Department Recommendation:
Adopt the revised salary schedule for full-time employees, City Manager, and City Council members of the City of Visalia.
Background Discussion:
CalPERS requires salary schedules be duly approved and adopted by the employer's governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meeting laws. The City Manager and City Council salaries must also be included in the publicly available salary schedule.
During recent negotiations with City employee bargaining groups, Council approved a 4% salary increase for all classifications effective in fiscal year 2021/2022. The City Manager and City Council are not part of a bargaining group. The City Manager salary is established by contract approved by City Council. A new City Manager was appointed effective September 4, 2021 and an employment agreement was approved with salary terms established. City Council salaries and the formula for salary increases are set by Municipal Code and are only modified at the beginning of a new term of office. City Council salaries were last modified in November 2020 for those newly elected Council members.
The attached revised salary schedule reflects the increases noted above. Any City Manager approved classification changes made throughout the year due to the addition or reclassification of positions are included as well. Staff requests Council adoption of this document.

There is no further fiscal impact associated with adopting this document.
