El Segundo council adopts hazard plan, accepts Chevron grant and approves staff pay and benefit changes in unanimous votes

The El Segundo City Council voted unanimously on multiple items at its Sept. 16 meeting, approving a local hazard mitigation plan, accepting a $75,000 economic development grant from Chevron Products Company, adopting six employer contribution resolutions related to CalPERS medical premiums, and adopting revised classification specifications and salary ranges that reclassified four incumbents.

The actions were taken as a package of formal motions and resolutions during the regular session. Council members present were Councilmember Keldorf, Councilmember Giroux, Councilmember Boyles, Mayor Pro Tem Baldino and Mayor Pimentel; each roll call and recorded vote at the dais registered 5–0 on the items listed below.

Why it matters: The votes finalize administrative and budget-related measures that affect city staffing, benefit contribution levels, project readiness and economic-development funding. The CalPERS resolutions set the employer contribution amounts the city will report and implement for bargaining units. The classification changes create a clearer career series for administrative staff and reclassify four incumbents, with a modest fiscal impact the city said can be covered from salary savings.
