Appointees Amending Compensation and Benefits
December 19, 2018
Human Resources
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Adopt Resolution approving revisions to contracts for City of Lodi
Council Appointees amending compensation and benefits.
Over the course of the last three months, Council has approved
successor Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and
Statements of Benefits with various City bargaining units and
extended those same benefit changes to Confidential
Unrepresented employees and Executive Management.
During its meetings on October 30, 2018 and November 7, 2018, Council completed the performance
evaluation process for the Council Appointees, including the City Manager, City Attorney, and the City
Clerk. The Council wishes to provide the Council Appointees with the similar benefits and compensation
amendments as provided to other employees.
A summary of the proposed changes to Council Appointee contracts are as follows:
• Increase to the City's maximum contribution to healthcare premiums by five percent.
• Amend the Flexible 125 plan to provide for carryover of contributions.
• Three percent salary adjustment, effective December 3, 2018, for a three percent employee
contribution (cost-sharing) of the employer's normal contribution toward CaIPERS, pursuant to
Government Code Section 20516. The total employee CaIPERS contribution will be 10 percent.
In addition, during the evaluation process, Council expressed their desire to recognize the additional
duties and responsibilities absorbed by the City Attorney when she assumed the management and
oversight of the Risk Management/Liability Division in December 2016, previously assigned to the Deputy
City Manager. The additional duties and responsibilities over the various programs such as worker's
compensation, general liability, insurance, claims and safety, have resulted in a significant increase in the
Attorney's time and resources allocated to the management of this Division, but did not include additional
compensation. As such, Council desires to compensate the City Attorney for the additional duties and
responsibilities and to increase the City Attorney's salary by five percent, effective November 19, 2018.
It is recommended that the Council approve the revisions to the compensation and other benefits for
Council Appointees as set forth above.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total long term annual cost of the proposed agreement is estimated to
be $14,264 once the PERS cost sharing contract is implemented. For the
APPROVED.
Andrew Keys, Internal Services Director/Deputy City Manager
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
four months prior to the PERS cost sharing implementation, additional cost
will be approximately $8,748 ($2,187 per month) as the 3% salary
adjustment is effective as of December 3, 2018. City Staff will work with
CaIPERS to implement the cost sharing as soon as possible.
It is anticipated that existing appropriations will be sufficient to cover
increased costs due to vacancies throughout the City. Should budget
adjustments be necessary, staff will bring requests to Council with the
midyear budget.
