AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Revisions to Contracts for Lodi Executive
Management Employees (Excluding Council Appointees) for the Period January 1,
2020 through December 31, 2022
MEETING DATE: January 15, 2020
SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving revisions to contracts for Lodi Executive
Management employees (excluding Council Appointees) for the
period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION- The City has successfully negotiated contracts with all of the Mid -
Management bargaining units providing amendments to
compensation and benefits through 2022. Staff is requesting that
the Executive Management employees be extended similar
amendments as extended to all Lodi Mid -Managers.
Staff is requesting the following compensation and benefit changes for the Community Development
Director (recruitment in progress), the Library Director, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services
Director (recruitment in progress), and the Public Works Director:
■ Four percent (4%) salary adjustment, effective January 13, 2020;
• One percent (1%) salary adjustment, effective July 13, 2020;
■ Five percent (5%) salary adjustment, effective January 11, 2021;
• Five percent (5%) salary adjustment effective January 10, 2022;
• Employees agree to additional cost-sharing of the employer's normal contribution toward
CalPERS, pursuant to Government Code Section 20516 with a one percent (1%) contribution
effective July 13, 2020, one percent (1%) contribution effective January 11, 2021, and an
additional one percent (1%) contribution effective January 10, 2022.
Staff is requesting the following compensation and benefit changes for the Deputy City Manager and the
Electric Utility Director:
• Seven percent (7%) salary adjustment, effective January 13, 2020;
• One percent (1%) salary adjustment, effective July 13, 2020;
• Five percent (5%) salary adjustment, effective January 11, 2021;
• Five percent (5%) salary adjustment effective January 10, 2022;
• Employees agree to additional cost-sharing of the employer's normal contribution toward
CalPERS, pursuant to Government Code Section 20516 with a one percent (11%) contribution
effective July 13, 2020, one percent (1%) contribution effective January 11, 2021, and an
additional one percent (1%) contribution effective January 10, 2022.
APPROVED:
Stephen Schwa bauer, nager
The slightly higher actions for these two positions are to maintain salary differentials with classifications
reporting to the Electric Utility Director and to maintain existing parity between the Electric Utility Director
and the Deputy City Manager.
Staff recommends that the Council approve the revisions to compensation and other benefits for
Executive Management Employees.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total long term annual cost of the proposed revisions is $300,000, of
which $55,000 is applicable to FY 2019/20; $100,000 is applicable to FY
2020/21; and $145,000 is applicable to FY 2021/22.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Budget adjustments for these increases will be needed at Mid Year Fiscal
Year 2019/20. Vacancy savings are the first source for funding the
increases for this and future employee contract changes. These savings
have been significant in the past three years allowing the City to build up
substantial reserves. In Fiscal Year 2018/19, the General Fund ended the
year with over $1.5 million above its 16% fund balance reserve target.
Vacancy savings and these reserves will likely be necessary to finance a
portion of salary increases. Staff will first seek to prioritize Pension
Stabilization Reserves held at PARS or OPEB stabilization reserves held in
separate trust at CalPERS to pay eligible costs in order to preserve locally
held economic and catastrophic reserves should actual reserves be
needed. Staff will seek Council input prior to any use of reserves.
