EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In April 2016, California Senate Bill (SB) 3 was adopted to increase California's minimum wage incrementally each year, beginning in January 2017. Increases to the minimum wage have continued annually due to this legislation, as SB 3 tied the State minimum wage to increases in the Consumer Price Index. Specifically, the State of California Department of Industrial Relations has certified that, based on the annual inflation rate in 2025 of 2.4%, the State's hourly minimum wage must be increased from $16.50 to $16.90 per hour. This increase will take effect on January 1, 2026. This change impacts six of the City's part-time job classifications.
BACKGROUND
In 2025, the State of California Department of Industrial Relations certified that, based on the annual inflation rate in 2025, the State's hourly minimum wage must be increased to $16.90 per hour.

Class Title
Range
Administrative Intern
16.90
Aide
16.90
Assistant Recreation Coordinator
17.00
Maintenance Trainee
16.90
Recycle Ranger
16.90
Theater Technician
16.90 - 50.00

For the position of Assistant Recreation Coordinator, the new range was eliminated to create a flat rate, as the position's top salary was $17 per hour.
Staff recommends Council approve the updated Part-Time Employment Policy and Pay Plan to reflect the new mandated pay rates.
