Yuba City Council approves salary schedule changes to align reserve pay, add cadet and accountant classifications
Summary
Council adopted changes to the salary schedule to align reserve police officer level 1 pay with full‑time officers, rename part‑time police officer trainee to police cadet, create an accountant career ladder and add an administrative assistant confidential classification; staff said there is no net fiscal impact to the city budget.
The Yuba City Council voted to amend salary schedules to help departments recruit and to clarify job series descriptions.
Gina Roland, interim human resources director, presented three recommended changes: align the reserve police officer level 1 salary range with that of full‑time police officers; change the part‑time police officer trainee title to police cadet; and revise the accountant classification series to add an Accountant 1/2 non‑supervisory class and a Senior Accountant supervisory/advanced level, thereby creating a career ladder for accounting staff. Roland also asked that an administrative assistant salary range be added to the confidential bargaining unit to reflect a reallocated position.
Roland told the council the two incumbent Accountant I employees will be reclassified to Accountant II with no change in salary or bargaining unit. She said there is no fiscal impact from the confidential administrative assistant or accountant class changes, and that any additional cost for reserve police officers will be absorbed within the police department's existing extra help budget or offset by salary savings.
A motion to adopt the resolution implementing the recommended salary schedule changes was made and seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. The meeting record does not include a roll‑call tally. Council members asked clarifying questions about budgeting and were told the changes align positions to duties and were budget‑neutral in the current year.
Staff will proceed to update the formal salary schedules and reclassify the two incumbent accountant positions as described, with no immediate change to incumbents' salaries.
