CC - Item IV H - Salary Adjustment For Director Of Finance/Management6F
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 4, 2002
RE: SALARY ADJUSTMENT FOR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE / MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
For some time now, we've had two of our Department Managers who have been operating at less
than Department Manager wages. Specifically, I am speaking of Karen Ogawa, Director of
Finance / Management Information Systems and Brad Johnson, Director of Planning.
As you may recall, we promoted both of these people into Department Head status without any
prior experience in such a position. The understanding was that each would be paid a lower
salary and allowed to grow into the position. I think all of you will agree that each has done so
admirably. We now have two top managers who are making outstanding contributions to
Rosemead's management team, and as such, should be compensated accordingly.
Therefore, I am recommending that we adjust Karen's and Brad's salary accordingly. My
recommendation on the attached sheet places them in the range that these two positions are being
paid in cities of comparable size with comparable responsibilities.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Rosemead City Council approve the salary adjustment for Karen
Ogawa and Brad Johnson as outlined on the attached schedule, retroactive to April 1, 2002.
