SUBJECT
Title
Actions pertaining to the salary range for Executive Assistant to the City Attorney:
***RESOLUTION - Adopt the Eighteenth Amendment to the FY 2026 Salary Resolution No. 2025-177 amending Exhibit 2, Unit 2, Non-Represented Management and Confidential Classes, by modifying the salary range for Executive Assistant to the City Attorney to $5560 - $8340 effective January 1, 2026 (Subject to Mayor’s Veto)
Body
RECOMMENDATION
City Attorney’s Office recommends that Council authorize the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Salary Resolution No. 2025-177, modifying the salary range for Executive Assistant to the City Attorney to $5560 - $8340.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Attorney’s Office recommends Council approve the Eighteenth Amendment to the Salary Resolution to modify the salary range for Executive Assistant to the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND
The Executive Assistant to the City Attorney classification has been adversely impacted by salary compaction arising from increases to salary ranges for other classes, resulting in inequity, whereby incumbents in this classification have lower salaries than incumbents in subordinate classifications. To equitably compensate incumbents in the impacted classification, an adjustment to the salary range is required.
There is no requirement to meet and confer with bargaining units over this Salary Resolution, as the impacted classification is unrepresented.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This is not a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15378 and is therefore exempt from the CEQA 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
Adjustment of the salary range for the impacted classification will not result in increased costs directly, although department budgets may be impacted only to the extent the appointing authority exercises the option to increase incumbents’ salaries. It is expected that any resulting salary increases will be covered by existing salary savings.

Eighteenth Amendment to the Salary Resolution No. 2025-177
