7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
CalPERS uses publicly available pay schedules in order to determine final compensation and to
calculate retirement benefits for City employees. Section 570.5 of the CCR sets forth the
requirements of this pay schedule. Section 570.5 states that publicly available pay schedules
must meet all of the following requirements:
• Has been duly approved and adopted by the employer's governing body in accordance
with requirements of applicable public meeting laws;
• Identifies the position title for every employee position;
• Shows the pay rate for each identified position, which may be stated as a single amount or
as multiple amounts within a range;
• Indicates the time base for each pay rate;
• Is posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible for public review from
the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer's internet website;
• Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions;
• Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years;
• Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate.
Although all Memoranda of Understanding for all Bargaining Units and Resolutions for
unrepresented staff are included on the City's website, Ca1PERS has advised staff that they do
not meet all of the requirements of Section 570.5. As such, staff has verified with Ca1PERS that
the Citywide Salary Schedule attached to Resolution No. 10976 meets the criteria set forth in
Section 570.5. Additionally, each position in the Citywide Salary Schedule also references the
Bargaining Unit or unrepresented group that the position belongs to in order for the user to obtain
more information regarding compensation for the respective positions.
With the accompanying agenda item for Resolution No. 10962, there are two salary schedules
attached to the Resolution for this item. The first has an effective date of August 7, 2016, which
is the date that the last salary increase for employees went into effect. The second schedule
reflects a revision date and changes made by Resolution No. 10962, which is effective October
30, 2016.
