Staff further requests <br />approval of appropriation of funds from the Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) Fund <br />Balance to WPCP salaries and benefits for fiscal year 2015-16. <br />BACKGROUND <br />During recent labor negotiations with the San Leandro Management Organization (SLMO), the <br />City agreed to conduct a compensation study of the Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) <br />Manager classification. <br />The City conducted the compensation study and compared the WPCP Manager classification <br />to similar classifications within neighboring agencies and special districts in the comparable <br />labor market. The results of the compensation study indicate that the classification is below <br />the median salary. <br />Based on the compensation study’s results, the City met and conferred with SLMO to provide <br />a 5% salary increase for the WPCP Manager classification. The salary increase would be <br />retroactive to January 1, 2016, which is the same date SLMO’s negotiated salary increase <br />went into effect. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 3/1/2016
