COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Revisions to the City Manager's Employment Contract
Amending Compensation and Benefits
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2022
PREPARED BY: Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt Resolution Approving Revisions to the City Manager's Employment
Contract Amending Compensation and Benefits.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the course of the last twelve 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 November 16, 2022 and November 29, 2022, Council completed the performance
evaluation process for the City Manager. In addition, Council reviewed salary survey data from our sixteen
survey agencies for the position of City Manager. The City of Lodi's salary for City Manager is approximately
10% below average, and approximately 14.5% below median. The Council wishes to provide the City Manager
with an increase in compensation, similar to what was provided to other employees, and that is commensurate
for the position. The salary increase will also provide an equity adjustment to get the base compensation closer
to median of comparative agencies.
A summary of the proposed changes to the City Manager's contract are as follows:
• Increases to the City Manager's salary as follows:
• Six percent (6%) increase effective January 9, 2023,
• Five percent (5%) increase effective January 8, 2024, and
• Four percent (4%) increase effective January 6, 2025.
• Equity adjustment of two point six one percent (2.61 %) increase effective January 9, 2023.
• Increase to the City's contribution towards medical premiums and remain over the term of the contract:
• $ 2,005.52 per month for family coverage;
• $ 1,542.71 per month for employee plus one dependent coverage; and
• $ 771.35 per month for employee only coverage.
• Increase to the annual maximum dental benefit from $1,000 to $1,250 and the addition of orthodontia benefits
for the employees and eligible dependents with a lifetime maximum benefit of $1,250.
• Addition of one fixed holiday in observance of Juneteenth.

Stephen Schwabauer, City Manager
It is recommended that the Council approve the increases to compensation and benefits for the City Manager
as set forth above.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total long term annual cost of the proposed agreement is $59,000. The total
cost of the term of the agreement is $162,000 as shown below.
Fiscal Year 2022/23
$ 13,750
Fiscal Year 2023/24
$ 37,750
Fiscal Year 2024/25
$ 51,500
Fiscal Year 2025/26
$ 59,000
Total Cost 3 ears
$ 162,000
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Budget adjustments for these and other compensation increases for City
employees may be needed at Mid Year Fiscal Year 2022/23. Vacancy savings
are the first source for funding the increases for this and future employee contract
changes in the coming Fiscal Year. These savings have been significant in the
past three years allowing the City to build up substantial reserves. These reserves
may be necessary to finance a portion of salary increases. Staff will first seek to
prioritize Pension Stabilization Reserves held at PARS to pay eligible pension
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. tom}
