request."
It
is not necessary to prepare a boilerplate PDF document response sent to us as an attachment to email in
order to respond with your ETA. We are happy to accept a simple response giving us the estimated date
you will be able to provide the data requested.
Please
feel free to contact me with any questions that you might have.
Thank
you.
