AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 3,1997
SUBJECT:
Revisions to the Personnel System (Report Prepared by: Lou Ann
Riera- Texeira, Assistant to the City Manager)
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: 1. Resolution Establishing a Salary Plan for Part-Time Personnel
2. Resolution Establishing a Salary Plan for Full-Time Personnel
'"' ~r-I3. Resolution Amending the Personnel Rules
RECOMMENDATION: (J!JY Adopt Resolutions.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Based on the current number and status of City employees, costs
associated with the proposed changes to the personnel system as
described below will be as follows: the annual maximum cost
associated with increasing the Trust Fund would be approximately
$11,775; costs associated with the flex schedule and holiday pay
will be minimal.
.'
Sufficient funds will be included in the Fiscal Year 1997-98 budget
to cover the costs associated with these benefit changes.
DESCRIPTION: The City's personnel system is governed by several documents.
Each document addresses a specific set of issues. The staff report identifies proposed changes to the
City's current personnel system. As discussed below, these proposed adjustments are based on several
factors, including recent changes in state and federal law, a comprehensive survey of other agencies and
discussions with City employees. -
SALARY RANGE ADJUSTMENTS
Included in the City's personnel system are resolutions which address salary ranges for part-time and full-
time personnel. The attached salary plan for part-time personnel (Exhibit 1) contains amended salary
ranges for two of the City's part-time, temporary positions (Clerk Typist, Recreation Leader I). The
proposed salary range changes are in accordance with the new State and Federal minimum wage
requirements, effective March of 1997.
The attached salary plan for full-time personnel (Exhibit 2) contains proposed salary ranges for the City's
full-time regular employees. The salary ranges provide a minimum and maximum salary to be paid for
each position. The proposed salary ranges are based on market conditions determined by a comprehensive
survey of comparable positions in similar agencies. Each year, the City Manager's staff conducts a wage
and benefit survey of approximately 40 Bay Area local government agencies. This is performed in an
.'

'~:'
effort to keep the City's wage and benefit structure competitive with the market in which the City .
competes for labor. The recommended salary ranges also take into account the relationship uf each
position to others in the organization (e.g., the relationship between Assistant, Associate and Senior
~~~. .
The City of Dublin utilizes a pay-for-performance system. Thus, all movement within the salary range i.:~:
based on performance. The proposed modifications to the Salary Plans do not automatically increase
actual salaries. Employees' salaries can only be adjusted upon completion of a satisfactory or better
performance review. Thus, modifications to the Salary Plans will typically impact salaries at the time of a
performance review.
It is also recommended that the City delete the classification of Secretary to the City Manager/Deputy
City Clerk, which is not currently used. Staff has been unable to collect adequate information to keep the
salary range for this unique position current. Further, the City has other classifications which could be
utilized to fulfill the needs of this position, should the need arise.
The City Manager and his staff have met with all regular employees to discuss the proposed salary ranges.
Based on these discussions and on the market survey, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the
attached resolutions establishing new Salary Plans for part-time and full-time employees.
PERSONNEL RULE CHANGES
The City Council has adopted rules for the administration of the City's personnel system. Once again,
based on market comparisons and on discussions with City employees, the following amendments to the
Personnel System Rules are proposed (Exhibit 3):
1. Flex Schedule in Lieu of Overtime - Currently, when an employee works overtime (hours worked in !;::-
excess of 40 in a work week), the employee has the option of either receiving overtime pay (at time and
one-half); or flexing their schedule within the work week to accommodate the overtime. Staff proposes to
expand the current flex time provision to allow employees the option of flexing their schedule within the
2-week pay period, rather than the current one week period.
2. Time and One-Half Pay for Working on City Holidays ~ Currently, the Personnel Rules provide that
if an employee is required to work on a holiday, the employee will receive eight (8) hours oftime off "in
lieu" of the designated holiday. lbis time "in lieu" ofa holiday must be used in the Fiscal Year in which
it is earned. Staff proposes to amend the current policy to provide that employees who are required by the
City to work on a City recognized holiday, be compensated at the rate of time and one half.
3. Increase Trust Fund - In addition to the above, one change is proposed to the City's Trust Fund. The
Trust Fund is designed to cover excess dental, vision and medical costs. The City Manager administers
the Trust Fund program. Staff proposes to amend the Administrative Requirements of the City of Dublin
Dental!OpticallHealth Expense Reimbursement Plan Personnel System Rules to provide for the following
(to be effective July 1, 1997):
a. Full-time employees shall have a limit of $900 per "PLAN YEAR" for eligible reimbursements.
b. Employees regularly scheduled to work between 20 and 40 hours per work week shall have a limit of
$450 per "PLAN YEAR" for eligible reimbursements. .:.
- -. ;.~..
It is recommended that the City Council review the proposed changes to the City's personnel system and
adopt the necessary resolutions.
