Resolution 14863CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 14863
AMENDING THE CITY OF ALAMEDA EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT (EXME)
COMPENSATION PLAN TO INCLUDE FINANCE DIRECTOR, AND AMENDING
THE EXME SALARY SCHEDULE TO ESTABLISH THE FINANCE DIRECTOR
SALARY RANGE AND MODIFY THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND FIRE CHIEF
SALARY RANGES
WHEREAS, in 2010, in an effort to respond to the economic recession, the
City downgraded the then vacant Finance Director position and created a Controller
classification. Since then, it has been determined that the responsibilities of the
position are more appropriately represented as a Director; and
WHEREAS in order fully recognize the responsibilities of the position,
including creating a two-year budget, addressing the City’s critical Other Post
Employment Benefit (OPEB) obligations, balancing the City’s multiple funds in a
difficult economic climate, and other advanced municipal finance duties, it is
appropriate to establish the position as Finance Director in the EXME Compensation
Plan and authorize the provision of the EXME Auto Allowance; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the amended Alameda Police Managers
Association and Alameda Fire Chiefs Association Memorandas of Understanding
which included salary increases, has resulted in salary compaction between the
Police Captains and the Chief of Police, and between Division Chiefs assigned to
serve as Deputy Chief or on non-suppression assignments and the Fire Chief ; and
WHEREAS, in order to alleviate this issue, a 5% salary increase is proposed
for the Chief of Police, and a 7.5% salary increase for the Fire Chief; and
WHEREAS, to avoid the issue of compaction in the future, the Chiefs’ salaries
shall be adjusted as warranted, in order to maintain at least a 5% total compensation
differential between the Chief of Police and Fire Chief classifications, and their
respective subordinate classifications.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
Alameda that the City of Alameda Executive Management Salary Schedule is hereby
amended by establishing the salary range and steps for Finance Director, and
modifying the salary range and salary steps for the classifications of Chief of Police
and Fire Chief, and allowing the salary ranges and salary steps of the classifications
of Chief of Police and Fire Chief to maintain at least a 5% total compensation
differential on an on-going basis between the Chief classification and their respective
subordinate classifications, designating those as applicable to these classifications in
the service of the City of Alameda.
