OUTLINE OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT,
FRINGE BENEFITS, AND SALARY FOR THE
CONFIDENTIAL UNIT
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park approved and adopted an
outline of certain conditions of employment, fringe benefits, and salary for the Confidential
Unit for the period of June 8, 2021 through June 30, 2025.
The City’s financial outlook forecasts expenditures to continue to outpace revenues in fiscal year
2025-26 through fiscal year 2027-28. Given the substantial structural deficit, the City is unable to
provide general wage increases during the 2025/26 Fiscal Year. To assist in the ongoing rising
health care costs, City Council authorized one-time monies in the form of Off Salary Schedule
Pay.
To that end, the Parties agree to the following amendment to the Outline. The specific
provisions contained in this Side Letter are intended to supersede any previous agreements,
whether oral or written, regarding the specific provisions contained herein. Further, except as
provided herein, all wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment presently
enjoyed by the Confidential Unit in the Outline shall remain in full force and effect.
Whereas:
I. TERM
The Outline of certain conditions of employment, fringe benefits, and salary for the
Confidential Unit shall be in effect from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
II. OFF SALARY SCHEDULE PAYMENT
As of June 30, 2025, all actively employed Confidential Unit employees shall be entitled
to an Off Salary Schedule Payment in the amount of one-hundred seventy-eight dollars and
eighty-three cents ($178.83) per pay period, not to exceed twenty-four (24) pay periods in
fiscal year 2025-26.
The first Off Salary Schedule Payment will be payable July 25, 2025, followed by twenty-
three (23) additional payments during fiscal year 2025-26.
The Off Salary Schedule Payment is made available to all employees within the
Confidential Unit, without exclusions based on non-compliant criteria (e.g.: part-time or
temporary status).
For Classic CalPERS members, the payment shall be reported to CalPERS as it is earned
across the applicable pay periods in fiscal year 2025-26. Such reporting shall not exceed
six percent (6%) of scheduled salary per fiscal year 2025-26.
