SR 10-25-2011 3ICity of City Council Report
Santa Monica
City Council Meeting: October 25, 2011
Agenda Item: ,
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Donna C. Peter, Director of Human Resources
Subject: Adoption of Resolution Establishing Various Classifications and Salary
Rates
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution establishing new position classifications and
adopting salary rates for those listed positions (Attachment A)
2. Approve the Position and Classification Changes (Attachment B)
Executive Summary
The Santa Monica Municipal Code sets forth the process for establishing new position
classifications setting the salary rates for position classifications. Adoption and approval
of the salary resolution and position changes are time - sensitive, and are therefore being
presented now rather than at mid -year. Recommendations presented in this report do
not require additional appropriations at this time.
Background
The Santa Monica Municipal Code sets forth the process for establishing new position
classifications and setting the salary rates for position classifications. The process
includes the development of new classification specifications Cob descriptions) and /or
the revision of existing classification specifications by the Human Resources
Department based on input from City departments and the affected bargaining units.
The classification specifications are presented to the Personnel Board for their review
and approval. Interested parties can provide input to the Personnel Board at that time.
Past practice has been that following approval of the classification specifications by the
Personnel Board a salary resolution setting the salary rates for the various position
classifications was then presented to the City Council for adoption. The salary rates are
based on external salary market data from comparable cities as well as internal equity
factors.

Discussion
The attached resolution (Attachment A) sets forth the salary rates for new position
classifications and adjusts the salary rates of existing position classifications based on
classification and compensation studies. The Position and Classification Changes
(Attachment B) lists the positions that are being deleted and /or added by various City
departments and will be reflected in the Revised FY2011 -2013 Budget. The positions
and classification changes listed reflect restructuring and /or the addition of new
positions in the respective City departments and divisions.
Adoption of salary resolutions and position and classification changes are typically
presented to City Council for approval as part of the budget process. In an effort to
maintain a more accurate representation of positions in the City, Human Resources will
now be submitting changes on a quarterly basis.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
The recommendations presented in this report do not require additional appropriations
at this time; additional appropriations or budget changes for approved salary
adjustments, if necessary, will be included in the mid -year report.
