ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 1378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental administrative action that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 1 ~061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. 18-1 NLY 9, 2013, Item ~~ Page 2 of 5 RECOMMENDATION Approve the Resolution BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable DISCUSSION The Great Recession hit the global economy in 2007 and 2008. In 2009, The City Council endorsed the City Manger's plan for stabilizing the City's financial condition. The City's Fiscal Health Plan included a four pronged approach that included the following categories: • Budget & Fiscal Reforms • Expenditures • [ncrease/Protect Revenues • Economic Development - - The Fiscal Health Plan assisted the City in maintaining a balanced budget during severe and ongoing economic decline with the goal of achieving financial stability. The City has made great progress in implementing the Fiscal Health Plan, which has resulted in both short-term and long- term savings. The Fiscal Health Plan has been further developed and incorporated into the Fiscal Recovery and Progress Plan report and includes other key components also necessazy to achieve fiscal recovery. The Fiscal Recovery and Progress Plan report identifies the major challenges the City faces in moving from financial stability to financial sustainability and eventually to financial resiliency. Measures include commitment to Continuous Improvement, pursuing additional public/private partnerships, and continuing to increase revenues. Since our main product is public service, personnel costs are the largest part of our budget. In order to stabilize the budget, many of the significant changes addressed personnel costs: • Current employees agreed to pay 100% of their shale of pension costs • Created second tier retirement benefits for new hires • Employee groups agreed to eliminate or defer scheduled cost of living increases The City has implemented difficult budget reductions .to align expenditures to decreasing revenues. The implementation of these expenditure reductions has occurred over a series of budget balancing plans that have resulted in significant service impacts. The cuts in our workforce, while tough on all, have provided valuable lessons for moving forward. 1n order to maintain fiscal sustainability, the City has to control expenditures and remain strategic about long-term growth of the organization. While staffing cuts have been dramatic, we have also learned that we cannot increase staffing levels to unsustainable levels. In order to maintain staffing levels lower than that of comparable jurisdictions while continuing to provide high quality services to Chula Vista, our employees are expected to deliver more with less. We need to ensure our employees are well trained to provide those services and, in turn, compensated accordingly. We can accomplish this with a commitment to quality pay, which also caps and controls increases in compensation costs at the same time. The complete program is intended to link compensation to service delivery and accountability. The employees of the City of Chula Vista represent a valued resource critical to the effective 18-2 JiJLY 9, 2013, Item ~ dr' Page 3 of 5 delivery of services to our residents. We need to ensure our employees- are well-trained and committed to provide those services and, in turn, compensated accordingly. What we require of our employees is: • .Commitment to the Culture of Continuous Improvement , • ; A Customer. Service Focus • Continuing Targeted Training • Performance Oriented Accountability m `ContinuousT~rovement Since 2011, the City of Chula'Vista has implemented the principles of Continuous Improvement (CI).'to maintain ..quality service delivery in the face of significant budget constraints. The principles and tools provide a systematic way to examine processes within the organization to eliminate waste resulting in lower costs to provide services. When looking at service delivery gaps, our organization will look to CI principles first before adding new resources. This will allow us to be more strategic about adding ongoing resources. More than •100 City employees have had CI training through our local partner, UTC Aerospace Systems,- formerly Goodrich Aerostnictures. The City has assigned two staff persons to spearhead these efforts within the City. In addition to the two CI Managers, there are designated CI Champions within every department to lead departmental efforts. Customer Service Service is the primary commodity of a city. The public expects and deserves high quality service.- A significant indicator'of our'success is not only what we provide, but how well we deliver it. Toward that end, the City has established aCity-wide standard for high quality customer experiences through the establishment of a Customer Service Policy (Policy #915). This Policy sets the baseline and expectations for every interaction involving a city employee. In addition to the City policy, an emphasis on our customer service orientation is included in our recruitment process for new employees. Testing for customer service .values is included in the hiring process, as well as mandatory training for new employees. Advanced Skills In order to provide high quality services to Chula Vista, our employees need focused training to improve theif skills and stay on top of industry standards. This investment in our employees gives them the tools they need to do their current job better or prepare themselves for future career advancement. A link to their current job or career path must be demonstrated in advance and approved by their supervisor. After