Agenda Item 5.6
DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Revisions to the Personnel System
Prepared by: Sarah Monnastes, Human Resources Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider proposed updates to the City’s Personnel System, including
revisions to the Classification Plan and Salary Plan related to part-time job classifications.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the following: 1) Resolution Amending the Classification Plan; and 2) Resolution
Amending the Salary Plan for Part-Time Personnel.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed salary adjustments will result in an estimated annual increase of approximately
$31,000 in total personnel costs. The impact to the current fiscal year is approximately
$15,000, which can be absorbed within the adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget. No additional
appropriations are required as a result of this action.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
Pursuant to the City’s Personnel System Rules, a job description must be adopted for each
classification within the organization. These job descriptions define the essential duties,
responsibilities, qualifications, and requirements associated with each position and serve as
the foundation of the City’s Classification Plan. The Personnel System Rules also require City
Council approval of the Salary Plan, which is periodically updated to ensure continued
alignment with operational and regulatory requirements.
The proposed action includes updates to both the Classification Plan and Salary Plan to reflect
current operational needs, industry standards, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Analysis
Part-Time Classifications
A resolution amending the Classification Plan is included as Attachment 1 to this Staff Report.
The proposed action adopts updated job descriptions for the City’s Recreation and Aquatics
classifications, including Recreation Leader I, Recreation Leader II, Recreation Leader III,
Slide Attendant, Lifeguard, Head Lifeguard, Pool Manager, and Program Specialist
(Attachments 2 through 9). The updated classifications reflect a comprehensive review of job
duties, responsibilities, and qualification requirements to ensure consistency with current
operational practices and service delivery needs.
The revisions clarify levels of responsibility, supervisory expectations, and role distinctions
across classifications and standardize language related to safety requireme nts, emergency
response, and program operations. These updates promote consistency across classifications,
enhance organizational clarity, and support effective recruitment, training, and performance
management. Redline versions of the updated job descript ions are included as Attachments 11
through 18 for reference.
Salary Plan Amendment
Included in the City’s Personnel System are resolutions that address salary ranges for City
personnel. A resolution amending the Salary Plan is included as Attachment 10. This
resolution would amend the salary ranges for part-time classifications in response to the State
of California’s minimum wage increases effective January 1, 2026. Under state law, the
minimum wage is adjusted annually based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). For 2026, the Department of Finance calculated
an increase resulting in a statewide minimum wage of $16.90 per hour, representing an
approximate 2.49 percent adjustment, equal to $.40 cents an hour.
In response, the proposed salary updates adjust both the minimum and maximum ranges for
all part-time classifications, with the exception of the intern classification. Adjusting both ends
of the salary range for the part time classifications ensures continued compliance with state
law while also maintaining internal equity across classifications and preserving established pay
relationships. These adjustments also support employees’ ability to progress appropriately
within their salary ranges as experience and responsibility increase.
The proposed changes do not alter staffing levels or organizational structure. However, nearly
all part-time employees will receive an hourly increase of $.40. These adjustments ensure the
City’s compensation framework remains compliant with state wage requirements, competitive
within the labor market, and aligned with established internal classification relationships.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The City Council Agenda was posted.
