Subject: Consideration of Un-represented Employees Pay Adjustment
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
The Board must approve wage scale adjustments for District un-represented
employees.
2. HISTORY
At the January 2017 Board meeting, the Board confirmed a 1.45% wage adjustment
based on October CPI-W approved at the December 2015 Board meeting. The Board
also approved to appoint the General Manager as the District negotiator with the un-
represented (management and technical) employees and set parameters for wage
negotiations.
The General Manager met with the un-represented employees group and discussed
the results of the negotiation with the Board in closed session at the February2017
Board meeting.
3. NEW INFORMATION
The results of the negotiation resulted in the Board agreeing to a 3.2% wage scale
adjustment (inclusive of the 1.45% CPI-W adjustment approved at the January 2017
Board meeting), a 1 % 2017 year-end merit bonus for performance that will be based
on a wage policy that is to be developed and signed by un-represented employees for
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The approved 3.2% wage range adjustment will exceed the 3% budgeted wage
increase by 1.2%. Savings and efficiencies identified in the District's operations are
sufficient to provide for the difference.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Approve the 2017 Unrepresented (Management and Technical) Wage Ranges that
reflect a 3.2% increase from 2016 wage ranges effective January 1, 2017 and the 1 %
2017 year-end merit bonus for performance for un-represented employees.
