TITLE: ITG. a.la-oa REVISED HOURLY SALARY SCHEDULE Adopt Resolution No. ma- 049 revising the Hourly Salary. ITEM EXPLANATION: Effective January 1,2002, the State of California’s minimum wage rose to $6.75 per hour. In reviewing the impacts of the new minimum wage on hourly salaries, staff also conducted the annual salary survey of hourly positions in comparable local government agencies to ensure that the City’s hourly wage rates were competitive. As a result of these two factors, a revised hourly salary schedule reflecting both the new minimum wage increase and recommended market adjustments is being submitted for Council’s consideration and approval. A strikeout version of the recommended salary range increases is attached for your reference. Overall, the salary market for hourly employment has remained stable for most jobs since the last hourly wage study conducted one year ago except in two areas. Recommended Adjustments: The market has increased for specialized skilled jobs in the Aquatics area for the positions of Lifeguard, InstructorLifeguard, Specialty Instructor and Senior Instructor/Lifeguard. These positions have historically been difficult to recruit for and the market for these types ofjobs is highly competitive. Therefore, all the salary ranges in this category have been recommended for increase in order to provide the flexibility to pay at a higher level to recruit and retain experienced staff. Staff recommends that the top of the Lifeguard range be increased from $10.50 to $12.00 per hour, the top of the InstructorLifeguard range increase from $13.00 to $15.00, the top of the Specialty Instructor range increase from $14.00 to $16.00, and the top of the Senior Instructor Lifeguard range increase from $16.00 to $18.00. The market study also found movement in the salary range for Library Technician. Incumbents in these positions are supervisors during after-hours and weekend shifts in our Libraries. These positions have become increasingly crucial since Library hours were extended as a service to the public. Therefore, staff is recommending the top of the salary range for Library Technician be increased from $16.00 to $18.00. Twenty-six hourly employees in Recreation and Engineering have been given mandatory increases to raise their hourly rate to the new minimum wage of $6.75. The cost of these mandatory increases is approximately $ 5,500 for the remainder of the fiscal year and has been funded by the department’s existing block budgets. Any additional increases are discretionary and are determined and awarded by the departments based on their current budgets. I FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact, as the departments will fund the mandatory increases with their existing block budgets. EXHIBITS: 1. Strikeout version of Revised Hourly Salary Schedule 2.
