Compass Strategic Goals:
This agenda item supports the following Strategic Goal(s).
• A Port that the public understands and trusts.
• A Port with an innovative and motivated workforce.
• A financially sustainable Port that drives job creation and regional economic vitality.
DISCUSSION:
Salary Ordinance:
The San Diego Unified Port District Act (codified as Harbors & Navigation Code, App. I) requires that the salaries and wages of officers and employees of the District be set by the Board by ordinance (Section 73) and that the payment of salaries and wages be made at regular periods as set by the Board by ordinance (Section 77). These requirements are addressed via the Salary Ordinance, which establishes salary and benefits for employees each salary year. The salary year runs from October 1 through September 30 of each year.
Staff has incorporated changes into the new Salary Ordinance to reflect the following:
• Provisions negotiated in the Side Letter Agreements with both Teamsters Local 911 and the San Diego Harbor Police Officers’ Association (SDHPOA);
• Provisions negotiated in the existing Memorandum of Understanding with the SDHPOA;
• Certain paragraphs and language have been identified as not required or unnecessary and are removed from the Salary Ordinance. Some of this language is recorded elsewhere, such as in Memorandums of Understanding, or other policies and procedures; and
• Minor administrative changes.
Directory of Classification Specifications:
The Directory of Classification Specifications (Directory) contains a list of all the job descriptions in the District. The Directory for FY 2021/2022 was adopted by the Board at its June 15, 2021, meeting. Subsequently, other updates have been identified or planned by staff and are submitted for the Board’s consideration and approval. Please note that new and updated classification specifications only revise the District’s job descriptions, they do not create new budgeted positions and do not necessarily change any individual employee’s salary.
The following new classifications are added to the directory:

General Counsel’s Comments:
The Office of the General Counsel has reviewed this agenda sheet and attachments to it, as presented to it, and approves the same as to form and legality.
Environmental Review:
The proposed Board action, including without limitation, an ordinance establishing a schedule of compensation and a resolution amending the directory of classification specifications, does not constitute a “project” under the definition set forth in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 because it will not have a potential to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and is, therefore, not subject to CEQA. No further action under CEQA is required.
The proposed Board action complies with Section 35 of the Port Act, which allows the Board to do all acts necessary and convenient for the exercise of its powers. The Port Act was enacted by the California Legislature and is consistent with the Public Trust Doctrine. Consequently, the proposed Board action is consistent with the Public Trust Doctrine.
The proposed Board action does not allow for “development,” as defined in Section 30106 of the California Coastal Act, or “new development,” pursuant to Section 1.a. of the District’s Coastal Development Permit Regulations. Therefore, issuance of a Coastal Development Permit or exclusion is not required.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Program:
No direct DEI impact.
