end
ABSTRACT
The proposed resolution establishes the City of Murrieta's Comprehensive Pay Schedule for Fiscal Year 2026/27, effective July 1, 2026, in compliance with applicable California Code of Regulations and California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) requirements related to publicly available pay schedules. The updated Pay Schedule incorporates previously approved cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) and compensation changes authorized through negotiated labor agreements with the Murrieta Firefighters Association, Murrieta Fire Management Association, Murrieta General Employees' Association, Murrieta Supervisors' Association, as well as for unrepresented employees, including the City Manager and employees covered by the Management, Professional, and Confidential Employees' Compensation Plan. Adoption of the Pay Schedule reflects compensation ranges for all City classifications, including part-time positions (for which COLAs have not been previously approved). Staff also proposes approving an updated Schedule of Authorized Positions for Fiscal Year 2025/26.
