| EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION |
Welcome to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ page regarding
Employee Compensation!
The City Council and staff firmly believe that our citizens have a right to full transparency with respect to public information, including the wages and benefits received by City employees and elected officials. To that end, salary range and benefit information has been available on the City’s website for a number of years. In late 2010, the City added a section conveniently located on the home page of our website, which provides links to these documents from a single location, as well as to the California State Controller’s Office website, which displays compensation information for all cities and agencies in the state, including Rancho Palos Verdes. Most recently, the City has taken the initiative to update the information available to include compensation information for 2011, which has not yet been requested by the State Controller, as well as other documents that may be of interest to the public, such as recent full-time employee salary rates. In the interest of full transparency, we hope that these changes have made it easier to find information on City employee compensation. As always, please let us know if you have suggestions for improvement. Staff can be reached at (310) 544-5207 or citymanager@rpv.com.
