RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2006-307 amending the Management Salary Structure.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Background
On November 18, 1997, the City Council authorized the City Manager to administer a formal
Performance Management and Compensation System for employees in management classifications.
Consistent with the direction of the City Council, staff recommended a new system which is comprised
of two major components:
• Performance Management - emphasizing an employee development approach to
performance appraisal through continuous coaching/feedback which is comprised of:
0 Alignment of individual contributions with organizational direction
0 Development and demonstration of competencies in the job, and
0 Measurement of levels of accomplishment of goals
• Compensation - Established on a market-based approach to compensation comprised of:
0 Market based salary structure
0 A base pay program which rewards the development and demonstration of
competencies in the job, and
0 An incentive pay program which rewards the measurable achievement of specific
goals
Any compensation increases granted under the program (either in base pay or incentive pay) are based
on performance. One intent of the program is to align the goals of the City departments and individual
management employees with the goals of the City Council, in conjunction with the City's usual
business cycle which operates on a fiscal year basis.
Management Salary Structure: The key element of the employee base pay program is the base pay
structure. Covering all management jobs, the base pay structure reflects competitive pay levels for
jobs assigned to each pay grade and provides the basis for equitable pay decisions. Each year, the base
pay structure is reviewed to ensure that salaries for management employees in the City of Carlsbad
remain competitive with salaries paid by other local agencies.
A group of eleven public agencies is used as the salary comparator group for surveying management
positions. Management positions within the City of Carlsbad are benchmarked against similar
positions in these comparator agencies based on the availability of relevant salary information. The
design for the compensation system calls for an annual survey of these comparator agencies in order to
maintain current market salary data. This survey was conducted and the data compiled for the 2006-07
fiscal year. This market salary data was then analyzed by City staff.
I
The City Council's philosophy has been to set management salaries at an elevated position in the
market among agencies in the comparator group, and to reflect the salary increases granted in these
agencies over the past year. Therefore, it is staffs recommendation that the management salary
structure be adjusted upward by an average of 4.4%, with salary grades one through eight being
adjusted from 4% to 5% depending on the external market movement. These adjustments to the
management salary structure reflect the aforementioned movement in the external salary market and
will not result in salary increases for any individual management employees. These range adjustments
are made before any base pay increases are calculated.
Attachment A of Exhibit 1, the Management Salary Structure, has been updated to reflect the
recommended salary structure movement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as a result of adjusting the Management Salary Structure.
