BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Fire and Police Safety Salary Schedule
The Salary Initiative Ordinance, initially adopted by the Culver City electorate in 1953, and subsequently amended in 1983, requires that the City Council adjust salaries for its sworn police and fire employees by an average increase of base salaries provided by the City and/or County of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles City Council approved an agreement for a successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Association of United Firefighters of Los Angeles City (UFLAC), effective January 2, 2023. The Los Angeles City Council approved an agreement for a successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Association of the Los Angeles City Police Officers, Lieutenant, and Below Representation Unit, effective January 2, 2023.
All agencies that are members of CalPERS are required to ensure that pay schedules are publicly adopted and available as prescribed by the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, §570.5 and §571 (b). “Publicly available” is defined as posted at the employer’s office or immediately accessible and available for public review. Placing the adopted pay schedules on the employer’s internet website meets this requirement. As mentioned above, the City of Los Angeles recently approved a successor Memorandum of Understanding that includes the following cost of living adjustment. Base salaries for CCFFA and CCPOA are required to be adjusted by the average.

City Attorney Executive Employment Agreement
The City Attorney’s employment agreement calls for the salary to be adjusted each year in December by an amount equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for the Los Angeles Metropolitan area for the immediately preceding 12 months. This was agreed upon to ensure the City Attorney’s salary remained competitive with other similar positions in the labor market. In accordance with the City Attorney’s Executive Employment Agreement, the CPI adjustment from November 2021 to November 2022 is an increase of 5.89 percent effective, December 4, 2022. A resolution containing an updated Executive Management Salary Schedule reflecting the increase to the City Attorney’s salary schedule is included with this report as Attachment 2.
