The City's compensation plan for the appointed officials as well as all management positions is based on performance. Performance evaluations were conducted for the appointed officials in closed session on June 8, 1992. As part of that evaluation process Council determined appropriate salary adjustments. Those adjustments were originally scheduled for formal adoption by the Council at their June 30, 1992 regular meeting. Since the City was in the midst of salary negotiations with the General Employee Unit, SLOCEA, and since it was unclear at that time what action the state would be taking, it was determined that the appointed official salary adjustments should be placed on hold. An exception, the salary for the City Clerk was adjusted in September of 1992 since the former City Clerk was resigning and entitled to a salary adjustment from April of 1992 until her effective date of resignation. The Council went ahead and retroactively adjusted her salary at the same time they approved her interim work assignment. Council approved a two year compensation package for SLOCEA in late August, 1992. Consistent with the Council's current policy and contractual obligations to honor its negotiated agreements with City employees, the adjustments to Appointed Officials' salaries is appropriate at this time. As directed by the Council following its closed session of June 8, 1992, staff is presenting the following salary adjustments: CITY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER Council has recommended a 3% increase for the CAO based upon performance and the provisions of the Compensation Plan. An alternative the Council could 2- iui��01�1►11111111111° �IIIIIII city of San IDIS OBISpo Mown COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Page 2 consider acceptable to the CAO is to grant a 2 1/2% salary increase consistent with the salary increase received by the SLOCEA for 1992-93. This represents an increase in.salary from $7,300 to $7,483 per month and is reflected in the attached resolution, though the Council could change it back to the original 3% or $7520 per month. This resolution supersedes Resolution No. 6993 (1991 Series). Resolution 6198 (1987 Series), Employment Agreement, remains in full force and effect, with the following modification: "In the event Mr. Dunn's employment is terminated by the Council, or a majority of the Counciirequesthis resignation, during such time that he is willing and able to perform the duties of City Administrative Officer, the City agrees to pay him a lump sum cash payment equal to six (6) months compensation (salary and all appointed officials' fringe benefits). Should Mr. Dunn obtain employment during the six (6) month period following termination, he shall reimburse the City proportionately." The language appearing in italics is an addition to the severance provision that is currently in force having been adopted by Council in 1987. CITY ATTORNEY The current monthly salary of $6,300 shall be increased to $6,575 effective April 9, 1992 for the City Attorney. This represents a 4.3% increase which is in keeping with Council action in April of 1992 that recognized that the salary range for City Attorney was considerably lower than those for other San Luis Obispo management positions when compared to our survey cities. This resolution supersedes Resolution No. 6994 (1991 Series). Resolution No. 6689 (1989 Series) employment agreement, remains in full force and effect with the following modification: "In the event Mr. Jorgensen's employment is terminated by the Council, or a majority of the Council request his resignation, during such time that he is willing and able to perform the duties of the City Attorney, the City agrees to pay him a lump sum cash payment equal to six (6) months compensation (salary and all appointed officials fringe benefits). Should Mr. Jorgensen obtain employment during the six (6) month period following termination, he shall reimburse the City proportionately." 2 - II��'�7in►►il�iIIIIIIIlIi1° IIUIh City of San Luis OBlspo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Page 3 This represents an increase to six (6) months from the previous agreement of four (4) months severance pay bringing the City Attorney's agreement in line with the six month provisions for the CAO and the recently appointed City Clerk. The phrase in italics, as for the CAO, is new wording and appears in all three appointed officials' agreements. All benefits and rights included in the Managerial Compensation Plan, Resolution No. 6604 (1989 Series), shall remain in effect. It is important to note that annual salary adjustments are still in effect throughout the organization by virtue of contracts negotiated with all employee associations. Thus, the Council's recommended increases are consistent with and in many cases less than, other negotiated adjustments. If, however, citywide salary "freezes" or "rollbacks" are eventually identified as components of a plan adopted to further reduce personnel costs, the salaries of the CAO, City Attorney, and management team members could be modified consistent with those plans. However, it is recommended that moderate salary adjustments be implemented at this time in order to maintain compensation levels consistent with the marketplace. FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost for these changes is approximately $7,425 effective April 8, 1992 through FY1992-93 and is available in the Departmental budgets. RECOMMENDATIONS: Adopt resolutions adjusting salaries for the appointed positions of City Administrative Officer and City Attorney. These adjustments are in accordance with previously adopted resolutions that establish the City's Managerial Compensation Plan that applies to Appointed Officials.
