(20-371) Resolution No. 15656, "Amending the Salary Schedule for Part-Time Classifications Effective June 7, 2020 to Reflect Changes to the City of Alameda Minimum Wage and to Maintain Adequate Differentials Between Part-Time Job Categories." Adopted. Urged an understanding of consequences of the resolution based on the City's treasury; stated raising the minimum salary to $15 has become an opportunity to raise all salaries for City employees: Jay Garfinkle, Alameda. The Human Resources Director stated the majority of costs, $150,000, comes from raising the minimum wage; compaction with other positions has been reviewed; some salaries are being moved and adjusted; not all positions will receive a salary increase; there have been adjustments to salary bands; the increases to Recreation and Parks Department positions will only occur should work be available. Councilmember Oddie moved approval of the staff recommendation. Vice Mayor Knox White seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Daysog stated the compaction impacts seem high; inquired whether the increases were calculated on a pro-rated basis and how the differential has been calculated. The Human Resources Director responded staff looked at keeping the salary ranges aligned; stated staff has performed several minimum wage increases without many adjustments to other salary ranges; there needed to be adjustments; there is an expense should all increases be provided. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers Daysog: No; Knox White: Aye; Oddie: Aye; Vella: Aye; and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 4. Noes: 1.
