body

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) Government Code sections 20636 and 20636.1 define earnable compensation for State, School, and Public Agency members.  Only compensation that meets the provisions and regulations of the PERL will be considered by CalPERS for calculating retirement benefits.  Government Code section 20636 and 20636.1 require pay schedules to be publicly available.  Compensation earnable is further clarified by California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 570.5.

 

CCR 570.5 specifies the required elements necessary to meet the definition of a publicly available pay schedule as follows: 

 

1.                     Has been duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meeting laws;

 

2.                     Identifies the position title for every employee position;

 

3.                     Shows the payrate for each identified position, which may be stated as a single amount or as multiple amounts within a range;

 

4.                     Indicates the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually;

 

5.                     Is posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer’s internet website;

 

6.                     Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions;

 

7.                     Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; and

 

8.                     Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the payrate.

 

All eight (8) requirements must be met in one schedule for each member’s pay, in order for CalPERS to approve the pay amount as payrate and reportable compensation earnable.  If an agency cannot provide a document meeting the requirements for a publicly available pay schedule, the CalPERS Board, in its sole discretion, may determine an amount that will be considered to be payrate.  CCR 570.5 outlines the process by which CalPERS may determine a member’s payrate when there is no publicly available pay schedule.

As such, and in accordance with the above regulations, the City Manager will present, from time to time, an updated pay schedule for City Council adoption.   

 

Notable changes to the pay schedule since Council’s last review and approval of the schedule on February 19, 2025 per Resolution 2025-018 include:

 

                     Animal Services Officer - title change

                     Associate Transportation Planner - position added

                     Economic Development Director - salary change

                     Electric Utility Director - updated/deleted step 0-3

                     Sr. Electric Utility Resources Analyst - new classification added

                     PT Assoc Transportation Planner - new classification added

                     PT Building Services Worker - new classification added
