SUBJECT: CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION
ADJUSTMENTS
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution adjusting compensation for the City of San Luis Obispo Confidential
Employees.
DISCUSSION
The City's confidential employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit in
accordance with the Government Code and therefore do not formally negotiate with the City with
regards to their compensation and terms and conditions of employment. The clerical support to
the City Administrative Officer, City Attorney and Human Resources Director and the Human
Resources Specialist are the confidential employees. Due to the similarity of these positions with
those represented by the San Luis Obispo City Employees Association (SLOCEA) staff
recommends extending to the confidential employees a similar total compensation adjustment as
Council has authorized for SLOCEA.
In recognition of the specific interests of this group the following adjustments are recommended:
• Salary increases of 2% effective the first full pay period in January 2004 and 1% effective
the first full pay period in July 2004.
• $10 per month increase to the City's contribution to the cafeteria plan increasing their
total monthly contribution $540 effective December 1, 2003.
Although the specific components of this economic package vary slightly from the SLOCEA
one-year agreement the Council approved on February 3, 2004, the costs in proportion to the total
compensation for each group are the same.
FISCAL IMPACT
The confidential employees' total compensation is approximately $266,600. The cost of this
resolution is approximately $6,500, with ongoing annual costs of approximately $7,700.
Adequate funding for this increase is currently available in the MOA adjustment account.
ALTERNATIVES
The confidential employees could be asked to receive an identical package as was agreed to by
SLOCEA. However; the package as proposed above more closely meets their individual needs

and is responsive to their particular interests at this time. Although not required, the confidential
employees have indicated that the proposed package is acceptable to them. It has been the City's
practice in establishing compensation with employees to tailor the adjustments for the various
employee groups, whether represented or unrepresented, to the specific interests of each group
within broad Council parameters. This proposal accomplishes that.
