The Report provided in part “[c]onsistent with pre-existing City Council policy…salary adjustments approved for employees represented by the Engineers and Architects Association (EAA) shall be applied to non-represented employees in commensurate classes.

In addition, on January 8, 2021, the Executive Employee Relations Committee (EERC) directed that the same postponed salary adjustment schedule apply to the City’s non-represented general managers.”

That the City Council authorize the Controller and the City Administrative Officer to correct any clerical errors, or, if approved by the City Attorney, any technical errors in the above ordinances.”

On February 1, 2021, the Los Angeles City Attorney sent a Letter to the City Council. The Letter provided in part, “[t]his Office has prepared…[a] draft ordinance [that] would amend…the Los Angeles Administrative Code, to postpone salary increases of non-represented classifications scheduled for January 31, 2021, January 30, 2022, and June 19, 2022, to the dates of June 19, 2022, January 29, 2023, and June 18, 2023, respectively….the draft ordinance was sent…to the City Administrative Officer (CAO). The CAO recommends adoption of the draft ordinance.”
