DISCUSSION:
In an effort to continually provide living wages to all workers, the California Legislature has enacted a state mandate raising minimum wage from its current level of $16.50 per hour to $16.90 per hour, effective January 1, 2026.
In order to adhere to the state mandate, the City of Fontana has reassessed current part-time salaries to remain competitive in the marketplace while consistently attracting quality candidates. The City of Fontana also reviewed other salary tables for other classifications that are below $16.50 per hour. There are no other classifications impacted by this increase.
Staff is recommending the formal adoption by City Council of the attached Salary Table. Formal adoption of this salary table is in accordance with the guidelines provided by the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Annual fiscal impact related to the 2026 Minimum Wage increase is estimated at $103,470 citywide. Total for Community Services Department is estimated at $95,865 annually, $85,130 in the General Fund and the difference of $10,735 in the After School program. No additional funding is needed as the current part-time budget in Community Services is able to absorb costs associated with the minimum wage increase.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.