training, employees show the connection about what they learned. This way the continuing education benefits the individual employee as well as the organization. Accountability Accountability is a critical part of delivering the quality services that align with the programs and strategies set forth in the City's Strategic Plan. The- City has an objective performance evaluation process that supports better city services, meets the performance management needs of departments and comply with Civil Service Rules. The performance evaluation process is 18-3 JULY 9, 2013, Item ~~' Page 4 of 5 intended to be a continuing developmental tool for improving both job performance and workplace communication. The performance evaluation process evaluates the performance of an employee based on agreed upon performance objectives. It is the intent to set clear expectations, track progress, provide guidance when necessary, and commend a job well done. When expectations are not being met, there is a process for feedback and tools to help employees improve and achieve their established goals. Advances in salary are not automatic, but are dependent on satisfactory performance on identified objectives. Comnensation Employee compensation should be based upon a structure that attains and then maintains salaries at rates at the top of the middle one third market rate (66% of the market) identified by data, collected on the recruitment market for each group of employees. The policy formalizes the ' City's commitment to compensating employees at a rate that is fair within the recruitment market . for each bargaining group, and provides the value for having our employees do more than their peers in other cities.. The City's compensation policy is designed to support the achievement of the City Council strategic objectives for the community, enhance harmonious labor relations and meet the needs of a majority of the workforce. It is designed to foster a strong team envirorunent within the organization, recognize the importance of a satisfied, productive, and cohesive workforce while continuing to reward individual accomplishments and performance. Fiscal Sustainability The public can be assured that-they are getting good value for their dollars with this program based on the City's commitment to fiscal sustainability as well as the emphasis on quality customer service and accountability. Chula Vista has staffing levels approximately 25% below comparable cities. If the City increased staffing to those levels the City would incur approximately $35M in additional expenses. Based on financial resources, it will take time to move employees currently under the median market rate to 66 percent of market rate. Each year the City Manager will prepare a proposed budgeC which, when the City's financial position allows, will allocate funds needed to help achieve and maintain our employees at the top of the middle third in the labor market. In order to ensure that the compensation program does not jeopardize the financial condition of the City, Finance staff will annually review the following indicators: • Structurally balanced budget during the scheduled (Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) period • Increase in Assessed Valuation greater than the 2% CPI based on the most recent report from the County of San Diego. • General Fund total operating reserves have remained stable from the prior fiscal year. • Sales Tax Trends reflect average increases in the past three consecutive reporting periods (quarters) when compared to the same reporting periods in the prior year. ' Assuming all indicators are achieved, as determined by the City, the City would seek to allocate up to 25% of new net 'revenues to fund negotiated adjustments. Again, individual employee 18-4 JULY 9, 2013, Item /~ Page 5 of 5 movement toward 66 percent of market rate or step increases within the salary, range will be ,_ based on the employee satisfactorily achieving their agreed upon performance objectives. Additionally, to avoid volatility in the budget process, we recommend establishment of a Pension/Health Care Reserve Fund. Based on recent changes approved by the Ca1PERS Board, the City's pension contribution rates are anticipated to increase significantly beginning in FY 2015/16. In order to avoid significant budgetary deficits in the near future, the creation of a Pension/Health Care Reserve Fund can be applied to smooth out the budgetary impacts. In years when CaIPERS investment returns are greater than anticipated the City's contribution rates would drop creating an opportunity to set funds aside for those years when investment returns fall short. This reserve fund protects the City and employees in times of increased rates. Finally, the Quality Work Force Program is not a contract, neither express nor implied, and there are. ' . no third party beneficiaries. Implementation of the Quality Work Force Program goals will be implemented in compliance with the Meyers-Milias Brown Act ("NIM~BA"), including meet and conferring on setting salaries and benefits. 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 There is no fiscal impact in the current fiscal year. