...Summary
The City Council approves all salary schedules which include classification titles and pay rates/ranges at the time a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for each bargaining unit is approved; when updates to the compensation and benefits for unrepresented employees are approved; or when specific wage and/or classification title adjustments are needed. The City has a longstanding practice of posting these approved salary schedules on the City website as well as having copies available upon request. In addition, the City Council approves the employment agreement for the City Manager which includes salary information. The amount of monthly compensation the City Council receives is addressed in the Fort Bragg Municipal Code, Section 2.04.060 and is set in accordance with California Government Code §36516.
The California Public Employees' Retirement Code requires the City to have a publicly adopted and posted Compensation Schedule.
