SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE COMPENSATION AND WORKING CONDITIONS
FOR UNREPRESENTED MID -MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES ("MID-MANAGERS'9)
(JULY 19 2014 THROUGH JUNE 309 2016)
BACKGROUND: Since 2008, the City of San Rafael has had to make significant budget balancing
decisions to deal with the impacts of the national recession. Some of the personnel -related steps taken to
help address the City's deficit include work furloughs and/or pay reductions, an early retirement program,
a hiring freeze, layoffs and other actions. Management employees have participated in the same
concessions that were negotiated and agreed to with the bargaining units in an effort to reduce costs
during years of significant budget deficits. During fiscal year 2011-2012, management employees
participated in concessions equal to a 4% reduction in Total Compensation. The most recent resolution,
which is effective through June 30, 2014, restored the 4% reduction and provided a modest increase in
benefits (equivalent to less than 1 % of compensation).
The City recognizes that employees have made significant concessions over the years due to the impacts
of the recession, and that over the past two years the City's financial status has been improving. This
Resolution provides an increase in compensation to the Mid -Management Employees who have not
received a salary increase in six years, since July 2008.
ANALYSIS:
The following reflects highlights of the resolution for the Mid -Management employees, consistent with the
guidelines authorized by the City Council.
1. Term of the Resolution: July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2016
2. Salary Increase: Mid -Managers in this group will receive a 3.0% salary increase effective July 1,
2014 and a 3.0% increase effective July 1, 2015
3. Management Allowance: Mid -Managers will receive an additional one-time contribution of .36% of
annual base salary in July 2014 and July 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The agreement will result in an increase of 3.0% of base salary for each year of this agreement in addition
to a one-time contribution of 0.36% in July 2014 and July 2015.

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 as of January 1, 2014 is:

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 CaIPERS o

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
;z�mployee's monthly flex dollar allowance for health is $523.54, of that amount, $105.00 has

be converted to taxable income.
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.
