The Administrative Assistant position for the fire department is in <br />a pay grade in the new plan that has a top pay that is slightly lower than the previous pay plans top pay. <br />This was not recognized earlier because the employee is not yet at the top pay step. For the current <br />employee staff proposes to maintain the top pay of the previous pay plan, increased by any annual <br />adjustment given to all positions in the pay plan. The employee is eligible for the adjusted top pay with <br />2019 step increases. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />There would be a slight budget impact in 2019 that would be reflected in the 2019 budget. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Updated Positions and Pay Grades <br /> <br />
