At that time it was decided to postpone consideration of compensation issues until hearings on the Fiscal 1976-77 budget. In this manner, a better perspective could be gained in relation to total City expenditures. The attached Resolution and exhibit represent staff recommendations on fringe benefits for both the Executive and Middle Management Groups. Many of the compensation items are currently in effect but have been listed to provide a better understanding of the total available package. On1Y changes will be discussed. I. EXECUTIVE GROUP (Additional Cost = $2,920) B-3 (Education Reimbursement). Is currently at $100 per year and should be increased to the proposed $200 to cover the special training needs of Department Heads. Inexpensive courses and seminars are not available to this group as advanced professional degrees are being pursued. Total additional annual cost should not exceed $300. B-4 (Group Health Insurance). Would be improved with the additional extended coverage in such areas as room and board, radiation therapy and major medical. The combined member and dependent premium rate will increase $7.27 per month for a total cost rise of $1,220. continued on Supplemental Page 2 f-\/1 111'11 Tf~ ATTA/11 Ir 1"\ ~~rnai I ~ Hi i H~n~u Agreement Resolution X Ordinance Plat Other Environmental Document; Attached Submitted on STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution BOARD/ COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION COUNCIL ACTION 6/15/76 Approved by Counci 1 Form A- 113 (Rev 5 - 75) Suppmerrtal Page 2 Agenda Item 3 ~ j , B-7 (Physical Examination). Is a new item which should greatly benefit both the City and Management employees. A significant number of public agencies and private businesses have found that the unusual strains experienced by top ad- ministrators call for extraordinary preventive health measures. From a cold economic standpoint, the organization is only protecting its sizable human resource investment. As the physical examination will only be conducted every other year, the annual cost is projected to be $1,400. II. MIDDLE MANAGEMENT GROUP (Additional Cost = $18,400) B-2 (Deferred Compensation Plan). Would be made available to Middle Management positions on the same basis as it is currently offered to Executive positions. Other than nominal administrative expenses, there should be no cost to the City. B-3 (Education Reimbursement). The factors influencing the improvement of this benefit cited under B-3 of the Executive Group also apply here. Total additional annual cost should not exceed $600. B-4 (Group Health Insurance). Would be improved to the same extent as that available to Executive positions. As Middle Management positions currently receive only the employee premium, the addition of 50% of the dependent premium will result in a fairly significant cost rise of $23 per member per month. Total cost rise is projected to be some $7,700 (this includes the fact that not all of these positions will take advantage of the dependent coverage). B-5 (Floating Holidays). Will be improved to reflect the longer hours regularly worked by this group of employees. Overtime compensation is not available to Management classifications and it is felt that the addition of two (2) eight-hour time off periods is an equitable approach to the situation. There should be no direct cost to the City and the additional days will not be allowed to accumulate past the fiscal year. B-6 (Life Insurance Plan). Will be offered to Middle Management classifications at a level reduced from that offered Executive positions. Total increased cost should not exceed $6,500 annually. B-8 (Physical Examination). The rationale utilized for this benefit under Item B-7 of the Executive benefits also applies here. The total annual cost is projected to be some $3,600.
