r~1 -\) ( ~ . City of ~ Elk Item #4.12. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor & City Council Pat Klaers, City ~ator December 18, 2000 FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Wage Adjustments Human resources in the City of Elk River is an ever-changing situation. Employees come and go, benefits are adjusted based on the market, job responsibilities/duties are changed based on current issues, and other similar types of situations all make municipal human resources an evolving environment. . As the council knows, there is a four member personnel committee established that makes recommendations to the City Council on comp worth, point rankings for positions, and the pay plan for the city. Related to this, I make recommendations to the City Council on actual pay adjustments that are appropriate based on various changes in an employee's responsibilities, internal comparisons, and similar jobs in similar cities. The last major set of changes was in the summer of 1999. Another round of comp worth point ranking evaluations has taken place and it is again time to present to the City Council the personnel committee's recommendations and also my recommendations on some pay adjustments. The personnel committee evaluated three departments plus commented on one administrative position. The three departments were planning, liquor, and building/zoning. I have met and conferred with the personnel committee and my recommendations on wage changes effective January 1, 2001, are as follows: . Building/Zoning - The point rankings for Dennis Anderson and Terry Zajac are changing based on the comp worth evaluations. The point rankings move these employees up one pay grade. It is recommended that they be at the top of the new pay grade as they have both been at the top of their previous pay grade for quite some time. 13065 Orono Parkway. P.O. Box 490.
