Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager 1`
Cynthia Kasten, Interim Human Resources Director
Resolution Amending the Pay Rates for Part -Time Positions Benchmarked to
Living Wage Positions
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Amending the Pay Rates
for Part -Time Positions Benchmarked to Living Wage Positions, if the City Council increases the
Living Wage for Fiscal Year 2019-2020,
BACKGROUND
A related item is on the Council's agenda for July, 1, 2019, that would, with Council approval,
increase the Living Wage rate for Fiscal Year 2019-2020. 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 3.2% effective July 1, 2018.
DISCUSSION
It has been determined that the Consumer Price Index, upon which the Living Wage increase is
calculated, has gone up 4.5% during the past year. If the City provides a 4.5% pay rate
adjustment to those employees in Living Wage positions effective July 1, 2019, there are
positions benchmarked to the City's Living Wage 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 4.5% cost of living
adjustment effective July 1, 2019. The affected positions and rates of pay are listed in Exhibit A.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
There was no specific outreach performed in relation to this item aside from the normal public
meeting agenda process.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Increasing the Living Wage by 4.5%, effective July 1, 2019, will result in a total estimated
increased cost to the City in FY 2019 - 2020 of $21,931. The estimated cost of adjusting the
hourly wage of City of Petaluma Living Wage positions is $10,364, and the estimated cost for
those part-time Recreation positions benchmarked to the City's Living Wage positions is
$11,567. The General Fund's share of these costs is $20,041.
