AGENDA STAFF REPORT
City of West Covina I Office of the City Manager
DATE: January 19, 2021
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: David Carmany
City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF INCREASE IN HOURLY RATE LIMITED SERVICES PAY
SCHEDULE TO REFLECT RECENT INCREASE IN STATE HOURLY MINIMUM
WAGE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2021
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve wage adjustments to limited service positions to bring them into compliance with the State's
minimum wage requirement as of January 1, 2021; and
2. Adopt Resolution 2021-03:
RESOLUTION NO.2021-03 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, ADJUSTING THE HOURLY PAY RATES OF
CLASSIFICATIONS WITHIN THE LIMITED SERVICES PAY SCHEDULE AND REPEALING
RESOLUTION NO.2020-11
BACKGROUND:
On April 4, 2016, Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 3 (Leno, Chapter 4) which gradually raises the State
minimum wage to $15.00 per hour by January 1, 2022. Starting in 2023, the state minimum wage will be
increased annually for inflation based on the national consumer price index (CPI). The annual inflationary
increases scheduled to start in 2023 will be capped at 3.5% regardless of the CPI in any given year. The
schedule for minimum wage increases is as follows:
• Effective January 1, 2021.... $14.00 per hour
• Effective January 1, 2022.... $15.00 per hour
DISCUSSION:
Effective January 1, 2021, the State minimum wage increased from $13.00 per hour to $14.00 per hour. Due to
this increase, eight (8) classifications within the City's Limited Services Pay Schedule (i.e., part-time position
schedule) now fall below the State's $14.00 minimum wage requirement and must be adjusted accordingly.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the resolution and approved it as to form.
OPTIONS:
The following options are available to the Council:
1. Approve staffs recommendation; or
2. Provide alternative direction.
Prepared by: Helen Tran, Human Resources/Risk Management Director
Fiscal Impact
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2020-2021 cost to cover the mid -year minimum wage adjustments is approximately $8,300.
This addresses the impacts made by the State's minimum wage increase and wage compaction.
It is important to also note that the State minimum wage is scheduled to gradually increase to $15.00 per hour
by January 1, 2022. These annual increases will impact the City's limited services staffing costs in future
budgets.
