DATE: September 21, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Approve an Amendment to the Management Salary Schedule to Establish a
New Classification Title and Salary Range for Finance and Accounting
Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an amendment to the management salary schedule (Attachment 1) to establish a new
classification title and salary range for Finance and Accounting Manager.
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Los Gatos Personnel Rules and Regulations (Section 4.4) and the Municipal Code
(Section 2.30.925) require that amendments and revisions to the salary schedule/classification
plan are effective upon approval by Town Council. Changes must be presented to Council for
approval as part of the formal budget adoption, through the labor negotiations process, or as
needed.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is proposing to add the new classification of Finance and Accounting Manager to the
current management salary schedule. The proposed classification will be fiscally aligned with
the existing Finance and Budget Manager salary range of $132,307 to $178,614 annually. The
addition of the new classification of Finance and Accounting Manager, in conjunction with the
current Finance and Budget Manager classification, will provide flexibility in future recruiting
efforts to meet the specialization requirements of the Finance Department.
