REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TJ MILLER, Interim Director
Personnel Services Department

SUBJECT
Title
***RESOLUTION - Adopt the 8th Amendment to the FY 2023 Salary Resolution No. 2022-152, amending Exhibit 2, Unit 2, Non-Represented Management and Confidential Classes to decrease the E13 minimum salary range from $9,766 to $9,092 per month for the affected classification of Project Liaison/Program Administrator, effective January 2, 2023 (Subject to Mayor’s Veto)
Body
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Council approve the Eighth Amendment to the FY 2023 Salary Resolution No. 2022-152 in Exhibit 2, Unit 2, Non-Represented Management and Confidential Classes, to decrease the E13 minimum salary range from $9,766 to $9,092 per month for the affected Project Liaison/Program Administrator classification, effective January 2, 2023.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The E13 Executive Pay Range was added to Exhibit 2, Unit 2, Non-Represented Management and Confidential Classes, effective October 3, 2022, by the Third Amendment to the FY 2023 Salary Resolution No. 2022-152. When the E13 Executive Pay Range of $9,766 - $12,501 per month was developed, it inadvertently reflected a salary spread designed for salary steps when the intention was to develop an Executive Pay Range with a 37.50% spread. Decreasing the E13 minimum salary range from $9,766 to $9,092 per month, to an E13 Executive Pay Range of $9,092 - $12,501 per month will allow maximum flexibility within the Executive Pay Range. Currently this only affects the Project Liaison/Program Administrator classification. It is recommended that the Project Liaison/Program Administrator classification be amended to decrease the minimum salary range from $9,766 to $9,092 per month, effective January 2, 2023. This action will not affect any current incumbent salaries or require additional appropriations from departments and decreasing the minimum salary range may result in a future cost savings to departments.
To implement these actions, it is necessary to approve the Eighth Amendment to FY 2023 Salary Resolution No. 2022-152.
BACKGROUND
The E13 Executive Pay Range was added to Exhibit 2, Unit 2, Non-Represented Management and Confidential Classes by the Third Amendment to the FY 2023 Salary Resolution No. 2022-152. The E13 salary range of $9,766 - $12,501 was developed to mitigate compaction issues between classifications and other pay ranges in Exhibit 2. However, after reviewing the implementation of this pay range within the classification system, the current pay range inadvertently reflects a salary spread designed for salary steps when the intention was to develop a salary range consistent with a 37.50% spread. Decreasing the E13 minimum salary range from $9,766 to $9,092 is recommended to allow maximum flexibility in addition to allowing this pay range to be considered for other classifications as reviews of structures are completed periodically. The E13 Executive Pay Range will be $9,092 - $12,501 per month.
At this time, the only affected classification assigned to the E13 Executive Pay Range is in Exhibit 2, Non-Represented Management and Confidential Classes, the Project Liaison/Program Administrator. It is recommended that the Project Liaison/Program Administrator classification be amended to decrease the minimum salary range from $9,766 to $9,092 per month, effective January 2, 2023. There will be no impact to current incumbents.
The City Attorney’s Office has approved the Eighth Amendment to Salary Resolution No. 2022-152 as to form.

By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 this item does not qualify as a “project” and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference is not implicated because this item does not involve public contracting or bidding with the City of Fresno.
FISCAL IMPACT
Amending the Salary Resolution will not require additional appropriations for Fiscal Year 2023 and decreasing the E13 minimum salary range may result in a future cost savings to departments.
