FROM: Roger C. DeFratis, Assistant Personnel Director
SUBJECT: Information/Impact of New Minimum Wage
DATE: January 13 , 1988 (7318)
COPIES:
------------------------------------------------------------
Please find attached the information you requested regarding
the impact of a new minimum wage of $4 . 25 effective July 1,
1988 .
Also we have contacted our consultants regarding the "Kennedy
Bill" proposing mandatory health coverage for employees
earning $4 . 19 or less. Both the Wyatt Company and Attorney
Coleman Walsh agree that the bill has little chance of
passing, and would have no effect on the City given the new
minimum wage of $4 . 25 in California.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

REPORT ON NEW MINIMUM WAGE
There are three major areas of financial concern in imple-
menting the new minimum wage order effective in July 1988 .
Those programs directly impacted are the Crossing Guards,
Recreation, and Public Building Custodial positions.
1. Crossing Guards
Assuming that the number of authorized crossing guard
stations and hours of staffing remain unchanged, the in-
creased cost of the program would be $78, 900. This
impact could be minimized by reducing the numbers of
hours quaranteed from 6 hours to 5 hours, reducing the
number of stations manned, and/or transferring
responsibility for some stations to the new City of
Highland, or other agencies.
2 . Recreation Positions
The Recreation Aides ($3 .75) and Groundsmen ($3 . 50) are
the positions currently paid under the new minimum
($4 .25) . However, the Recreation Aide is the first
position in a progression of positions (Recreation
Leader and Senior Recreation Leader) which would be also
impacted by raising the minimum wage. The increased cost
for merely raising the Recreation Aide and Groundsman to
the new minimum is approximately $30, 000, but rises to
$47, 000 if the progressive positions are adjusted
accordingly.
3 . Custodial Positions
The Custodial Aide position has a five step range ($3 . 50
- $3 .70 - $3 .90 - $4 . 10 - $4 . 30) where the employee
progresses through the salary range in 3 month
increments. The increased cost of adjusting the first
step to $4 . 25/hr and the others accordingly would be
$35, 606. There are several alternatives to minimize the
cost, one of which is a flat salary for all custodial
aides, and another would be to reduce the number of
steps or increase the time between steps.
All the other departments, except Public Services, reported
minimal or no impact from the minimum wage increase. In the
next fiscal budget, Public Services plans to request 10-20
minimum wage workers for special projects, which, given the
new minimum wage, would cost an additional $13 , 500. No
permanent positions are affected, only temporary or part-time
positions as listed on the attached current resolution.
This report does not consider the impact on contracted
services, but those contracts are sure to reflect the in-
crease at renewal .

Re: Changes in California Minimum Wage
Dear Ray:
I am responding to your request for information regarding
recent changes in the California minimum wage law. The current
minimum wage is $3. 35 per hour. The minimum wage can be changed
by three methods : 1 ) enactment of a statute by the United States
Congress ; 2 ) enactment of a statute by the California legislature
and 3 ) issuance of an order by the California State Industrial
Welfare Commission ( IWC) .
On December 18 , 1987 , the IWC issued an order raising
the California minimum wage to $4 .25 per hour effective July
1 , 1988 . The only exception to the new minimum wage requirement
is for tipped employees . The exception is not relevant to
the City ' s situation. The U.S. Congress has pending before
it, a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $4 . 25 per
States , such as California may enact their own minimum wage
laws as long as the state minimum wage matches or exceeds the
federal standard. It is difficult to predict the likelihood
of the federal minimum wage being increased over the $4 . 25
level . Within the last year, California legislature passed
several new minimum'wage laws , however each of them was vetoed
by the Governor .

We are in the process of obtaining a copy of the
new IWC minimum wage order and will forward a copy to you.
I am available at your convenience to discuss this
matter or to provide you with additional advice or assistance. .
Very truly yours ,
