DISCUSSION
To maintain parity within job families of City employees, the City has historically extended the wage and benefit provisions afforded to the Orange County Employee’s Association (OCEA) and the OCEA Employee’s League (League) to the Middle Management group.
The recently approved OCEA and League MOU’s have adjusted wages and benefit provisions that go into effect July 1, 2019. Therefore, the Resolution applicable to Middle Management employees has been prepared to be consistent with the 2019-2022 provisions of the OCEA and League.
The new Resolution provides the following in the FY 19/20: 2.5% base salary increase and 1% salary increase to Step H of the salary range. In FY 20/21: 2.5% base salary increase, and a $150 increase to the City’s cafeteria benefits. In FY 21/22: A new 5% Step I at the top of the salary range, and a $100 increase to the City’s cafeteria benefits for employees identified in the Middle Management resolution. The increase of benefits is the same as the increases of OCEA and League MOU provisions.
