(ORDINANCE NO. 12187 C.M.S.) TO INCREASE THE SALARIES OF
UNREPRESENTED EMTLOYEE JOB CLASSWICATIONS
SUMMARY
The attached ordinance amends the Salary Ordinance (Ordinance No. 4-127 C.M.S.) to increase the
salaries of unrepresented employee job classifications. The ordinance amendment would increase the
salary rangs of unrepresented job classifications by six percent effective retroactive to July 6, 2002;
three percent effective June 21, 2003; and, one percent effective July 3, 2004. The amounts of increase
are the same as what the City Council recently approved for non-sworn, represented employee job
classifications for Fiscal Years '02-'03, 'Os-'o+, and '04@-'05 respectively. The increases for
unrepresented manager and director classifications in Fiscal Years'03-'O,@ and'04-'05 would be applied
to incumbents based on performance reviews conducted in April of'04 and '05, respectively.

DISCUSSION
The City has consistently granted salary increases to unrepresented employeejob classifications that
are comparable to those approved for represented employee job classifications. All non-sworn,
represented employee job classifications are to receive a six percent increase effective July 6, 2002; a
three percent increase effective June 21, 2003; and a one percent increase effective July 3, 2004,
pursuant to the recently concluded negotiations for successor Memoranda of Understanding(NIOUs).
Subsequent pay increases are included in the new MOUs for Fiscal Years'05-'06,'06-'07, and'o-1 -o8,
but are not included in this amendment to salaries for unrepresented employeejob classifications. The
Council may decide whether to provide these subsequent increases to unrepresented employee job
classifications as part of budget deliberations for those fiscal years.
The increases contained in the attached ordinance amendment reflect the negotiated settlement reached
with represented groups, which included consideration ofincreases to the cost of living and increases
granted to employees at comparable public agencies. In the past these increases have not been based on
,.merit" or "performance" considerations which are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may vary by
employee. However, based on Council's interest in tying increases for managers and directors to
performance, the increases for Fiscal Years '03-'O+ and'04-'06 would only be applied to incumbents in
those classifications after the annual review of the@r performance in April of'04 and'05, respectively. In
other words, the pay scale for the manager and director classifications would increase, but the salary for
incumbents in those classifications would only increase based on the performance review. This would
not apply to unrepresented employees in administrative, non-managerial classifications, who would
receive the increases as the pay for their classifications changed. Granting the same increases to
unrepresented employee job classifications maintains alignment between represented and
unrepresented salary scales and avoids potential anomalies between manager/supervisor and
subordinate salaries.
Other changes in compensation related to employee retirement contributions that apply to
miscellaneous represented employees would also apply to these unrepresented bargaining units.
ENVIRONMENTAL OPPORTUNITIES
There are no environmental opportunities or impacts associated with approval of this ordinance.
DISABILITY AND SENIOR CITIZEN ACCESS
There is no impact on residents with disabilities and/or senior citizens relative to accessibility.
RECOMNIENDATION AND RATIONALE
The City Council should approve salary increases for unrepresented employee job classifications for
Fiscal Years'02203,'03-'04, and'O+-'05 consistent with increases authorized for rei)resented eninlovee
job classifications for the same period. Such action would be consistent with how Council has treated
unrepresented employees in prior years and would serve to avoid misalignment of salaries. Based on
Council's interest in rving the increases for managers and directors to performance, the application of
these increases to incumbents in manager and director classifications for Fiscal Years'03204 and'04-
'05 would be based on their annual performance reviews in April of'04 and '05, respectively
