the current Federal General Schedule Salary for both of these positions.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will
not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) ofthe State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.

Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

In essence, the City receives full funding, plus a 4% administrative fee, to hire and
administer salary and benefits for CBAG positions. To date, there are currently 18 CBAG
positions with the City of Chula Vista that are fully funded from the Office ofNational Drug
Control Policy (ONDCP).
Per HIDTA policy, the CBAG Executive Director and CBAG Deputy Executive Director
positions aze tied to the Federal General Schedule Salary Table. Due to transitions of
CBAG personnel over the last two yeazs, the current compensation levels for both the
CBAG Executive Director and CBAG Deputy Executive Director have not been adjusted
since 2009. The current compensation levels do not align with the current Federal salary
table as is required by HIDTA policy. Approval of this resolution will amend the City's
Compensation Plan to reflect the current salary levels from the Federal Salary Table, as
indicated in the table below.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500-foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The City is fully reimbursed for CBAG positions and receives a 4% administrative fee to
act as a fiscal agent. The costs of the compensation adjustments for the CBAG Executive
Dtrector &CBAG Deputy Executive Director will be completely offset by personnel
savings of current CBAG vacant positions, resulting in no net fiscal impact.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact approving the compensation of these two grant-funded
positions. The proposed CBAG budget will incorporate anticipated salary adjustments
for the CBAG Executive Director &CBAG Deputy Executive Director, and the funding
from ONDCP will fully offset these costs.
ATTACHMENTS
None.
Prepared by.' Jonathan Alegre, Principal Management Analyst, Police Department
The proposed E step salary is lower than the current E step salary for the CBAG Executive Director due
to the aligunent with the current Federal General Schedule Salary Table.
