SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NOS. 14-019 AND 14-020
INCREASING THE MINIMUM WAGE FOR CITY OF CARSON EMPLOYEES

I. SUMMARY
This item to approve increasing the hourly minimum wage for City of Carson
part-time employees is being presented tonight at the request of Councilmember
Albert Robles. Resolution No. 14-019 (Exhibit No. 1) and Resolution No. 14-
020 (Exhibit No. 2) are being presented to the City Council for consideration
and the adoption of these resolutions would increase the minimum wage for City
of Carson part-time employees from $8.00 per hour to $10.77 per hour.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 14-019, "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE SALARY RANGES FOR
UNCLASSIFIED, PART-TIME, UNREPRESENTED, HOURLY
CLASSIFICATIONS TO INCREASE THE HOURLY MINIMUM WAGE
TO $10.77, EFFECTIVE MARCH 8, 2014."
2. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 14-020, "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE SALARY RANGES FOR AFSCME
UNCLASSIFIED, PART-TIME, HOURLY CLASSIFICATIONS TO
INCREASE THE HOURLY MINIMUM WAGE TO $10.77, EFFECTIVE
MARCH 8, 2014."
III. ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may take any other action deemed appropriate.
IV. BACKGROUND
This item increasing the hourly minimum wage for City of Carson part-time
employees is being presented tonight at the request of Councilmember Albert
Robles in response to President Obama's request to municipalities and
governmental agencies throughout the country to increase the hourly mimimum
11
City of Carson Report to Mayor and City Council
February 18, 2014
wage. President Obama's call for municipalities and other governmental
agencies to increase the minimum wage stems from Congress' inability to take
action in this regard. President Obama raised the minimum wage for Federal
contractors from $7.25 to $10.10, effective for new contracts beginning January
1, 2015.
The current Federal hourly minimum wage is $7.25 and an increase has not been
approved to date. The current State of California hourly minimum wage is
$8.00, with a scheduled increase to $9.00, effective July 1, 2014, and a second
increase to $10.00, effective January 1, 2016. However, according to news
reports, even with these state minimum wage increases, Californians would still
have less purchasing power than the State's minimum wage gave them in 1968.
The 1968 mimimum wage, if adjusted for inflation, would be worth $10.77 per
hour today. Therefore, Councilmember Robles is requesting that all City
classifications currently at the State's minimum wage of $8.00 per hour, plus
those classifications currently at an hourly rate of less than $10.77, be adjusted
to a new City minimum wage of $10.77 per hour. The hourly minimum wage
increase from $8.00 to $10.77 for City of Carson part-time employees is an
increase of 34.63 %, and will only affect 19 job classifications within the City's
part-time workforce. The salary ranges for those affected classifications are
being adjusted and are shown, in bold, on the attached resolutions/ salary
schedules.
It should be noted, though, that staff recommends that in addition to the
classifications being adjusted if resolution Nos. 14-019 and 14-020 are adopted,
the entire part-time salary plan should be revisited because the adjustments to
those 19 classifications will now cause some classifications in the "job series" to
be paid at the same rate and also cause compression with other job classifications
within the "job series."
V. FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is being calculated and will be provided to the City Council
under separate cover prior to the City Council meeting.
