ITEM EXPLANATION During the past few years, the annual request for a cost-of-living adjustment by the classified employees of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District is based on data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CPI information for the San Diego area is only published on a semi- annual basis. Due to the lack of timely information for the San Diego area, the District has used the consumer price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) for greater Los Angeles. District staff would contact the Bureau in June of each year. The CPI data would then be used in the development of salaries that were to become effective on July 1st of that year. Due to issues regarding the consolidation of City and District operations, the process has been delayed this year. In mid June of 1991, the Bureau was contacted and the CPI-U had increased 4.8% over the previous year (April ‘90 to April ‘91). This is the basis for the request made by the classified employees. Staff is recommending that the Board of Directors grant the 4.8% cost-of-living adjustment to all classified employees effective with the pay period that began on July 1, 1991. FISCAL IMPACT The annual increase in classified employee’s salaries from this proposed action is approximately $52,500. In the development of the 1991-92 budget, a 5.0% cost-of living adjustment was used to determine future salaries. Therefore, sufficient funds are included in the current year’s budget Exhibits Resolution No.? s’i approving classified employees cost-of-living adjustment for the 1991-92 fiscal year. -.
