Item 14
Meeting Date 6/23/87
ITEM TITLE: Resolution , 0 - Finding Compensation of Unrepresented
City Employees Unfixed and Uncertain
SUBMITTED BY: Assistant City Manager
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ti 4/5ths Vote: Yes No X
Constitutional constraints surrounding the City' s ability to alter compensation
of its employees after service has been rendered requires the City Council to
adopt the attached resolution making the finding that compensation for unrepre-
sented City officers and employees is directly or indirectly tied to compensation
of represented employees and, as such, salaries of those represented employees
may not be fixed and definite on, or perhaps even sometime after, July 1 , 1987.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N.A.
DISCUSSION:
It is beginning to appear as though negotiations with the four recognized
bargaining units may not be completed prior to the beginning of the next fiscal
year. While it is the City' s position at the table that any agreements reached
after the start of the fiscal year will not be retroactive, such an issue is
and must be negotiable. In the case of unrepresented employees or officers,
constitutional constraints would not allow for retroactive adjustments to com-
pensation of unrepresented employees or officers unless a declaration and finding
by the City Council is made that indicates that such compensation is directly
or indirectly tied to the compensation of represented employees. Adoption of
the resolution does not automatically provide for retroactivity, but provides
a mechanism whereby the City Council can legally make that determination when
the negotiation process is complete.
