RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution approving salary schedules for police safety employees in accordance with the Salary Initiative Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
The Salary Initiative Ordinance initially adopted by the Culver City electorate in 1953, and subsequently amended in 1983, require that 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. On August 27, 2019, the City Council for the City of Los Angeles approved a new 3-year contract with the Los Angeles Police Department effective August 1, 2019.
DISCUSSION
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.
The memorandum of understanding approved by the City of Los Angeles includes the following cost of living adjustments. Base salaries for Culver City sworn police safety employees (CCPD) are required to be adjusted by the average.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
No additional fiscal impact. The associated costs have already been approved and incorporated into the City’s FY 2020/2021 Adopted Budget.
