TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: John C. Brown, City Manages=
Agenda Item #3.0
SUBJECT: Resolution Amending the Pay Rates for Part -Time Positions
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the Pay Rates
for Part -Time Positions if the City Council increases the Living Wage for FY 2015/16, effective
July 1, 2015.
BACKGROUND
A related item is on the Council's agenda for June 1, 2015, that would, with Council approval,
increase the Living Wage rate for FY 2015/16. The City's part-time classifications of Building
Attendant, Marina Attendant, Tiny Tots Teacher I, and Ramp Attendant are subject to the Living
Wage. These positions, and Recreation positions benchmarked to the City's Living Wage
positions, were last adjusted by 2.6% effective July 1, 2014.
DISCUSSION
It has been determined that the Consumer Price Index upon which the Living Wage increase is
calculated has gone up 2.7% during the past year. If the City provides a 2.7% pay rate adjustment
to those employees in Living Wage positions effective July 1, 2015, there are positions
benchmarked to Living Wage position classifications in the Recreation Services Division that
have been treated in the same manner. To maintain pay rate consistency among those positions
that are related and /or similar, but are not subject to the Living Wage ordinance, it is
recommended that the Council also grant those part-time position classifications the 2.7% cost of
living adjustment effective July 1, 2015. The affected positions and rates of pay are listed in
Attachment A.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Increasing the Living Wage by 2.7 %, effective July 1, 2015, will result in a total estimated
increased cost to the City in FY 2015/16 of $10,918. The General Fund's share of this cost is
$9,469. The estimated cost of adjusting the hourly wage of City of Petaluma Living Wage
positions is $6,350 and $4,568 for those Recreation positions benchmarked to the City's Living
Wage positions.
