Council adopts new staff classifications, EV charging reimbursement and MOU update for field supervisor
Summary
Corte Madera council approved new job classifications for public works and planning, a resolution to allow staff reimbursement for electric vehicle charging, and a memorandum of understanding change that provides educational and professional development benefits for a field supervisor position.
Corte Madera, Calif. — The Corte Madera Town Council on June 17 adopted a set of personnel and benefits changes that created two new job classifications, standardized reimbursable expense language for electric‑vehicle (EV) charging, and amended a union memorandum of understanding to extend educational reimbursement and a professional development premium to a field supervisor position.
New classifications and salary schedules
The council approved two resolutions creating a deputy district manager classification in the public works/sanitary district series and a principal planner classification in the community development series, aligning those titles and salary steps with the town’s mid‑management scale. Staff noted minor corrections to salary steps and clarified figures are set in current fiscal year salary tables.
EV charging and department head reimbursement
Two resolutions standardizing reimbursable expenses were adopted to allow town employees to be reimbursed for EV charging costs when using town vehicles or otherwise incurring charging costs associated with town business. Staff said the town will track EV‑charging reimbursements and evaluate use once the changes take effect.
SEIU MOU amendment for field supervisor
The council also approved a negotiated amendment to the memorandum of understanding with SEIU (service employees) to add educational reimbursement and a professional development incentive premium for the field supervisor job classification. Staff said this amendment corrects an earlier oversight when the position was created.
Roll calls and votes
Each of the items was approved by roll call. Council members Andrews, Beckman, Casiza, Vice Mayor Rosa Thomas and Mayor (Revazio/Avasio) voted yes on the job classifications, EV reimbursement and the MOU amendment.
Implementation and follow‑up
- Town staff will implement the salary and classification updates in payroll and HR systems effective with the adopted salary schedules. - The finance director will track EV charging reimbursement amounts and report usage in future fiscal reviews. - Human Resources and the town manager will update personnel manuals and collective bargaining files to reflect the MOU amendment.
Ending: Council members thanked staff for bringing the items back with requested clarifications; there were no public speakers on these items.