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact from approving the Quality Workforce Program. The fiscal impact }associated with this program will be determined by the actual cost of living adjustments. for the various employee groups. Changes in compensation will be subject to -negotiations and ultimately approved by the City Council. , ATTACHMENTS .. -Draft Quality Workforce Program Prepared by: Kelley Bacon, Deputy Ciry Manager, Administration Department 18-5 18-6 - - DRAFT QUALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM During the past decade, population in the City of Chula Vista has grown by almost 100,000 residents yet, due to budget constraints, we had to reduce our work force by 25 percent. The cuts in our workforce, while tough on all, have provided valuable lessons for moving forward. In order. to maintain staffing levels lower than that of comparable jurisdictions while continuing to provide high quality services to Chula Vista, our employees are expected to deliver more with less. The City of Chula Vista's Quality Workforce Program is based on the promise thafthere is nothing more important than the services provided to our community, Those services are provided by City of Chula Vista employees. We need to ensure our employees are well trained to provide those services and, in turn, compensated accordingly. The .Quality Workforce Program is meant to provide. clear expectations to our workforce. In return, we want to provide a clear commitment of compensation. The pieces of the program are intended to work together: • Culture of Continuous Improvement Customer Service Focus • Performance Oriented Accountability • .Link Training to Performance Goals • Appropriate Compensation This comprehensive approach will provide financial stability in terms of personnel costs, erisure our employees to continue to .provide quality services to the community, while providing appropriate compensation for employees. ~ ~~~'~ James D.

QUALITY WORKFORCE, A COMPONENT OF ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE A Quality Workforce Program was introduced to the City Council in. February, 201 3, as a component of the City Manager's plan to deliver quality, efficient and effective services. Like most public agencies across the country, the City of Chula Vista experienced fiscal. crisis for the past ,several years following the significant downturn in. the economy. The City responded immediately with cuts and actions to stabilize City finances. The City then moved to implement more proactive measures ` to move toward fiscal sustainability: As we move towards fiscal sustainability, the City is formalizing plans for the best use of public dollars to provide quality •service delivery. The City Manager's plan for Organizational Excellence includes four components: • Strategic Plan-A plan of action to address community goals • .Fiscal sustainability-A Long-Term Financial Plan to become financially resilient • Continuous Improvement-A formal commitment and work program to improve service delivery • Quality Workforce-A program to link compensation to service delivery and accountability . While part of an overall plan, each pillar of Organizational Excellence is being brought forward to the City Council and implemented individually. This report outlines the Quality Workforce component of the overall plan. 18-9 Paee 3 DRAFT QUALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM z,; a' ~; e e - s v~ QUALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM WHAT IT IS In short, the complete program is intended to link compensation to service delivery- and accountability. The employees of the City of Chula Vista represent a valued resource critical to the effective delivery .of .services to .our residents. _We need to ensure our employees are well-trained and committed to provide those services and, in turn, compensated accordingly. In order to maintain fiscal sustainability, the City has to control expenditures and remain strategic about long-term growth of the organization. While staffing cuts have been dramatic, we have learned that we cannot increase staffing levels to unsustainable levels. The Quality Workforce Program is meant to provide clear expectations to our workforce. The pieces of the program are intended to work together: • Culture of Continuous Improvement • Customer Service Focus • Investment in Training • Performance Oriented Accountability • Appropriate Compensation 18-10 Paee 4 DRAFT QUALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM WHY IS THE QUALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM IMPORTANT? • .The compensation policy provides stability in personnel costs. • Training opportunities offer our employees opportunity for career advancement. • Advancing employee skills ensures a highly skilled workforce. • Customer Service and Continuous Improvement are formalized values in our culture. ® Employees have clear expectations of their performance. c The public can be assured that employees are accountable for stated objectives. ® 'Compensation policy provides security to employees. ® ,Compensation policy provides equity among all employees and labor groups. , CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Since 2011, the City of Chula Vista has implemented the principles of Continuous Improvement (CI) to maintain quality service delivery `in the face of significant budget constraints. The principles and tools provide processes within the.organization to eliminate waste resulting in lower costs to provide services. The program's name is "CITY Now." The name incorporates two fundamental thoughts: the acronym "CITY" stands for "Continuously Improving Through You", showing the, reliance on our employees to carry out this endeavor; and the "Now" addresses the bias for action orientation of the program. a systematic way to examine CITY Now . is an organization-wide program designed to 'provide employees, at all levels of the organization, with the ability to make changes to C ITY~l~ CHULA VISTA Continuously Improving Through You the processes they do every day. These changes will reduce costs, streamline procedures, and improve customer service. When looking at service delivery gaps, our organization will look to CI principles