Approve the revised job classifications for District's nonrepresented positions as prepared by Ralph Andersen & Associates. 2 . Accept the September 3, 1992 compensation report prepared by Ralph Andersen & Associates and approve as recommended the revised salary pay plan for the classifications listed, 3 . Implement, retroactive to April 1, 1991, the equivalent to a step-to-step adjustment with a maximum of 6. 2% (6 points) placement. As noted in this report, discussions are currently in progress with the employee steering committee exploring placement alternatives that may provide for greater equity among employees in terms of designated placement within the new salary ranges. 4 . Approve a 2 point (2%) adjustment in all salary ranges for all General Manager appointees in nonrepresented District classifications retroactive to April 1, 1992 to modify the ranges to reflect labor market salary adjustments occurring after May, 1992 . 5. Approve the addition of an Employee Assistance Program for nonrepresented employees, with monthly premiums fully paid by the District. 6. Approve the transfer of the monthly premiums for the District's current long term disability insurance coverage , plan from nonrepresented employees to the District, thus adding long-term disability coverage to the nonrepresented employees' benefit package. 7 . Direct staff to review and present to the Board for consideration the addition of post-retirement medical plan coverage for nonrepresented employees, with monthly premiums fully paid by the employee. 8. Approve the establishment of an administrative leave program for management employees, subject to review by the Board prior to implementation.

At that time, I recommended that a comprehensive review of the District salary system for nonrepresented classifications be conducted by an outside consultant. The timing of this comprehensive review was to be tied to the staffing reorganization plan that was to be based on changing staffing and growth needs at the District, the formulation of a Strategic Plan for the Nineties, and the organizational improvement program. You approved implementation of the staffing reorganization plan in March, 1992 (refer to reports R-92-5 and R-92-27) . On February 27, 1992, the District entered into a professional services agreement with Ralph Andersen & Associates to conduct a salary and compensation study and a comparative fringe benefits study for nonrepresented District classifications based on the adopted staffing reorganization plan. The study was initially expected to be completed by April 15, 1992, but was extended due to the addition of a comprehensive review and rewriting of job classifications for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The classification manual was completed in July 1992 . All nonrepresented employees were included at various steps in the review of their particular job classification. The compensation report, containing the revised pay plan, salary recommendations, and comparative fringe benefit information, was completed September 3 , 1992 , and previously forwarded to you. Nonrepresented staff have had an opportunity to review the report, and Mr. Doug Johnson of Ralph Andersen & Associates met with staff on September 14 to respond to questions or concerns. The employee steering committee also reviewed the report and relayed written comments to the management team on the benefits portion of the report. Classification Manual The classification manual contains revised classifications for all nonrepresented positions, including those new positions created as part of the staffing reorganization plan, such as support services supervisor and visitor services supervisor. In addition, the classifications include the increased duties and responsibilities for various positions resulting from the staffing reorganization plan. The new classifications also comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability with respect to hiring and employment. Salary Pay Plan Based on the new and revised classifications resulting from the staffing reorganization plan, an analysis of the District's current compensation plan and an analysis of market trends, a revised salary pay plan has been developed. Key components of this salary plan include: * An equitable and structured salary plan; * Consistent and equitable internal salary relationship differentials; * Salary ranges which are competitive with the labor market; * Compensation guidelines which are easily integrated with the R-92-108 Page 3 District's compensation system and which provide the tools necessary to maintain the internal equity of the plan over time. Recommended labor market agencies to be used in future salary plan updates. The designated agencies are: East Bay Regional Park District, Marin County Open Space District, Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, and the cities of Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Milpitas, Mountain View, San Jose, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Saratoga, and Sunnyvale. (State of California and Marin Water District are included for Supervising Ranger class only. ) Specific salary recommendations were developed for each classification in the new staffing reorganization plan by applying the compensation guidelines along with the labor market survey data. The attached Salary Range Recommendations Set to Labor Market Median chart reflects a salary plan that is internally equitable while maintaining a competitive relationship with the external market place. The attached Revised Pay Plan chart identifies each class, assigned salary range, the minimum and maximum monthly salary, and the minimum and maximum annual salary based on the results of Ralph Andersen & Associates study. Salary Plan Implementation Implementation options are listed on page 25 of the compensation report. Because of the current budgetary climate and the potential for funding reductions to this year's budget, it would not be fiscally responsible to implement the full step to step placement option. Given that the compensation report indicates that District salaries are in all cases below, and in some cases significantly below the labor market median, and that the District's nonrepresented staff has not received a salary adjustment since April 1991, 1 am recommending, as of the writing of this report, that the Board implement the salary plan, retroactive to April 1, 1992 , by approving the equivalent to a step-to-step adjustment, with a maximum of 6. 2% (6 points) placement. This corresponds to an overall 5. 2% increase in salary costs or $56,820. Including payment of PERS, the overall cost adjustment is $64, 207 . Based on discussions currently in progress with the employee steering committee, I may recommend an alternate implementation plan that corresponds to an overall 5. 