SUMMARY
The City of Hayward is facing a budget deficit and is taking measures to reduce costs to rebuild the target reserve. As a result, the City has taken a number of cost-saving measures to limit the impact this has on its employees and residents, such as reducing expenditures, holding and freezing vacant positions, and seeking concessions from its organized employee groups.
If approved, the proposed Salary and Benefits Resolution as amended would result in a General Fund savings of approximately $192,900. The savings will be achieved through Unrepresented Executive employees meeting an eighty-three and two-tenths (83.2) hour unpaid furlough obligation in fiscal year 2025-26, the approximate equivalent of four percent (4%) in salary costs. The City Clerk and City Attorney employment agreements will include similar amendments to result in additional General Fund savings of approximately $29,500.
