City Manager Approval: _____________
TOPIC: EXTENSION TO RESOLUTION WITH UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEE GROUPS
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING A ONE-YEAR EXTENSION, WITH MODIFICATIONS, OF
THE TERMS OF CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NOS. 14539, 14540, AND 14541,
ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION FOR THE UNREPRESENTED EXECUTIVE
MANAGEMENT AND MID-MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEE GROUPS, AND THE
ELECTED CITY CLERK AND CITY ATTORNEY
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution approving a one-year extension of the compensation resolutions, with recommended
modifications, for the Unrepresented Executive Management and Unrepresented Mid-Management
employee groups and the elected City Clerk and City Attorney.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS:
On June 18, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 14539, 14540, and 14541, establishing the
terms of compensation for, respectively, the Unrepresented Executive Management Employee group,
the Unrepresented Mid-Management Employee Group, and the elected City Clerk and part-time City
Attorney, for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020.
Given the City’s economic hardship resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and associated revenue
losses, it is recommended that all job classes in these unrepresented employee groups and elected
employees receive no wage increase for this next fiscal year. Additionally, staff recommends that, like
the non-public safety represented employees, the non-public safety unrepresented employees and
elected City Clerk and City Attorney should also participate in the 5% furlough wage reductions.
Attachment 1 is a proposed resolution that would extend the termination date of the three 2018
resolutions for one additional year with these recommended modifications.
FI SCAL IMPACT:
The current total annual salary and benefit cost to the City for the recommended action with respect to
the unrepresented employee groups and elected employees is $0. This recommendation is in line with
the City’s COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan that was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,

and related impacts to City revenue sources. The 5% furlough will result in annual savings of
approximately $230,000.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
1. Adopt the resolution approving the modified one-year extension as recommended by staff.
2. Adopt resolution with modifications.
3. Direct staff to return with more information.
4. Take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Adopt resolution.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution extending the terms of Resolution Nos. 14539, 14540, and 14541 for one year with
modifications
