CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 12/15/2014 SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Michele Warren, Director of Human Resources SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-106 modifying the Non -Associated Salary and Benefits Resolution and amending the Employment Agreement Between the City and the Chief Assistant City Attorney Statement of Issue: The Non -Associated Resolution establishes compensation and benefits for non -associated employees, including the position of Chief Assistant City Attorney. It is proposed that compensation for the position of Chief Assistant City Attorney be modified upward ten percent (10%). Benefits will remain consistent with that contained within the NA Resolution No. 2014-32, to include provision of a vehicle allowance. The Employment Agreement between the City of Huntington Beach and Michael Vigliotta, Chief Assistant City Attorney, is hereby proposed to be amended to reflect the salary and vehicle allowance. Financial Impact: The enhancement to the Chief Assistant City Attorney's compensation will come from the General Fund. The annualized fiscal impact for the requested compensation and benefit adjustments is estimated to be $22,315.52 for FY 2014/15. Additional budget appropriation is not requested at this time. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-106, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Modifying Non -Associated Salary and Benefits Resolution and Amending the Employment Agreement Between the City of Huntington Beach and the Chief Assistant City Attorney." Alternative Action(s): Do not approve Resolution No. 2014-106 and direct staff to propose an alternate action. Analysis: Based on an initial review and expected expansion of the breadth and scope of work for the duties performed by the Chief Assistant City Attorney, it is recommended that the position's salary range (NA0593) be increased by ten percent (10%). Additional benefit modification includes grouping the position with other similar management positions with regard to a vehicle allowance. The Chief Assistant City Attorney supervises and oversees the operations of the City Attorney's office and manages the day-to-day activities, to include direct supervision of all attorneys and support staff. Examples of essential duties for the Chief Assistant City Attorney include, but are not limited to: ® Assists the City Attorney in administering the city's legal functions; HB -15 7- Item 15. - 1 Dept. ID HR 14-024 Page 2 of 2 Meeting Date: 12/15/2014 • Serves as senior counsel in handling serious, controversial and complex litigations and in providing advice and counsel to and on behalf of the City; • Oversees important litigation matters that encompass a variety of complex legal issues, including monitoring all phases of pretrial, trial and appellate work in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies; • Analyzes and researches legal problems; prepares opinions; confers with and advises City officials, staff, departments, advisory bodies and commissions on legal questions pertaining to their respective powers, duties functions and obligations; • Monitors proposed legislation and court decisions related to municipal law and activities; evaluates the impact to City operations; • Supervises professional and support staff; provides and coordinates staff training; `works with employees to correct deficiencies; implements disciplinary actions and recommends termination procedures; and, • Implements cost control procedures for outside counsel, monitors legal department contracts for compliance. Importantly, this position is the "Chief of Staff' to the City Attorney and in the absence of the City Attorney, performs the duties of the City Attorney. Currently, the salary range for this position is less than one half percent (.5%) above the maximum level for two (2) Assistant City Attorney positions which administratively report to the Chief Assistant City Attorney. Standard practice is that such reporting level difference should be a minimum of ten percent (10%). Accordingly, it is the recommendation of the newly elected City Attorney to increase the position's salary range to provide for an adequate separation of compensation levels and to amend the current incumbent's employment agreement to reflect this compensation modification. The Chief Assistant City Attorney is an at -will position. Environmental Status: N/A Strategic Plan Goal: Develop, retain and attract quality staff Attachment(s): 1.
