EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) Assistant General Manager - Engineering & Operations (AGM - E&O) position was recently vacated as the incumbent accepted a role with a competitor agency. In preparation for recruitment, Human Resources (HR) reviewed the salary for this role along with the Assistant General Manager - Customer & Energy Resources (AGM - C&E) and Assistant General Manager - Administration (AGM - Admin) classifications.
A total compensation survey of comparable cities with electric utilities found all three classifications significantly below the market median. To remain competitive and attract qualified candidates, it is recommended to increase the AGM - E&O salary by approximately 25%, the AGM - C&E salary by approximately 13%, and the AGM - Admin salary by approximately 20%. These adjustments for all three positions result in a total annual increase of $146,000.
