ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
A. Draft Resolution No. 2021- ___, Salary and Hourly Compensation Schedule for City
Employees (page A-1)
B. Resolution No. 2021-26 (page B-1)
BACKGROUND:
On April 4, 2016, Governor Brown approved Senate Bill No. 3 (SB 3), raising the state’s
minimum wage from $10 per hour to $15 per hour incrementally over six year s beginning
January 1, 2017. Since 2017, the City has adjusted the minimum wage for certain positions
in compliance with state law.

CITYOF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
At the November 17, 2020 meeting, Staff advised the City Council that the minimum wage
increase would eventually result in a compression and compliance issue with City policies
as of January 1, 2022. Compression issues develop over time and occurs when there is
little difference in pay between employees regardless of differences in their respective
knowledge, skills, experience, or abilities. Additionally, compression becomes apparent
when classifications begin to overlap in salary wages. As for City policy, the City’s
Competitive Service Employee Personnel Rules provides policies and procedures that
govern compensation, and inherently compression concerns. Specifically, Rule V of the
Competitive Service Employee Personnel Rules states:
“compensation shall be determined from a salary schedule of ranges
established by Resolution of the City Council. Each range shall be
approximately thirty percent (30%) from the bottom of the range to the top
of the range.”
As a result, Staff also advised the City Council that a salary survey (also known as a
compensation study) would be warranted to identify any potential compression issues and
to recommend any adjusted wages to ensure internal equity. It is important to note that
the City is currently conducting a classification and compensation study that analyzes all
job classifications, salaries, and the City's organizational structure.
Thus, this staff report addresses the immediate concern of adjusting the minimum wage
for certain part-time positions, and that the more comprehensive classification and
compensation study currently underway will address, among other things, the
compression and City policy concerns at a future meeting.
DISCUSSION:
On January 1, 2022, the state’s minimum wage will increase to $15 per hour. As a result
of the minimum wage increase, the classifications of Administrative/Public Works/Cable
Intern and Recreation Leader are identified as having pay steps that fall below the new
minimum wage requirement, warranting an increase, as shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1. 2021 Part-Time Hourly Rate Schedule
Hourly Rates
PART-TIME POSITIONS BOTTOM TO TOP
Administrative/Public Works/Cable Intern 14.31 -- 32.79
Recreation Leader 14.31 -- 15.27
To address the minimum wage concern shown in the table above, Staff recommends
increasing the bottom of the hourly rate range to $15 per hour for the following part-time
positions:
Table 2. 2022 Part-Time Hourly Rate Schedule
Hourly Rates
PART-TIME POSITIONS BOTTOM TO TOP
Administrative/Public Works/Cable Intern 15.00 -- 32.79
Recreation Leader 15.00 -- 19.50
2
In the table above, staff adjusted the bottom step for both Classifications and increased
the top step of the Recreation Leader classification according to Rule V.
CONCLUSION:
Staff seeks Council approval to increase the minimum wage for the Administrative/Public
Works/Cable Intern and Recreation Leader classifications.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Direct Staff to make specific compensation changes to part-time positions in
compliance with the minimum wage state laws.
2. Take other action, as deemed appropriate.
