MEETING DATE: JUNE 15, 2010
TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: KRISTI RECCHIA, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
SUBJECT: SALARY RESOLUTION FOR THE ELECTED CITY CLERK
SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached Resolution will authorize compensation and benefits
adjustments for the elected City Clerk in accordance with Council direction.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 10-66 to amend
compensation and benefits provided to the elected City Clerk.
FISCAL IMPACT
Cost savings of approximately $5,700 over the 2010-11 fiscal year (approximately
$11,400 over a full year).
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City Council has the authority to establish the compensation and benefits paid to
the elected City Clerk. In line with recent reductions to the compensation and benefits of
other City employees, the City Council has proposed reducing the level of City-paid
benefits provided to the City Clerk. Specifically, the Council has directed staff to prepare
a Resolution capping the City's contribution to the City Clerk's medical insurance at the
cost of the PERS Choice plan for the tier selected by the City Clerk (i.e. employee only,
employee plus one dependent, or employee plus two or more dependents).
The attached Resolution follows the City Council's direction for the City Clerk.