first before adding new resources. We will ask three key questions: • Could we deliver the service in another way? ~ Do we need to keep all the same steps we used to take? • Has technology improved that would allow us to reduce steps? This will allow us to be more strategic about adding ongoing resources. More than 100 City employees have had CI training through our local partner, UTC Aerospace Systems, formerly Goodrich Aerostructures. The City has assigned two staff persons to spearhead these efforts within the City. In addition to the two CI Managers, there are designated CI Champions within every department to lead 18-11 Paee S DRAFT QUALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM departmental efforts. Employees are encouraged to utilize tools and information available on the City's Intranet. All new employees are exposed to the City's commitment to CI principles. Not only is the program description included in the recruitment brochure, but also a training session on the program is included as part of the New Employee Orientation. CUSTOMER SERVICE Service is the primary. commodity of a city. The public expects and deserves high quality service. A significant indicator of our success is not only what we provide, but how well we deliver it. Toward that end, the City has established aCity-wide standard for high quality customer experiences through the establishment of a Customer Service, Policy (Policy #915).. This Policy sets the baseline ,and expectations for every interaction involving a "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." -Theodore Roosevelt City employee. The City endorses high quality customer service and supports these efforts through a' plan adopting the "Six Essential Elementsr^^" philosophy for creating a culture of service. The City's customer service program is .founded on: • Setting customer service expectations for all employees and City representatives; • Providing professional development training and refreshers to ensure service skills in all types of interactions; • Empowering our team members and emphasizing a culture where people are valued and respected for their contributions; • Gathering customer input and feedback to continue to improve services; • Establishing formal and informal ways to recognize those among us that go out of their way to excel at service delivery; and • Continuing to look at process improvements and projects that will streamline service delivery. In addition to the City policy, an emphasis on our. customer service orientation is included in our recruitment process for new employees. Testing for customer service values is included in the hiring process, as well as mandatory training for new employees. 18-12 Paee 6 DRAFT QUALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM ADVANCED SKILLS Iri order to provide high quality services to Chula. Vista, our employees need access to training to improve their skills or to stay on top of industry standards. It is the policy of the City to provide eligible employees with the opportunity to obtain, maintain or improve their professional capabilities by allowing for supplemental training and. professional growth beyond that which is offered by the City (Policy #506). Professional Enrichment funds are available to most employees for the following job- related or career-related activities: • Tuition and Course-Related Expenses • Training Program and Seminar • Professional Conference • Professional Associations Dues (excluding Union Dues) and Licenses This investment in our employees gives them the tools they need to. do their current job better or prepare themselves for future career advancement. A link to their current job or career path must be demonstrated .in advance and approved by their supervisor. After training, employees show the connection by providing a report about what they learned: This can be accomplished with the preparation of a white paper or presentation training 18-13 Paee 7 DRAFT QUALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM to fellow employees. This way the continuing education benefits the individual employee as well as the organization. ACCOUNTABILITY Accountability is a critical part of delivering quality services that align with the programs and strategies set forth in the City's Strategic Plan. The City has a policy (Policy #304) to establish and maintain an objective performance evaluation process that supports better city services; meet the performance management needs of departments and comply with Civil Service Rules. This policy assists department managers and employees in measuring employees' performance by establishing goals and objectives, evaluating and measuring employees' progress, giving recognition for good work and providing a guide for improvement and continual feedback. It is the policy of the .City to provide employees with a written,_confidential record that evaluates the performance of an employee based on agreed upon performance objectives. The performance evaluation process is, intended to be a continuing developmental tool for improving both job performance and workplace communication and should be aligned with the City's Strategic Plan. It is the intent to set clear expectations, track progress, provide guidance when necessary, and commend a job well done. When expectations are not being met, there is a process for feedback and tools to help employees achieve their established goals. Advances in salary are not automatic, but are dependent on satisfactory performance on identified objectives. COMPENSATION . ' Employee compensation should be based upon a structure that attains and then maintains salaries at rates at the top of the middle one third market rate (66% of the market) identified by data collected on the recruitment market for each group of 'employees. The policy memoridiizes the City's commitment to compensating employees at a rate that is fair within the recruitment market for each bargaining group, and shows value for asking our employees to do more with less. The City's compensation policy is designed to support the' achievement of the City Council strategic objectives for the community, enhance harmonious labor relations and meet the needs of a majority of the workforce. It is designed to foster a strong team environmerit within the organization, recognize the importance of a satisfied, productive, and cohesive workforce and reward individual accomplishments and performance. The City's compensation philosophy is to establish and maintain a compensation structure based on .marketplace norms, internal alignment, performance, 18-14 Paee 8 QUALITY WORKFORCE PROGRAM engagement in Continuous Improvement and equity among various groups of employees. The City's approach is to provide a combination of base salary and benefits that is competitive with the labor market. Structures and ranges will be reviewed and updated as necessary based on an evaluation of the City's ability to pay, marketplace survey data, and equity among various` groups of employees. The Compensation Policy is not a contract, neither express not implied, and there are no third party beneficiaries. In setting salaries and benefits, the collective bargaining process will be used to meet and confer with recognized represented employee groups. The public can be assured that they are getting good value for their dollars with this program based on the City's commitment to fiscal sustainability as well as the emphasis on quality customer service and accountability. Based on financial resources, it will take time to move employees currently under the median market rate to 66 percent of market rate. Each year the City, Manager will prepare a proposed budget which, when the City's financial position allows, will allocate funds needed to help achieve and maintain our employees at the top. of the middle third in the labor market.

Cm' ©F CHULA VISTA COMPENSATION POLICY INTRODUCTION The City's compensation program is designed to support the achievement of the City Council strategic objectives for the community, enhance harmonious labor relations and meet the needs of a majority of the workforce. It should foster a team concept within the organization, recognizing the importance of a satisfied, productive, and cohesive workforce while recognizing and rewarding individual accomplishments and performance. The City's compensation polices and practices are applicable to all city employees. Implementation of these policies will be through the Cities adopted compensation philosophy and collective bargaining for union represented employees or by city .management decision based on the Cities Compensation philosophy for unrepresented employees. The City Council, through its budget and labor contract actions approves changes in compensation. All city employees regardless of representation are to be treated similarly in application of the city's compensation policies. In implementing this program, the following guidelines will be considered based upon the financial capacity of the City. COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY The City's compensation philosophy is to establish and maintain compensation structure based on market place norms, internal alignment, performance, engagement. in Continuous Improvement and equity among various groups of employees. Structures and ranges will be reviewed and updated as necessary based on an evaluation of the City's ability to pay, market place survey data, internal relationships, and equity among various groups of employees. The City will conduct periodic market place salary surveys (every year) to evaluate market pay For benchmark classification. A benchmark classification is a position or classification which is regarded as representative or comparable from agency to agency. The salary survey will identify the market rate for each benchmark classification at the lower one third, middle one third and top one third of the labor market. It is the City's goal to compensate benchmark classifications and any classifications tied to the benchmark classifications at the top of the middle one third of the identified market rate as indicated by the salary survey. Individual movement will also be based on the employee achieving their agreed upon performance objectives In setting salaries and benefits, the collective bargaining process will be used to meet and confer with recognized represented employee groups. 7 8-48 6/5/13 rev Paee 42 ~,t4~i ~~ .~. G„v CMUiA VISTA COMPENSATION POLICY IMPLEMENTATION The City's compensation program will be implemented in accox•dance with the following guidelines 1. FISCALLY PRUDENT The provision of efficient and effective local public service is essential to the well-being of all communities. The City is committed to maintaining a lean workforce operating at a lower per capita than other cities our size balanced with the need to have a sufficient number of appropriately skilled staff members and the ability to attract and retain the brightest and most skilled employees through competitive compensation. Based on financial resources, it will take time to move employees currently under the median market rate to 66 percent of market rate. Each year the City Manager will prepare a proposed budget which, when the City's financial position allows, will allocate funds needed to help achieve and maintain our employees at the top of the middle third in the labor market. In order to ensure that the compensation program does not jeopardize the financial condition of the City, finance staff will annually review financial indicators. Assuming all indicators are achieved, the City will endeavor to allocate up to 2v% of new net revenues to fund negotiated adjustments. Again, individual employee movement toward 66 percent of market rate or step increases within the salary range will be based on the employee satisfactorily achieving their agreed upon performance objectives. 2. ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALITY EMPLOYEES The City's compensation program should ensure that the City has the ability to attract and retain the quality of person the City needs to implement the City Council policy objectives and priorities at the same time, making sure that individual accomplishments can be quantified, acknowledged, and rewarded, and that their development goals, to increase their skill base are being supported and documented through the performance management process. 3. LABOR MARKET The City's practice is to survey government labor markets that include A. Local labor market comprised of San Diego County and 10 cities within the County for the Chula Vista Employees Association, International Association of Fire Fighters and the Police Officers Association. The local labor market jurisdictions include Carlsbad, Coronado, El Cajon, Escondido La Mesa, National City, Ocean Side, Poway, City of San Diego, County of San Diego, and San Marcos. The City may, when appropriate, include special purpose agencies and private sector employers that provide municipal services. $. Regional market compromised of Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County and San Diego County cities that are similar to Chula Visa in growth, population, service structure, and complexity are used to survey the Niid Manager/Prof bargaining group and the Western Council of Engineers. G/5/13 tev 18-49 Paee 43 ~~c~, .r._~,. criv of CHULA VISTA COMPENSATION POLICY C. Statewide market compromised of cities that are similar to Chula Vista that have similar population growth, service structure, and complexity are used when surveying for senior and executive employees. 4. COMPETITIVE POSITION I£ fiscally prudent, it is the City's objective to compensate employees at rates at the top of the middle one third market rate identified by data collected annually by the Human Resources Department based on the recruitment market for each group of employees. A. For Chula Vista Employee's Association unit, the International Association of Fire Fighters and the Police Officers Association the primary market will include the local labor market. B. For Western Council of Engineers and Mid-Managers, and other selected professional positions the market will include both the local labor market and the regional market. C. For Senior Managers and Executives, the market will include the local, regional, and the statewide market. In addition to the labor market survey data referenced above, in order to address unique compensation concerns, the City and/or recognized employee representatives may, at their discretion, collect and present supplemental market survey data in the context of the meet and confer process. It is the custom of the City to generally. follow the same compensation philosophy for those employees with labor contracts. 5. MEASUREMENT OF COMPETITIVE POSITION Competitive position will be calculated utilizing base salary. In addition, the City may' also consider other forms of compensation, health and retirement benefits; leave benefits, and reimbursement policies. 6. INTERNAL ALIGNMENT Consideration will be given to both labor market survey data and internal relationships in establishing salary ranges. When establishing internal relationships, priority will be given to A..Appropriate differential between superior and subordinate classes B. Appropriate differentials among classes in the same class series (i.e. technicaUprofessional) C: Relationships among related class series (e.g., planning, inspection services, and engineering) - _ ~ ~ 6/5/13 rev Pace 44 ~~~/~ ..~~ ~~ CHUW VISTA COMPENSATION POLICY D. Relationships across unrelated class series. 7. MIX OF BASE SALARY, TOTAL CASH AND BENEFITS The City's practice is to provide a mix'of base salary, total cash and benefits that is generally competitive with the labor market. When evaluating benefits, the City will consider both the cost and the content of the benefits. 8. PAY ADMINISTRATION Individual compensation adjustments within the salary range will be-made in accordance with the appropriate memorandum of undex•standing and/or salary resolution and City adopted compensation philosophy. 9. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING The City's practice is to honor the integrity of the collective bargaining process through good faith negotiations. It is understood that these negotiations will take place exclusively through the recognized representatives of the City and the representatives of the appropriate bargaining unit. 10. SHARING OF COMPENSATION SURVEY INFORMATION Consistent with the City's commitment to an open and collaborative relationship with employees, the compensation survey data collected pursuant to this px•ogram will be shax•ed with unrepresented employees, or the appropriate recognized employee representatives. 11. NOT A CONTRACT This Compensation Policy is not a contract, neither express nor implied, and there are no third party beneSciaries. Ixnplementation of the goals of this policy, to the extent required, shall be in compliance with the MeyersMilias Brown Act (LVLbIBA). 6/5/13 rev I is-si Paee 45 COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO.
