MEETING DATE: May 31,2006
PREPARED BY: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Establish a recruitment salary control point of $6.540 per
month which allows for a salary range of $5,932 - $7,210 per
month to be used in recruitment material for a new City
Clerk.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Attached is a memorandum prepared by Human Resources
Management Analyst Babette Davis evaluating the relative
differences and similarity of job duties for the Clerk of the
cities of Lodi, Davis, Modesto, and West Sacramento. Usina the above cities as comparison, taking into
account job duties, qualifications, and performance expectations, a competitive salary for Lodi, lies from
$5,932 to $7,210 per month.
It is recommendedthat this salary range be used for recruitment purposes and that flexibility be allowed if
the Council, upon conclusion of the recruitment process, feels that an exceptionally qualified candidate
demands a higher level of compensation. By publishing this salary control point and the salary range,
most candidates will have a clear indication of the City's compensation expectation.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed salary should allow Lodi to attract an experienced and skilled
candidate necessaryfor municipal operations, yet falls within the City's ability to pay.
