A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING AMENDMENT TO SECTION 7(b) OF THE LODI
CITY MANAGER'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, Section 7(b) of the Lodi City Manager's current employment
contract states that the City Manager shall at all times be the highest-paid City
employee; and
WHEREAS, for purposes of this section, pay is measured as including salary,
health benefits and retirement benefits (deferred compensation and PERS); and
WHEREAS, due to the widening gap between the PERS rates for Miscellaneous
employees (i.e., City Manager) and Safety employees (i.e., Police and Fire Chiefs), a
proposal is before Council to revise this provision; and
WHEREAS, PERS retirement rates for Fiscal Year 2015/16 are 19.994 percent
for Miscellaneous employees and 40.870 percent for Safety employees; and
WHEREAS, the proposal presented to the City Council is to remove the
reference to PERS retirement benefits from the method of measuring the
City Manager's compensation; and
WHEREAS, removal of the PERS retirement component from the calculation of
pay in the City Manager's contract for this purpose will allow for competitive salaries in
the noted Safety positions without forcing an increase in the City Manager's pay.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
approve amending Section 7(b) of the Lodi City Manager's Employment Agreement
dated June 4, 2014, to remove the reference to PERS retirement benefits from the
method of measuring the City Manager's pay.
Dated: October 21, 2015
