REPORT <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />June 26, 2017 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />Amendments to the City of Redwood City Salary Plan and Executive Management <br />Summary of Benefits <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Adopt a resolution (1) amending the City's Classification and Salary Plan to reclassify <br />the GIS Coordinator to GIS Manager, to increase salary ranges for Executive <br />Management positions, and to update the salary ranges for casual and contract <br />employees, and (2) amending the Executive Management Summary of Benefits to <br />provide for a reduced pension cost-sharing contribution for miscellaneous employees in <br />the Tier 1 and 2 pension plans <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City Council has adopted a strategic initiative related to government operations, <br />and one of the goals of that initiative is: <br /> <br />Investing in staff leadership, skill development and other human resources <br />strategies to attract, develop, support and retain a highly qualified, valued <br />and diverse municipal workforce. <br /> <br />To address this goal, City staff work closely and collaboratively with the City Council <br />and employee groups to develop recommended salary and benefit changes. When <br />considering such compensation packages for various employee groups, the City <br />considers factors such as the cost of living, recruitment and retention goals, and <br />compensation survey data from comparable Bay Area cities, as well as the current <br />financial condition of the City, and any anticipated fiscal challenges. The City’s salary for <br />executive management and unrepresented positions are typically updated on a fiscal <br />year basis, along with any recommended classification plan changes within represented <br />employee groups. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />8.C. - Page 1
