SUBJECT: Confidential Employees' Compensation Adjustments
CAO RECOM MUMATION
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 secretaries to the City Administrative
Officer, City Attorney and Personnel Director and the Personnel Assistant are the confidential
employees. Due to the clerical nature of their classifications and the similarity of their positions to
those represented by the San Luis Obispo City Employees' Association ( SLOCEA), staff recommends
extending to the confidential employees the same salary adjustments as SLOCEA has agreed to which
is 3% effective January 1, 1997 and 3.5% effective January 1, 1998.
It is further recommended that the confidential employees monthly contribution of $400 from the City
for health msuzwce premiums be increased to $415 effective January 1, 1998.
FISCAL IMPACT
The costs associated with this recommendation are $4,900 in year one and $6,300 in year two. There
are sufficient funds in the fund balance for year one expenses. Year two costs will be appropriated
as part of the 1997 -99 budget process.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not approve the resolution and/or modify the staff recommendation. This is not recommended as
the proposed compensation adjustments are consistent with the direction provided to staff by the
Council in closed session on January 7, 1997 and are in line with what other comparable positions
within the City have negotiated through the collective bargaining process.
