Subject: Garden Grove Public Records Request for 2018 Employee Compensation Report
Date: Thu, 30 May 2019 07:49:30 -0700

May 30th, 2019

I am requesting a copy of Garden Grove's Employee Compensation Report for the 2018 calendar year under the provisions of California Govt. Code §§ 6250 - 6270, the California Public Records Act.

The purpose of this request is to obtain records which provide a complete and comprehensive account of Garden Grove's total costs associated with employee compensation. Specifically, this request seeks an accounting of total gross wages paid to each employee and the total cost incurred by the employer for providing retirement and health benefits.

In an effort to standardize how this information is reported, please include the following categories in your response:

Employee Name
Position/Job Title
Annual Salary Minimum & Maximum
Total Regular Pay
Overtime Pay
Other Pay (any additional forms of pay that are not reported in Regular Pay)
Total Retirement Cost (All forms of employer-paid retirement contributions, deferred compensation and any Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) payments being made allocated to that employee.)
Total Health Cost (All forms of employer-paid health and welfare benefits, such as health, dental and vision insurance benefits.)
In the event Garden Grove is not in possession of a record of this nature, we request copies of any other record or records that contain information, even if only in part, that is responsive to the purpose of this request — employee name in conjunction with their compensation data for the 2018 year.

Please provide the requested materials or, per § 6253(c), a timeline along which they will be made available by, no later than ten days from the date of this request.

Per § 6253.9(a), we ask that you provide the records in an Excel spreadsheet format.

As a reminder, § 6253.1 instructs public agencies to "assist requester in finding records responsive to the purpose of the request."

Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you might have.

Thank you.
