President’s Letter
By: Tye Gillespe
The holidays are a great time to remember what is truly important. I hope that you are having a great time celebrating with and appreciating family and friends. May this season be a very special time that prepares you for a great new year.
I want to thank each of you for your service to the city of Carlsbad and your support of the association. I appreciate you making the time to send questions, come to Snack Talks and vote on important issues. There has been a lot of change in the last year; new council members, new city manager, new contract and many new faces around the organization. Your work has helped to ensure that the city keeps functioning amidst all the changes. Keep up the good work.
Thank you to Hallie Thompson, our longest serving board member and current vice president. She has helped in every way from negotiations to member representation. Marie Ashe-Nutter has kept our books straight for the past couple of years and served on our negotiation team as well. Thanks to Tom Vega, Terry Smith, Allison Dietrich and Tammy McMinn for their continued service. Welcome to all the new folks: Tracy Ritzer, Daisy Hernandez, Allen Edwards, and Rosaria Aranda. And welcome back Eric Smith after taking a term off. We have a great team.
Thanks also to those who served our association for years and either ended their term or went onto other adventures: Allyson Goodwin, Nick Marquez, June Acosta, Doug Kappel, Joe Stephenson, Lindsay Leahy, Aeryn Donnelly, and Annie Flager.
Happy Holidays!

Consumer Price Index and Salary Increases
By: Hallie Thompson
According to our MOU, salary ranges will move based on the October to October Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the West Urban Region, calculated from the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. The October 2017 to October 2018 CPI is 3.5%, which means that all salary ranges will move by 3%. Because the ranges will move by 3%, this also means that all CCEA employees will receive a 3% salary increase.
HR makes the official announcement regarding the CPI, and you should have received an email with a link to a video explaining the CPI and CCEA salary ranges.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to your rep or anyone on the CCEA board. We’re here to help.
