Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: Should the resolution that authorizes the salary and benefits for the
City Clerk be modified to be the same as proposed for the Non-Represented Employees?
Funding Source: Funding included in the FY 2002/2003 budget
Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2002-111 — "A Resolution of the City Council
of the City of Huntington Beach Modifying Salary And Benefits for Calendar Year 2003 for
the City Clerk."
Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt the resolution and maintain the current salary and
benefits for the City Clerk.
Analysis: The City Charter requires that the City Clerk's salary be set by resolution of the
City Council. Proposed modified salary and benefit changes which affect the City Clerk are
the same as those proposed for Non-Represented Employees. Proposed modified salary
and benefit changes include a three percent salary increase effective on December 21,
2002. The City Clerk will share in the cost for 2003 medical, dental and vision increases to
offset the cost of 2003 health insurance benefits and there are additional cost containment
measures in the medical plans. Finally, the City is proposing some additional changes
regarding Pre-Retirement Benefits for Survivors again the same as the Non-Represented
Employees.

Note: The above payment amounts may be reduced each month as dependent eligibility ceases due
to death, divorce or loss of dependent child status. However, the amount shall not be reduced
if such reduction would cause insufficient funds needed to pay the full premium for the
employee and the remaining dependents. In the event no reduction occurs and the remaining
benefit premium is not sufficient to pay the premium amount for the employee and the eligible
dependents, said needed excess premium amount shall be paid by the employee.

of the decision and reason(s) for denial. The employee's appeal shall be in

At involuntary termination by reason of disability, or by death, or by
retirement, employees shall be compensated at their then current rate of
pay for seventy-five percent (75%) of all unused sick leave accumulated
as of July 1, 1972, plus fifty percent (50%) of unused sick leave
accumulated subsequent to July 1, 1972, up to a maximum of seven
hundred and twenty hours (720) of unused, accumulated sick leave,
except as provided in paragraph V.C.25.d below.
Upon termination for any other reason, employees shall be compensated
at their then current rate of pay for fifty percent (50%) of all unused
accumulated sick leave, up to a maximum of 720 hours of such
accumulated sick leave.
b. Non-Associated employees hired after, November 20, 1978 shall be
entitled to the following sick leave payoff plan:
Upon termination, all.employees shall be paid, at their then current salary
rate, for twenty-five percent (25%) of unused, earned sick leave to 480
hours accrued, and for thirty-five percent (35%) of all unused, earned sick
leave in excess of 480 hours, but not to exceed 720 hours, except as

sick leave, as defined in Personnel Rule 18-8.
d. Non-Associated employees who had unused, accumulated sick leave in
excess of 720 hours as of July 5, 1980, shall be compensated for such
excess sick leave remaining on termination_ under the formulas described

utilize sick leave accrued after that date in excess of such "cap" on a "last
in, first out" basis. To the extent that any such "capped" amount of excess
sick leave over 720 hours is utilized, the maximum compensabe amount
shall be correspondingly reduced. (Example: Employee had 1,000 hours
accumulated. Six months after July 5, 1980, employee had accumulated
another 48 hours. Employee is then sick for 120 hours. Employee's
maximum sick leave "cap" for compensation at termination is now reduced

BENEFIT PROVISIONS
At involuntary termination by reason of disability, or by death, or by
retirement, employees shall be compensated at their then current rate of
pay for seventy-five percent (75%) of all unused sick leave accumulated
as of July 1, 1972, plus fifty percent (50%) of unused sick leave
accumulated subsequent to July 1, 1972, up to a maximum of seven
hundred and twenty hours (720) of unused, accumulated sick leave,
except as provided in paragraph V.C.25.d below.
Upon termination for any other reason, employees shall be compensated
at their then current rate of pay for fifty percent (50%) of all unused
accumulated sick leave, up to a maximum of 720 hours of such
accumulated sick leave.
b. Non-Associated employees hired after November 20, 1978 shall be
entitled to the following sick leave payoff plan:
Upon termination, all employees shall be paid, at their then current salary
rate, for twenty-five percent (25%) of unused, earned sick leave to 480
hours accrued, and for thirty-five percent (35%) of all unused, earned sick
leave in excess of 480 hours, but not to exceed 720 hours, except as

utilize sick leave accrued after that date in excess of such "cap" on a "last
in, first out" basis. To the extent that any such "capped" amount of excess
sick leave over 720 hours is utilized, the maximum compensable amount
shall be correspondingly reduced. (Example: Employee had 1,000 hours
accumulated. Six months after July 5, 1980, employee had accumulated
another 48 hours. Employee is then sick for 120 hours. Employee's
maximum sick leave "cap" for compensation at termination is now reduced
