Backeround:
City of San Bernardino Charter, Article V, Section 103, Vacancy, provides that upon a vacancy
in the office of the City Manager, the Assistant City Manager shall be designated as Acting City
Manager until a City Manager is appointed. Therefore, upon the retirement of Charles McNeely,
Andrea Travis-Miller has been designated as Acting City Manager effective May 2, 2012, by
operation of the Charter that also imposes a mandatory duty on the Assistant City Manager to
a
perform all duties of the City Manager until a new City Manager has assumed the duties of that
i office.
i
For those employees temporarily assuming higher-acting positions and duties, the practice of the
City is to temporarily compensate ese individuals at the step in the higher position' salary
th s
range that gives the employee at least a five percent (5%) increase in pay. Such practice is
reflected in the Management and Confidential Compensation and Benefits Plan for those
i positions appointed to a higher-acting position where it provides for acting pay for non-safety

employees at the first step of the salary range for the acting position next above the employee's
regular salary, which would provide the acting employee at least a five percent (5%) salary
�r increase. The Assistant City Manager position is different in that it assumes the higher-acting
position of City Manager by operation of law and is not covered by the above-mentioned
benefits resolution. In the past, the City has followed its usual practice and compensated the
Assistant City Manager performing the higher-acting duties of City Manager at the step in the
City Manager's salary range that gave him/her at least a five percent (5%) increase in pay.
However, in order to provide acting pay to Ms. Travis-Miller, it is necessary to re-establish the
salary range for the City Manager position. Resolution No. 2008-33 previously established the
range,but upon revision in 2011, it was eliminated.
Upon re-establishment of Salary Range 4740 at $17,791 - $21, 622/month and in accordance
with City Practice, it is requested that Andrea Travis-Miller be placed at Step 1 of Range 4740,
$17,791, to compensate her for the Charter-required assumption of the higher-acting position of
City Manager.
