One of the goals <br />of that initiative is: <br />Investing in staff leadership, skill development and other human resources <br />strategies to attract, develop, support and retain a highly qualified, valued and <br />diverse municipal workforce. <br />To address this goal, City staff work closely and collaboratively with the City Council and employee <br />groups to develop recommended salary and benefit changes. When considering such <br />compensation packages for various employee groups, the City considers factors such as the cost of <br />living, recruitment and retention goals, and compensation survey data from comparable Bay Area <br />cities, as well as the current financial condition of the City, and any anticipated fiscal challenges. <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org <br />244 <br />