2% cost. The steering committee has been exploring alternatives that may provide for greater equity among employees in terms of designated placement within the new salary ranges. It should be noted that this 5. 2% figure includes the funding necessary to bring the incumbent in the planning technician position to the beginning step of the position's new salary range. Labor Market Adjustment As noted in the Ralph Andersen & Associates ' report on pages 23 and 24, an additional adjustment in the proposed salary ranges is required to ensure that the salary recommendations are equitable with the current labor market for the District's 1991-1992 fiscal R-92-108 Page 4 year. Because the District's fiscal year begins in April, it is difficult to determine an appropriate time period to conduct an effective labor market analysis. of the 15 agencies included in the labor market survey, 10 agencies have a fiscal year which begins between July and October and 5 agencies have fiscal years which occur between December and April. The survey data for this compensation study were collected in May 1992, and no anticipated increases were factored into the data for those agencies where salaries might change after May 1992. Therefore, in order to maintain competitiveness of District positions with the labor market and to implement fully the results of the compensation study, I recommend an additional two point (2%) adjustment, moving the incumbent staff members accordingly with their ranges. Comparative Fringe Benefit Study The attached Benefits Analysis chart presents a summary of benefits provided by public agencies and identifies the District's competitive status. Key findings of the analysis are: All but two of the fifteen survey agencies provide an employee assistance program which include such services as counseling, therapy, drug treatment and other assistance programs. The District is one of the few agencies that does not pay for long term disability coverage (it is currently available at employee expense) . All of the survey agencies provide the option for continued health benefits after retirement with a contribution of up to 100% by the employee. All but five agencies provide administrative leave for management staff. In order to remain competitive in the labor market and to better meet employee needs, I recommend the addition of an employee assistance program for nonrepresented employees, with monthly premiums fully paid by the District. I also recommend that the long term disability plan be provided for nonrepresented employees at District expense. The estimated cost of implementing an employee assistance program for nonrepresented employees is $1, 000 to $2 , 500 per year, depending on levels of coverage and utilization. The cost of providing long term disability coverage to nonrepresented employees is approximately $6, 480 per year. The study also indicates the District is non-competitive in the areas of post-retirement health care coverage for nonrepresented employees and administrative leave for management employees. I recommend the implementation of these programs contingent upon the submission and approval of specific guidelines for each program. COST IMPLICATIONS Cost estimates for the above recommendations are as follows: 1. Maximum 6.2% (6 point) $64 , 200 including PERS Placement in New Ranges contributions or Equivalent R-92-108 Page 5, 2 . Two percent (2 point) $25, 900 including PERS Adjustment in All Ranges contributions 3 . Employee Assistance $1, 000 to $2, 000 per year Program 4 . Long Term Disability $6, 500 per year Coverage As noted in report R-92-37 presented at your March 25, 1992 meeting to adopt the budget for fiscal year 1991-1992, funding was not specifically included in the 1991-1992 budget figures for implementation of the classification, salary, and fringe benefit study. Funding is available to implement the proposed salary and benefit changes, based primarily on a $94,900 credit the District has with PERS resulting from AB 702 (Chapter 83 of 1991) adjustments in the District's retirement account. Complete copies of both the classification manual and the compensation report are available at the District office for public review.

Each year, after the close of the legislative session, we ask our state legislators to speak to an assembly of city councilmembers from throughout this county, on an issue of timely importance. We are devoting this year's program to exploring the complex interrelationships between our member cities and the various other entities which govern our same constituents,and consequently we believe it would be valuable to have your participation. Most residents of San Mateo County are subject to several governing agencies with overlapping jurisdictions. In addition to the state and county governments, and one or more school districts, they may reside within a city and one or more special districts. As fiscal resources become increasingly scarce, allocating those resources among these agencies is becoming painfully difficult. At the same time, more and more state laws are infringing upon local authority, and recently there has been significant movement toward greater governmental coordination at the regional level. Clearly the time has arrived to begin a comprehensive re-evaluation of the relationships between state and local government and among the different components of local government. Perhaps the best way to start this process is for public officials in each governmental component to develop a better understanding of the other entities. With this year's Legislators' Breakfast we hope to initiate a five-way dialog by extending an invitation to elected board members from the school districts and special distracts throughout this county, as well as our county supervisors. We are asking our state legislators to address this issue, and are posing the following four questions to them: • In considering proposed legislation,by what criteria is it determined that a matter should be addressed at the state level rather than be locally controlled? • Should there be any shifting of current responsibilities or authority from state to local level,or vice versa? • In what ways might we rearrange the allocation of resources and responsibilities among the different components of local government? • Are organizational consolidations becoming increasingly necessary? Are there any other benefits (to our constituents) besides reducing overhead? The breakfast program will be held at the Holiday Inn in Foster City on Saturday,November 21, from 8:30 to 10:30. Cost will be $20. and reservations will be necessary (checks payable to the City of Brisbane,please). Contact Lee Panza, Brisbane Mayor pro Tempore, at 467-1515 (City Hall) or 468-3821 (home).
