RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the City Council adopts the attached Resolution and approves an amendment to the City of Hayward Salary Plan for fiscal year 2016 (“FY 2016”), which designates all classifications and the corresponding salary range for employment in the City of Hayward government as of March 22, 2016, superseding Resolution No. 15-232 and all amendments thereto.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
After a public hearing on March 10, 2016, the Personnel Commission recommends that the City Council adopt an amended FY 2016 Salary Plan for the classified service. Changes to the Salary Plan include a title change for two (2) classifications, the addition of one (1) new classification, and equity adjustments for the Police Captain classification in the Hayward Police Management Unit (HPMU) as follows:
1. Solid Waste Manager retitled to Solid Waste Program Manager.
2. Equipment Manager retitled to Fleet Maintenance Manager.
3. Digital Applications Developer - The Digital Applications Developer classification will be responsible for overseeing the City’s web properties, developing and producing web themes and templates, generating graphic elements, and implementing interactive features for the City of Hayward’s digital presence, including the City’s website, email newsletters, mobile applications and social media platforms. The Digital Applications Developer will be responsible for carrying out maintenance, optimization and troubleshooting for the City’s public web properties and organizational intranet. The salary for the Digital Applications Developer is $39.72 at Step 1 and $48.28 at Step 5, which is set internally to the Information Technology Analyst II.
4. HPMU Equity Adjustments - Per Section 6.13 of the HPMU Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the Human Resources staff conducted a salary survey for the Police Captain classification to determine how the salary compares to the market average. The salary survey results indicated that the Police Captain classification is thirteen percent (13%) below the market average and will be granted equity increases phased in over two (2) years to bring the salaries up to market average. The hourly salary range for Police Captain is $72.86 at Step 1 and $88.55 at Step 5.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no recommended change to salary related to the title changes of Solid Waste Manager to Solid Waste Program Manager and Equipment Manager to Fleet Maintenance Manager.
The addition of the Digital Applications Developer position will cost approximately $161,000 annually. Funding for this position has been requested and approved as part of the FY2016 operating budget.
The equity increases for the Police Captain positions are required as a result of labor negotiations and to comply with the City’s compensation philosophy, which ensures fair and competitive wages for City employees. These related costs are not included in the FY 2016 Adopted Budget since the conclusion of the labor contracts and classification studies followed the adoption of the budget. The total fiscal impact for the equity adjustments as they pertain to FY 2016 and future years was detailed as part of the FY 2016 mid-year budget review. The approximate cost associated with this equity increase and amendment to the FY 2016 Salary Plan is $56,253.
