As the city is a service organization, personnel services is the single largest expenditure category for the
General Fund and includes the costs related to salaries, insurance and retirement. Year-end projections
reflect cost savings due to retirements, vacancies, and re-organizations within the city during FY 2017-
18. There is a proposal for 4% market adjustment for certain Public Safety employees as the market
dictated and that were not at the top of the pay range and the city will implement a step plan for sworn
and certified employees which includes 2% annual steps. The city believes this is a sustainable plan and
can be maintained over time. Civilian staff compensation is a potential total of 3.5% compensation
increase with 1.5% being related to a market adjustment for all employees and another 2% merit increase
based upon performance. Due to diligent work by the Human Resources department, there was no
change to health insurance cost for FY 2018-19.

As part of the conservative approach to budgeting, the city does not budget for vacancy savings. At the
end of FY 2017-18, the City Council approved a budget amendment to transfer $1,200,000 in vacancy
savings to a self-insurance fund as part of a long-term goal to be self-insured. Prior to the amendment,
the FY 2018-19 personnel budget increased by 0.9% from the FY 2017-18 budget which is significantly
below the 4% maximum increase allowance.
