FROM: Gina Russo, Human Resources Analyst

SUBJECT: Amend Resolution 08-119 by Adding a Water Authority Director Position and
Hourly Wage to the City of Montereys Part-Time Salary Schedule

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt a new resolution that amends resolution 08-119 by adding one
Water Authority Director position and hourly wage to the City of Montereys Part-time Salary
Schedule.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

It is within Council policy and practice to update its position control list to best serve the City.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The hourly salary for this new position will be $100 an hour; however the funding will be
reimbursed by the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority at a rate of $105.20 per hour,
to include benefits.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines),
Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general
rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect
on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to
CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on
the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not
cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment,
this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will
be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Council could elect not to authorize the position. However, this position is requested to serve as
Chief Administrator Officer for the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority (MPRWA) Joint
Powers Authority.
