-Memorandum
TO: Andrew G. Pasinant, City Manager
and City Council
FROM: Artie A. Fields, Assistant City Manager/
Interim Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: STATE MINIMUM WAGE ADJUSTMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
AGENDA
ITEM NO. D-4d
DATE December 19, 2006
1) Approve wage adjustments for five positions to comply with the state minimum wage,
and six additional positions to address compaction within each position series, and hiring
and retention issues.
2) Adopt the following Resolution:
.Q
RESOLUTION NO. 7i000 -A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA,
FIXING THE COMPENSATION OF CLASSIFICATIONS WITHIN
THE LIMITED SERVICE CLASSIFICATIONS AND AMENDING
RESOLUTION NUMBERS 2000-100, 2001-92, AND 2002-7.
DISCUSSION:
Effective January 1, 2007, the new state minimum wage will be increased from $6.75 per hour to
$7.50 per hour. Currently, there are five limited service positions in the City for which the first
step in the salary range is below the new minimum wage. They are Recreation Assistant, Food
Service Worker (Dishwasher), Maintenance Assistant, Office Aide I, and Office Aide II. It is
necessary to increase the first step to the new minimum wage for these classes to be in
compliance with the state guidelines. The other two steps in the series range for these positions
will be adjusted consistent with the practice of maintaining five percent increments between
steps. In addition, the positions of Office Aide III, Recreation Leader, Recreation Site
Coordinator, Day Care Teacher, and Day Care Director should be increased to avoid compaction
within each series. Staff is also recommending that the Crossing Guard salary range be adjusted
to reflect the market and address hiring and retention issues. Attachment A outlines the
recommended increases for all the above listed positions.
Effective January 1, 2008, the state minimum wage will be increased from $7.50 per hour to
$8.00 per hour. In order to comply with the new state minimum wage, staff is recommending
that the salary range for the Food Service Worker (Dishwasher) position be increased from $7.50
- $8.28 to $8.00 - $8.82 and that the Level II and III Police Reserve Officers be increased from
$7.94 - $8.75 to $8.94 - $9.86 effective January 1, 2008. For the positions of Recreation
Assistant, Recreation Leader, Recreation Site Coordinator, Day Care Teacher, Day Care Director,
Crossing Guard, Maintenance Assistant, and Office Aide I, II, and III, staff is recommending
salary increases over a two-year period to avoid compaction. Attachment A outlines the
recommended increases for the periods of January 2007, July 2007, and July 2008.
Staff is planning to bring salary increases for other part-time positions to the City Council in
February 2007.
