SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. sole AGENDA ITEM
r
MEETING DATE: September 22, 1998 CITY MANAGER:
ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER PREPARED BY: PAPI
SUBJECT(S):
1. Approval of Amendments to the Letter of Understanding Between the City and the Saratoga
Management Organization, dated September 4, 1996.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
1. Move to adopt the Resolution amending the Letter of Understanding (LOU) between the City and
the Saratoga Management Organization (SMO).
REPORT SUMMARY:
At the September 16 City Council meeting, the City Manager reviewed three proposed changes to the
current LOU with SMO. Subsequent to that meeting, the City Manager met and conferred with SMO,
who, in the spirit of cooperation, agreed to a 3% salary adjustment for the two -year period ending June
30, 1999. The salary ranges in the attached Resolution reflect this 3% increase.
Additionally, and as previously discussed, the Resolution contains proposed language to be added to
Section 5 of the LOU, Control Point, that would allow greater flexibility for the City Council when
making hiring decisions such as was the case with the most recent hiring of the Finance Director.
Lastly, revised language is proposed for Section 8 of the LOU to restate the current dental insurance
benefits to be consistent with the language in the MOU with SEA.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
None directly. Adjustments to management salary ranges do not result in any adjustments to
management salaries. Rather, management salaries are adjusted annually on each management
employee's anniversary date based upon their prior year's performance.
r�� I
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Nothing additional.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
The Resolution will not be adopted and the current LOU will remain as is, meaning that management
salary ranges will remain unchanged since adoption of the LOU on September 4, 1996.
ATTACHMENT(S):
1. Resolution Amending LOU
