AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution approving Cost of Living Increases for Confidential Employees.
MEETING DATE: Wednesday, July 7, 2004
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve cost of living increases for
confidential employees.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi endeavors to compensate employees in a manner
that allows us to recruit — and retain — a talented and proficient workforce. Recently the City completed
negotiations with the General Services bargaining unit. Confidential -designated employees' salaries are
aligned to this bargaining unit, and have received the same cost of living increases as General Services
in the past. In order to maintain their salary alignments with General Service employees, it is important
that they receive the same cost of living increases. Therefore, it is requested that Council approve the
following cost of living increases through 2005 for confidential employees (Administrative Cleric — Conf.,
Administrative Secretary — Conf., Deputy City Clerk, Human Resources Technician, Legal Secretary and
Secretary to the City Manager):
