AGENDA STAFF REPORT
City of West Covina I Office of the City Manager
DATE: January 18, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: David Carmany
City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF INCREASE IN HOURLY RATES FOR LIMITED SERVICES PAY
SCHEDULE TO REFLECT RECENT INCREASE IN STATE HOURLY MINIMUM WAGE
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2022
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, 2022; and
2. Adopt the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION NO.2022-09 - 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.
2021-03
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, 2022.... $15.00 per hour
*Effective January 1, 2023..... Based on the national consumer price index (CPI), capped at 3.5% regardless of
the CPI in any given year.
DISCUSSION:
Effective January 1, 2022, the State minimum wage increased from $14.00 per hour to $15.00 per hour. Due to this
increase, eleven (11) classifications within the City's Limited Services Pay Schedule (i.e., part-time position
schedule) now fall below the State's $15.00 minimum wage requirement and must be adjusted accordingly.
Additionally, two (2) classifications also need adjusting due to compaction issues.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the resolution and approved it as to form.
Prepared by: Helen Tran, Human Resources/Risk Management Director
Fiscal Impact
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2021-2022 cost to cover the mid -year minimum wage adjustments is approximately $36,000. This
addresses the impacts made by the State's minimum wage increase and wage compaction.
It is important to also note 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. These annual increases will impact the City's limited
services staffing costs in future budgets.
