2 Description/Analysis Issue Detail: On October 30, 2012, the City Council approved the City Attorney Employment Agreement (agreement number , Attachment 1). The agreement was amended on January 7, 2014, to reflect a salary increase, on April 7, 2014, to reflect a change in benefits, and again on November 29, 2014 to reflect a salary increase. In addition, as a term of the 2015 Personnel Resolution for Unrepresented Employees, the City Attorney, as well as the other Charter Officers and most management level employees, received a 1% salary increase to offset a 1% increase to their PERS contributions for a total 8% member contribution effective June 27, The City Council evaluated the performance of the City Attorney on October 27, Based on a positive evaluation, the City Council desires to amend the agreement and adjust the compensation of the City Attorney to reflect a 2% salary increase effective November 28, The Fourth Amendment to the City Attorney Agreement is attached as Exhibit A. The amendment harmonizes the Personnel Resolution with the Agreement as it pertains to PERS contributions, and also reflects the 2% merit increase. In all other respects, the Agreement remains unchanged. Policy Considerations: The City Council may adjust the salary of the appointive officers upon evaluation of performance. Economic Impacts: None. Environmental Considerations: Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, continuing administrative activities do not constitute a project and are therefore exempt from review. Sustainability: Not applicable. Commission/Committee Action: None. Rationale for Recommendation: From time to time the City Council may review the performance of its appointive officers and recommend a compensation adjustment for outstanding performance. Financial Considerations: The City Attorney position is an existing budgeted full-time equivalent position. In the current year, the department will cover the costs associated with this change. The City Attorney s budget will be adjusted to reflect the adjusted compensation in FY 2016/17 Proposed Budget. Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable. 2 of 10
