July 13, 2006 (CC Meeting of 7/19/06)
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Resolution Adopting a Revised Benefit Program
for Management Employees and Rescinding Resolution No. 2005 -2355
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Attached is a draft resolution that revises the City's management benefits. The proposed
revisions to the Management Benefits Resolution are shown through the use of legislative
format in the attached draft resolution and are summarized as follows:
• In Section 4, page 3, the maximum accumulated Annual Leave balance for
Department Heads was increased from 516 to 520 hours to be consistent with an
8 -hour day formula.
• In Section 4, page 4, the maximum accumulated Annual Leave balance for
Management Employees was increased from 396 to 400 hours to be consistent
with an 8 -hour day formula.
• In Section 5, pages 5 and 6, the Vacation Leave accrual rates for 11 or less years
of service have been deleted, since this is a grandfathered benefit currently only
available to employees with 15 or more years of service and the maximum annual
accrual has been increased by one day.
• In Section 5, page 7, the sick leave accrual rate has been added for those
employees that are still receiving this grandfathered benefit.
• In Section 7, page 8, the medical insurance language has been updated, including
increasing the cash -back amount available in 2007 to $300, consistent with the
recently approved Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Competitive Service
employees.
• In Section 8, page 10, the separation benefits discussion for accumulated sick
leave has been updated to reflect the years of service for current eligible
employees.
• In Section 8, pages 10 and 11, the language has been revised to add a two - tiered
Retirement Health Savings Plan (RHSP) benefit. The recently approved MOU also
now includes a two - tiered RHSP benefit.

additional fuel costs.

Council's action on June 21 to approve reporting the value of employer paid
member contributions to the California Public Employees Retirement System
(CaIPERS) as additional compensation.
• In Section 14, page 13, the cell phone allowance paid to Department Heads has
been increased from $45 to $70 per month to more accurately reflect the cost of
monthly service, such as the cost of receiving email and text messages.
• A new Section 15, Outside Employment, on pages 13 -15 has been added, which
is generally consistent with the same rules applied to Competitive Service
employees.
• In Section 16, changes were made for the City Manager benefits for consistency
with other revisions for management benefits.
If approved, the final resolution will be printed with the legislative format deleted.
