Agenda Item 14
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sharon Wood, Assistant City Manager iAJ
SUBJECT: Salary Adjustment for Seasonal Lifeguards
Recommendations
1. Approve a salary adjustment of 3.5% for seasonal lifeguards, effective April 1, 2001.
2. Approve budget amendment transferring $14,000 from unappropriated reserve to
Marine Safety Salaries — Temporary (2360- 7030).
Discussion
The City has been negotiating with the Association of Newport Beach Ocean Lifeguards
( ANBOL) for several months, but we have not reached agreement on a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU). One of the items included in the City's offer is a salary
adjustment of 3.5% on April 1, 2001. After doing salary surveys as part of the
negotiation process, and based on experience in recruiting seasonal lifeguards, staff
believes this increase is important for the success of this year's recruitment process. We
are asking that the City Council approve the salary adjustment at this time, so that we are
able to advertise with the higher salary and attract the number and caliber of candidates
needed for the summer season.
The cost of the increase will be $14,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year, and staff is
requesting a budget amendment to transfer that amount from unappropriated reserve to
the temporary salaries account in the Marine Safety Division. The cost for a full year is
approximately $40,000, which will be reflected in the proposed budget for 2001 -02.
ANBOL representatives are aware that the City is taking this action, and staff does not
believe it will have a negative impact on our continuing negotiations with the
Association.
