The San Ramon City Council is set to consider approving a resolution that authorizes the proposed salary schedule for all of the city’s employees at its Tuesday meeting.
If approved, the proposed salary increases across all of the city’s divisions would go into effect the following day, with those increases already accounted for in the city’s operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year and no additional impact on the city’s finances expected.
The proposed pay raises include a 2.9% raise for workers represented by the Service Employees International Union, which was agreed to in 2022 in a contract that is in effect through next year. Existing agreements for unrepresented miscellaneous and executive employees – excluding the police chief, lieutenant, and police captain – call for salary increases based on changes to the Consumer Price Index from 2024 to 2025, which amounts to a 1.3% increase.
The existing agreements for unrepresented police positions call for specific differentials between the salary ranges for police lieutenants, police captain, and police chief. Under that agreement, the lieutenant salary range’s top step is required to be 5% higher than the maximum pay for police sergeants, with the top range for police captain required to be 7.5% higher than that of police lieutenant, and the top step for the police chief salary required to be 10% higher than that of the police captain’s. As a result, the salary ranges for all of those positions are proposed to be increased by 2%, in alignment with the 2% increase called for in the current agreement with the San Ramon Police Officers Association.
City Manager Steven Spedowfski’s contract also calls for a 5.5% differential between his salary and that of the city’s highest paid department director – in this case, SRPD Chief Denton Carlson – with the proposed resolution raising the city manager’s salary to $337,587 annually to reflect that differential, up from the increase to $330,968 that the council approved in December.
The San Ramon City Council is set to meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday (July 7). The agenda is available here.
