Norco council updates part-time salary schedule after state minimum-wage increase
Summary
City staff told the council that California's minimum wage rose to $16.90 and about 49 part-time city employees would be affected; the council unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-01 updating the part-time salary schedule and estimated about $16,000 in added wages for the fiscal year remainder.
City staff told the Norco City Council that California's minimum wage increased from $16.50 to $16.90 per hour and recommended the council update its part-time salary schedule to match the new state requirement.
"Minimum wage has increased from $16.50 to $16.90 an hour," the staff presenter said, adding that an analysis found "roughly 49 part time employees that will be affected by this." Staff estimated the change would cost the city about $16,000 for the remainder of the current fiscal year. The presenter recommended the council adopt Resolution 2026-01 to update the part-time wage schedule.
Councilmembers asked no substantive questions and there was no public comment on the item. A motion to adopt Resolution 2026-01 carried unanimously. The action revises the part-time pay scale to align with state law; staff said they will implement the change and absorb the estimated FY impact in the current-year personnel budget.
The discussion distinguished this operational correction from any broader compensation study; no additional pay-scale changes for full-time or exempt employees were approved at this meeting.
