Schutz to Extend the Term And Clarify Language, but with No Compensation Increase, to Take Effect Upon Adoption Retroactively to August 1, 2017 RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution as presented. BACKGROUND: The current City Manager, Jim Schutz, was appointed to the position on August 1, 2015. At the time of appointment an employment agreement (“Agreement”) defining the terms of his employment as City Manager with the City of San Rafael was also adopted by City Council. The Agreement provides in section 8 that “This Agreement may be amended at any time by mutual written agreement of the City and the City Manager.” Pursuant to the City Manager’s annual performance review and in accordance with section 8 of the Agreement, the City Council and City Manager seek to amend the Agreement between the City Manager and City to clarify certain existing terms and to amend the contract from a fixed five year contract to a rolling three year contract. ANALYSIS: The City Council met with the City Manager in September 2017 for the purpose of conducting his annual performance review. In November, the Mayor and Vice Mayor met with the City Manager to review the performance evaluation. The City Council’s evaluation of the City Manager was very positive. At that time, amendments to the employment agreement were discussed including a desire to extend the end date of the Agreement. In addition, there was a request to clarify certain retirement benefits that were included in the original Agreement. This report provides for the approval of a revised Employment Agreement that resulted from those discussions, attached as Exhibit "A" to the Resolution in this report. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 As proposed in the attached revised Employment Agreement, the revised agreement would take effect upon adoption by the Council, retroactive to August 1, 2017. The terms of employment are largely unchanged from the terms of the original Agreement. All terms remain the same except for the following: • Term: The original term of the Agreement was for five years, from August 1, 2015 to August 1, 2020. The new term is a rolling three year term, beginning retroactively on August 1, 2017 and renewing for another one year term every July 31 unless either the City or City Manager gives notice by May 31 of any year to end the current three year term. If notice of termination is given, then the current three year term will expire without any additional extensions and without the need for any additional notice, unless it is subsequently terminated at an earlier date pursuant to other provisions of the Agreement. (See Attachment 1, Section 3 “Term”). • Pension/Benefits: The following change is included merely to clarify the intention of the original agreement, and is not a substantive change. The original Agreement provided that the City Manager would maintain the pension benefits he had as Assistant City Manager, stating that “his future MCERA pension and retiree health insurance benefits shall be the same as they are at the original date of this Agreement.” These benefits can be found in Section 3.A.2. “Health Insurance for Retirees” of Resolution No. 13741 dated June 16, 2014, and attached as Exhibit A to the revised Agreement. The revised Agreement more clearly specifies the pension benefits guaranteed in the Agreement and references the relevant Resolution to avoid any confusion. The revised Agreement maintains the language allowing a change to these benefits if required by changes to State or Federal law or if current pension vesting rules change, such as through the California voter Initiative process. (See Attachment 1, Section 6 “Security”). FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to this decision as the current budget reflects the cost of total compensation reflected in the Employment Agreement. There is no increase in total compensation from the current City Manager's agreement. OPTIONS: The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter: 1. Adopt resolution as presented. 2. Adopt resolution with modifications. 3. Direct staff to return with more information. 4. Take no action. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution with Proposed revised Employment Agreement with James M. Schutz, including Exhibit A - Resolution No. 13741 dated June 16, 2014.

GOALS AND COMPENSATION DEFINITIONS It is the goal of the City Council to try to achieve a total compensation package for all Executives that is competitive compared to similar cities in our labor market. The survey cities are Fairfield, Hayward, San Leandro, South San Francisco, Alameda, Napa, Novato, and Santa Rosa. The Council's goal is to attract and retain the most qualified Executives in accordance with the City's ability to pay. Total Compensation for survey purposes shall be defined as: Top step salary (excluding longevity pay steps), educational incentive pay, holiday pay, uniform allowance, auto allowance, employer paid deferred compensation (except for such portion that may be part of employee cafeteria plan), employer's contribution towards employees' share of retirement, employer's retirement contribution, employer paid contributions toward insurance premiums for health, life, long term disability, dental and vision plans, Executive Management allowance, and employer paid cafeteria/flexible spending accounts. B. COMPENSATION SURVEYS In order to measure progress towards the above-stated goal, the City shall survey all Executive Management positions in the final year of the Resolution in advance of discussions regarding a successor Resolution. Identified survey positions from other agencies include positions that are filled as well as those that may be unfilled, so long as the position is identified by the survey agency as being on the salary schedule and having a job class description. The appropriate survey positions will be selected for Executive Management positions based upon similar work and similar job requirements. The City shall review the survey data for accuracy and completeness. The City shall provide the survey data to all Executives. C. SALARY INCREASES Effective the pay period including July 1, 2014 , the City will increase base wages for all employees by 30%. Effective the pay period including July 1, 2015, the City will increase base wages for all employees by 3 ,0%. D. CAR ALLOWANCE The monthly car allowance paid to the Executives shall be $350. Executives identified in Exhibit A may be eligible to have use of a city car in lieu of the monthly car allowance at the discretion of the City Manager. 3. INSURANCE Health & Dental Insurance benefits are prorated for part-time employees in accordance with the percentage of full-time work schedule. Domestic partners who are registered with the Secretary of State and same-sex spouses are considered dependents under these benefits. Pertinent taxes will be applied to coverage provided to registered domestic partners and same sex spouses as required by federal and state laws. A. HEALTH INSURANCE 2 1. Health Insurance for Active Employees. Effective January 1, 2009, the City implemented a full flex cafeteria plan for active employees, in accordance with IRS Code Section 125. Active employees participating in the City's full flex cafeteria plan shall receive a monthly flex dollar allowance to purchase benefits under the full flex cafeteria plan. The monthly flex dollar allowance effective with the paycheck of December 15, 2013 is: Employee only: Employee and one dependent: Employee and two or more dependents: $ 589.26 $ 1178.52 $ 1532.08 The monthly flex dollar allowance effective with the paycheck of December 15, 2014 is: Employee only: Employee and one dependent: Employee and two or more dependents: $ 603.99 $ 1207.98 $ 1570.38 Flex dollar allowances shall increase on the December 15th paycheck of each subsequent year by the healthcare component of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as determined by CalPERS on an annual basis. The increase to flex dollar allowances shall not exceed 3% for any given year. The City shall make available to employees an additional flex dollar allowance to fund a basic "employee plus dependent" vision plan to be determined by the City. The City shall contribute to the cost of medical coverage for each eligible employee and his/her dependents, an amount not to exceed the California Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) contribution, as determined by CalPERS on an annual basis. This portion of the monthly flex dollar allowance is identified as the City's contribution towards PEMHCA. The balance of the monthly flex dollar allowance (after the PEMHCA minimum contribution) may be used in accordance with the terms of the cafeteria plan to purchase other benefits or may be converted to taxable income. For example. in calendar year 2010, a single employee 's monthly flex dollar allowance for health is $523.54; of that amount, $105.00 has been designated by CalPERS as the City's monthly PEMHCA contribution. The balance of $418.54 may be used to purchase other coverage as offered through the cafeteria plan or may be converted to taxable income. :3 If an employee has health insurance coverage through a spouse/dependent or a former employer and provides proof of other coverage to the Human Resources Department, the employee may elect to waive the City's health insurance coverage and elect to use flex dollars in accordance with the terms of the cafeteria plan. Miscellaneous Allowance for Employees hired on or before January 1, 2009: The City shall pay to employees hired on or before January 1, 2009 a miscellaneous allowance in an amount equivalent to the difference between the employee's benefit election for coverage under PEMHCA and their flex dollar allowance, if their benefit election under PEMHCA exceeds their flex dollar allowance.
