TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 06/07/2022 ITEM NO: 22
DATE: June 2, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Approve Cost of Living Increases for Unrepresented Management,
Confidential, and Temporary/Hourly Employees; One-Time Non-PERSable
Bonuses for Confidential and Management; and a 5% Market Adjustment for
Confidential and Temporary/Hourly Employees
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve cost of living increases for unrepresented Management, Confidential, and
Temporary/Hourly Employees; one-time non-PERSsable bonuses for Confidential and
Management; and a 5% market adjustment for Confidential and Temporary/Hourly Employees.
BACKGROUND:
On June 7, 2022, Council will consider labor agreements with the Association of Federal, State,
County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Town Employee’s Association (TEA), and the Police
Officers’ Association (POA).
Unrepresented employees are those that are salaried Management, hourly Confidential, and
Council Appointees’. Temporary/Hourly employees that work fewer than 20 hours per week
are also in the unrepresented group and serve in an unbenefited capacity. All serve as at-will
employees. Compensation and benefit changes for unrepresented employees are approved by
Council and typically align with changes resulting from negotiations of successor agreements
with the Town’s represented bargaining groups to retain general parity with the exception of
the Council Appointee positions of Town Manager and Town Attorney. Council Appointee
compensation and benefit changes are determined directly by Council and are contained in
individual Employment Agreements. Staff is not recommending a salary change for Council
Appointee employees.
PAGE 2 OF 2 SUBJECT: Unrepresented Management, Confidential, and Temporary/Hourly Employees DATE: June 2, 2022
DISCUSSION:
The bargaining units settled with two-year agreements (see separate agenda items for each).
Staff is recommending a 3% cost of living increase for FY 2022/23 and FY 2023/24 for
unrepresented Management and Confidential employees and a one-time, non-PERSable bonus
of $2,500 for unrepresented Management and Confidential employees. In addition,
Confidential employees would also receive a 5% market adjustment. A market adjustment for
Management may be considered at a later date, once potential compaction issues have been
analyzed.
Temporary/Hourly classification rates are generally benchmarked to the full-time counterpart
positions and as such, staff is recommending a 3% cost of living increase for FY 2022/23 and FY
2023/24 and a 5% market adjustment. All parameters are effective with the first full pay period
in July. These recommendations maintain parity with TEA.
CONCLUSION:
The recommendations contained in this report bring the unrepresented groups to general
parity with the represented employees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The anticipated fiscal impact for the 3.0% COLA increases in FY 2022/23 is $65,000 for
Confidential, $216,000 for Management, and $22,000 for Temporary classifications. The
anticipated fiscal impact for FY 2022/23 market adjustments for Confidential is $108,840 and
$37,000 for Temporary classifications. $. In addition, the anticipated fiscal impact of onetime
non-pensionable payments for Management and Confidential is $108,500 for FY 2022/23. The
total cost impact will be absorbed in the Town’s existing operating budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
