CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 12/1/2014
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. 2014-94, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach Modifying Salary and Benefits for the Elected City Attorney
Statement of Issue:
The Non-Associated (NA) Resolution sets the compensation and benefits for non-associated
employees, including the elected City Attorney, City Clerk, and City Treasurer. With the election of
a new City Attorney, a compensation level needs to be established for this position. Benefits are
the same as set forth within the NA Resolution No. 2014-32, including employee-paid contributions
to CalPERS.
Financial Impact:
The establishment of the City Attorney's compensation will come from the General Fund. The
ongoing annualized fiscal impact for the requested compensation (not including benefits) is
estimated to be $215,841. Total compensation, which includes salary, medical, pension and other
benefits, is estimated to be less than $260,000 on an annualized basis. Accordingly, additional
budget appropriation is not required as the total compensation for the new City Attorney is less than
the budgeted amount within Fiscal Year 2014-15 due to the lower starting salary and classification
as a "new employee" in CalPERS, which significantly lowers the long-term pension costs.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2014-94, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Modifying Salary and Benefits for the Elected City Attorney."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve Resolution No. 2014-94 and direct staff to propose an alternate action.
Analysis:
The compensation of the City Attorney can only be established or modified by an action of the City
Council.
It is recommended that the compensation of the newly elected City Attorney be established at
$103.77 per hour, which is the mid-point between the Start and Control point of the salary range
NA0016. Per NA Resolution 2014-32, the starting point for the City Attorney is $98.22 an hour with
a maximum of$121.67 an hour. The control point is $109.32 an hour. While not set by resolution,
the newly elected City Attorney will be subject to a retirement formula set by the Public Employee's
Pension Reform Act of 2013. Those benefits include: Miscellaneous 2% at 62 formula; 50% of
normal cost employee contribution; highest 36 months average compensation; and, the position is
not eligible for a Retiree Medical Subsidy Benefit.
HB -2 i- Item 2. - I
Dept.ID HR 14-019 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date:12/1/2014
Action on this item is required at this time due to the election of a new City Attorney and the need to
set the annual salary prior to his assuming office. The effective date will be December 2, 2014,
representing the City Attorney's first full day in office. Future increases in the City Attorney's
compensation will need to be through a separate, future action by the City Council, which is similar
to actions required for the City Clerk and City Treasurer's compensation.

4. Section 125 Plan
Employees shall be eligible to participate in a City-approved Section 125 Flexible

Each Non-Associated employee shall be provided with $50,000 life insurance and $50,000
accidental death and dismemberment insurance paid for by the City. Each employee shall

months.
F. Retiree Medical Coverage for Retirees Not Eligible for the City Medical Retiree Subsidy Plan
Employees who retire from the City after January 1, 2004, and are granted a retirement
allowance by the California Public Employees' Retirement System and are not eligible for the
City's Retiree Subsidy Medical Plan may choose to participate in City-sponsored medical
insurance plans until the first of the month in which they turn age sixty-five (65).
The retiree shall pay the full premium for City-sponsored medical insurance for themselves
and/or qualified dependents without any City subsidy.
Employees who retire from the City and receive a retirement allowance from the California
Public Employees' Retirement System and are not eligible for the City's Retiree Subsidy
Medical Plan and choose not to participate in City-sponsored medical insurance upon
retirement permanently lose eligibility for this insurance.
However, if a retiree who is not eligible for the City's Retiree Subsidy Medical Plan chooses not
to participate in City-sponsored medical insurance plans because the retiree has access to
other group medical insurance, and subsequently loses eligibility for that group medical
insurance, the retiree and their qualified dependents will have access to City-sponsored
medical insurance plans reinstated.
Eligibility for Retiree Medical Coverage terminates the first of the month in which the retiree or
qualified dependent turns age sixty-five (65).
G. Post-65 Supplemental Medicare Coverage
Retirees who are participating in the Retiree Subsidy Medical Plan as of January 1, 2004 and
all future retirees who meet the criteria to participate in City-sponsored medical insurance, with
or without the Retiree Medical Subsidy Plan, may participate in City-sponsored medical
insurance plans that are supplemental to Medicare, after a contract is in place between the City
and a health insurance provider.
A retiree or qualified dependent must choose to participate in City-sponsored medical insurance
plans that are supplemental to Medicare beginning the first of the month in which the retiree or
qualified dependent turns age sixty-five (65).
The retiree shall pay the full premium to participate in City-sponsored medical insurance plans
that are supplemental to Medicare for themselves or qualified dependents without any City
subsidy.
n N/A Resolution HB -33- Item 2. - 13
NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION
Retirees or qualified dependents, upon turning age 65, who choose not to participate in City-

A. Benefits
1. Self-Funded Supplemental Retirement Benefit
In the event a Non-Associated employee member elects Option #1, #2, #2W, #3, #3W or

(9) hour work days (thirty-six (36) hours) and one (1) four (4) hour Friday and those hours
equal forty (40) work hours in each work week (e.g. the Friday is split into four (4) hours for

EXHIBIT 4 -VOLUNTARY CATASTROPHIC LEAVE DONATION
Guidelines
1. Purpose
The purpose of the voluntary catastrophic leave donation program is to bridge employees
who have been approved leave time to either; return to work, long-term disability, or medical
retirement. Permanent employees who accrue vacation, general leave or compensatory
time may donate such leave to another permanent employee when a catastrophic illness or
injury befalls that employee or because the employee is needed to care for a seriously ill
family member. The leave-sharing Leave Donation Program is Citywide across all
departments and is intended to provide an additional benefit. Nothing in this program is
intended to change current policy and practice for use and/or accrual of vacation, general,
or sick leave.
2. Definitions
Catastrophic Illness or Injury A serious debilitating illness or injury, which incapacitates the
employee or an employee's family member.
Family Member - For the purposes of this policy, the definition of family member is that
defined in the Family Medical Leave Act(child, parent, spouse or domestic partner).
3. Eligible Leave
Accrued compensatory, vacation or general leave hours may be donated. The minimum
donation an employee may make is two (2) hours and the maximum is forty(40) hours.
4. Eligibility
Permanent employees who accrue vacation or general leave may donate such hours to
eligible recipients. Compensatory time accrued may also be donated. An eligible recipient
is an employee who:
• Accrues vacation or general leave;
Is not receiving disability benefits or Workers' Compensation payments; and
• Requests donated leave.
5. Transfer of Leave
The maximum donation credited to a recipient's leave account shall be the amount
necessary to ensure continuation of the employee's regular salary during the employee's
period of approved catastrophic leave. Donations will be voluntary, confidential and
irrevocable. Hours donated will be converted into a dollar amount based on the hourly
wage of the donor. The dollar amount will then be converted into accrued hours based on
the recipient's hourly wage.
An employee needing leave will complete a Leave Donation Request Form and submit it to
the Department Director for approval. The Department Director will forward the form to
Human Resources for processing. Human Resources, working with the department, will
send out the request for leave donations.
NSA Resolution HB -51- Item 2. - 31
NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION
Employees wanting to make donations will submit an Authorization for Donation to the
Human Resources Division (payroll).
All donation forms submitted to payroll will be date stamped and used in order received for
each bi-weekly pay period. Multiple donations will be rotated in order to insure even use of
time from donors. Any donation form submitted that is not needed will be returned to the
donor.

participation in this program.
