Votes at a glance: RTIP amendment, AB 2561 report, classification schedule and routine items
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the council approved a regional transportation amendment, received a state‑mandated vacancy report, approved an updated classification and compensation schedule, and cleared consent calendar items; all recorded motions passed unanimously.
Several distinct formal actions and votes recorded at the June 10 San Marcos City Council meeting were brief and passed unanimously. The council handled a mix of public hearings, required reports and routine approvals.
Resolution amending 2025 Regional Transportation Improvement Program
Staff presented a brief amendment to the city’s 2025 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) to align the RTIP with the city’s capital improvement program and TransNet funding. Staff described the bike‑lane elements as Class 2 buffered bike lanes and said TransNet funds account for roughly $2,200,000 annually toward key street projects. After closing the public hearing the council voted to adopt the RTIP amendment; the motion passed unanimously.
AB 2561: annual vacancy, recruitment and retention report (public hearing — informational)
Human Resources presented the informational report required by Assembly Bill 2561, which took effect Jan. 1, 2025 and requires annual reporting on vacancy rates and recruitment/retention efforts. Stacy Armacost, HR risk manager, reported the citywide full‑time vacancy rate at 6.32% (below the 20% threshold that triggers additional requirements) and described recruitment actions including compensation studies, outreach on job boards, professional development and employee referral incentives. Jacob Lisaraga (Human Resources Senior Management Analyst) presented initiatives to promote internal promotions and professional development. Council moved to receive the report as required by AB 2561; the motion to receive was approved unanimously.
Updated full‑time classification and compensation schedule
Administrative Services Director Janelle Laughlin presented a revised, searchable schedule with title updates and the annual salary ranges for executive classifications. The update introduced a new special projects engineer classification and clarified titles (for example, IT analyst to DevOps engineer). The council moved to adopt the updated schedule and approved it unanimously.
Other routine votes
The council approved the consent calendar without items pulled and accepted presentations and certificates (for Nob Hill students and San Marcos High School swimming team). The Budget Review Committee publicly presented its recommendation and the council acknowledged the committee’s unanimous endorsement of the FY25‑26 budget.
