Mr. Tripepi reported that staff has not had a salary increase in years and according to survey taken of other cities, some of our positions are on the bottom of the scale. Mr. Tripepi is recommending a 3% COLA, 5% merit increase for all staff, full and part-time, effective July 1, 1998; a promotion in the Finance Director's position; and, bring the salaries of the Senior Maintenance Men, Park Maintenance Men, and Community Service positions in line with salaries paid in other communities. Mr. Tripepi stated that the Parks and Recreation Director was asked to survey his department to determine whether or not everyone was working within their job classification. One maintenance person is restricted to certain working conditions, such as requiring indoor duties and not working outdoors on Holidays, and he cannot perform all the tasks that the position requires. Mr. Tripepi recommends that that person remain at the Community Center and reclassify that position to a Recreation Center Custodian. Councilman Taylor requested further information on the increase in annuities. Mr. Tripepi responded that some of the increases were due to the 2% at 55 amount which impacted the budget by $48,000; and PERS has the largest increase at 17.06% increase, and that some items remained at zero. Mr. Tripepi stated that the total increase to the budget is $153,930; which includes FICA, Medicare, Insurances, Workers Compensation, LTD, unemployment insurance and PERS. BudgeC6-9-98 Page 03 n U Councilman Taylor stated that there is not enough information in their packet to explain the increases. Karen Ogawa, Finance Director, added that this amount reflects the COLA and merit adjustments as well. Councilman Taylor asked if the reclassified positions will receive merit increases. Mr. Tripepi, stated for the record, that the 5% merit increase does not include the two senior maintenance men, maintenance men, and the two Community Service positions. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM VASQUEZ that the Council approve the 3% COLA and 5% Merit Increases for all staff; a promotion in the Finance Director's position; and, increase the salaries of the Senior Men, Maintenance Men, and Community Service positions to reflect a median range of other cities in the area. Vote resulted: Yes: Clark, Imperial, Vasquez, Bruesch No: None Absent: None Abstain: Taylor The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Councilman Taylor stated that he abstained as there is not enough information tonight and request a complete report on the annuities. There being no further action to be taken at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted: City Clerk APPROVED: MAYOR BudgeC6-9-98 Page #4
