STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR ANDCITY COUNCIL
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2023
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF ADJUSTMENT TO SALARY AND BENEFITS FOR
CITY CLERK BASED ON SALARY AND BENEFIT CHANGES
APPROVED TO EMPLOYEE GROUPS AND ADOPTION OF
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-55 AMENDING THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD'S
SALARY SCHEDULE FROM JULY 1, 2023 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025
TO MEET THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS TITLE 2,
SECTION 570.5 AND 571 TO REFLECT APPROVED RATES
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider the approval of an amendment to the City Clerk's employment
agreement. The amendment will be for a 4% salary increase given to all other employees,
effective July 1, 2023, and a 3% given to all other employees, effective July 1, 2024 and other
benefits.
Pursuant to State law, approval of compensation changes for key executive employees must be
accompanied by a verbal report; hence this item is being placed on the Matters from City
Manager & Staff section of the agenda for consideration. In addition, the California Code of
Regulations (CCR) Section 570.5 and amendments to 571(b) require a consolidated Salary
Schedule that shows all City classifications and salary ranges to determine eligible salary
compensation for retirement be publicly available. Resolution No. 2023-55 is presented for
consideration in accordance with this requirement.
The City Clerk's original employment agreement approved in 2018 and amendments, provides
leave allowances, holidays, and health and welfare insurances matching those in the Executive
Management group. The contract is silent as to compensation increases outside the merit -based
annual evaluation process; therefore, the item must be approved by the Council with a contract
amendment for a Cost of Living increase for year one at 4% and 3% in year two.
Position Current Year One Year Two
City Clerk $128,160 $133,284 $137,280
