ABSTRACT
Staff is proposing updates to the adopted Comprehensive Pay Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025/26. The updates include salary adjustments for several Engineering Department classifications to improve recruitment and retention, as well as a title change from Civil Engineering Assistant to Assistant Engineer. The proposed updates also add the Development Review Coordinator classification, which, along with an Administrative Assistant, will be funded through an expedited service fee designed to achieve full cost recovery. The Associate Engineer classification is also being established, but it is not currently funded or authorized to be filled and will be considered in a future budget. If approved, the updates will take effect on April 21, 2026, and increase the City's authorized staffing by five (5) full-time positions.
