AUTHORIZING A ONE-TIME PERFORMANCE
AND RETENTION INCENTIVE PAYMENT

IN THE EXECUTIVE AND MANAGEMENT GROUPS
IN LIEU OF INCREASES IN BASE SALARY,
AND APPROVING A TRANSFER OF FUNDS

TO FUND SAID PAYMENT
WHEREAS, in recent years, in keeping with the City's goal of fiscal
sustainability, the City Manager has frozen the salaries of the 33 employees categorized as
managers and executives; and
WHEREAS, in lieu of increases to base salary, individuals in these two
categories were granted one-time retention incentive bonuses in calendar years 2006 and
2007. In this way, the City is able to stay competitive with the local employment market, and
thus minimize turn -over, without incurring the long term costs that come with increasing base
salary (e.g., increased pension obligation); and
WHEREAS, last year, managers, as a group, were awarded one-time
performance and retention incentive payments of five percent (5%) of base salary, and
executives, as a group, were awarded six percent (6%). The year, it has been proposed that
both managers and executives receive up to five percent (5%) at the discretion of the City
Manager.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City does hereby authorize a one-time performance and retention incentive payment
of up to five percent (5%) to employees of the Executive and Management Groups in lieu of
increases in base salary, at the discretion of the City Manager.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby authorizes the
following transfer of funds:
FROM: Account No. 001-2501
