What transparency is there related to employee compensation levels?

The City publishes the salary schedules and information on benefits provide to employees on this web page and as part of the annual budget process presents any changes to the salary schedules to the City Council. Annually, the City under new compensation reporting requirements implemented by the California State Controller must submit a report which is then published on the state’s web page.
In addition, recently the Orange County Grand Jury completed a report on the Compensation Study of Orange County Cities and made the following recommendations:
Transparency – City should report their compensation information to the public on the Internet in an easily accessible manner.
Employment Contracts – Each city should reveal any individual employment contract in an easily accessible manner.
The City summarized the compensation for the City Manager and the Department Heads for additional disclosure related to compensation and benefit costs.
