Body
ANALYSIS:
State regulations for public employers require disclosure of position classifications and corresponding compensation. In an effort to ensure compliance, and for even greater transparency, the City Council has previously adopted and updated the Position Library and Compensation Plan, a document which includes a list of all authorized employment positions for the City and their corresponding compensation ranges (“Plan”).
The Plan provides added organizational efficiency and permits departments to continue streamlining operations without impacting services levels. Additionally, it allows members of the public to see what any given position, even those not currently filled, would be paid. To this end, it is important to note that this document is strictly a resource document of available employment positions, as the positions listed will not necessarily be budgeted or funded in any given fiscal year. A current list of full time budgeted positions can be located on the City’s website.
The compensation range for positions represented by the Corona General Employees Association (CGEA), the Corona Supervisors Association (CSA) and the Corona Firefighter’s Association (CFA) and the Management/Confidential and Executive employee groups have been increased four (4) steps to incorporate pay increases previously authorized by the memorandums of understanding or employee benefit resolutions for these groups. The pay increase for these employees was previously covered in Footnote “E” and “F” in the Plan. Additionally, the compensation range for employees represented by the Corona Police Employees Association (CPEA) and the Corona Police Supervisors Association (CPSA) have been updated to incorporate pay increases that are presented for City Council consideration tonight. For Police Officer I, Police Officer II, Police Corporal, Police Sergeant, Police Lieutenant, and Police Captain the ranges were increased by two (2) steps and for Police Detective the range was increased by three (3) steps. The revisions to the compensation range for CPEA and CPSA employees will become effective the first full pay period following City Council approval of the CPEA and CPSA memorandums of understanding.
The requested revisions to the Plan are highlighted as follows: the compensation range adjustments for the above CPEA and CPSA positions (green), classification updates (yellow), and footnote updates (blue).
Position changes have been incorporated to add or delete classifications due to organizational restructuring and updates. While some of these changes have no fiscal impact, appropriations are being requested to fund two (2) existing Parks Maintenance Assistant positions on a full time benefitted basis, to fund three (3) part-time Receptionists positions, to increase the compensation step of seven (7) part time employees consistent with the updated compensation ranges, and to fund one (1) full time Financial Analyst III position. Additionally, Maintenance Services is reducing part-time funding to offset the cost of creating the full time Park Maintenance Assistant positions.
With the update to the compensation range for CGEA, CSA, CFA, Management/Confidential and Executive positions to incorporate pay increases previously authorized by memorandums of understanding and employee benefit resolutions, footnote “E” addressing the CGEA and CSA MOUs and Management/Confidential and Executive Resolutions changes that went into effect on November 14, 2017 and footnote “F” addressing the CFA MOU changes effective March 21, 2018 are no longer necessary and are being deleted. These deletions result in existing Footnote “G” being retitled to Footnote “E” and existing Footnote “H” being retitled to Footnote “F”. New Footnote “G” was added to indicate that the compensation range update for CPEA and CPSA members will be effective the first full pay period following October 17, 2018.
