CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO -REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Adopt Resolution establishing Confidential and Management Employees compensation
and benefits plan.
BACKGROUND
The City Administrator and the Advisory Committee of the San Bernardino Confidential
Management Association (SBCMA) have met and discussed various proposals for the
SBCMA employees. On December 1, 1999, SBCMA accepted a proposal subject to
approval by the Mayor and Common Council, which contains the following items:
Wages: A two- percent (2%) salary increase, effective January 1, 2000.
PERS 2% C& 55 - The City agrees to amend its PERS contract to provide
the 2% @ 55 benefit effective June 30, 2001, with all cost being borne by
the City.
Classification and Compensation Study: The City will conduct and pay for
a classification and compensation study. The contract was awarded on
December 20, 1999, and it is estimated that the study will be completed
by May 1, 2000. The City agrees to a re-opener after the study is
completed to discuss implementation by September 1, 2000.
President's Day Holiday: The City will add President's Day Holiday to the
list of designated holidays for a total of twelve (12) holidays, equivalent to
ninety-six (96) hours per year.
PERS Buy Back of Time The City agrees to amend its PERS contract to
allow employees to buy back previous eligible time, tax deferred, after the
employee contacts PERS and obtains their approval.
Health Benefit Cap: The Association agrees to freeze the health benefit
cap at the rate effective September 1, 2000.
Long Term Disability Insurance: The Association and City agree to
changes in the Long Term Disability Insurance policy that will extend the
waiting period from 30 to 60 days while increasing the coverage period
from a maximum of one year to a maximum of two years.
In addition to adopting the Resolution establishing Confidential and Management
Employees compensation and benefits plan, this action will clean-up language and
incorporate City practices into the new resolution which rescinds Resolution Nos. 89-
129, 97-77; 97-352; 97-357, 1999-197 and 1999-198. The more substantial language
changes include the following:
erection I. PERS (Safety Employees) — Changes to the language in this section
reflect the conversion of the 9% City paid PERS contribution to salary which was
negotiated into all safety employee contracts effective 1/1/00.
Section M. Acting Pay — Subsection One has been changed to allow the Mayor
to assign the duties of a higher acting classification in the event of a vacancy or
temporary absence of an employee. The previous language required such
assignments to be confirmed by Council at the next meeting at which it could be
considered. This language change reflects an attempt to approve efficiencies by
allowing short-term higher acting assignments to be processed administratively.
Section R. Tuition Cost — Language limiting the amount reimbursable to that
charged by the Cal State University. This change reflects current City practice
and is consistent with the language in other bargaining units MOU's.
Since the December 1, 1999 acceptance of the proposal the SBCMA Board of Directors
has requested the following additional contract change:
Section X. — Holidays — These language changes provide Police Safety
Management the ability to carryover a maximum of 112 hours of holiday time.
This will place Police Management in line with the POA.
The additional cost for this item is approximately $4,500 per employee (assuming the
maximum of 112 hours is paid out) at the time of separation. Since the number of
retirements in any given year is unknown it is difficult to determine the cost. If all
fourteen Police Management ,positions retired in the same year (and cashed out the
maximum 112 hours) the additional cost would be $61,850. A more realistic scenario
would be to assume two retirements per year, which would cost approximately $9,000
per year. These costs are in addition to those detailed below.
