REQUEST FOR ACTION To Item Number Ci Council 3.7.* Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Consent December 10, 2007 Lauren Wipper, Human Resource Re resentative Item Description Reviewed by Resolution Adopting 2008 Compensation Plan for Non- Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator Organized Employees Reviewed by Action Requested Approve the attached resolution adopting the 2008 Compensation Plan for Non-Organized Employees. Background/Discussion The majority of the Compensation Plan is unchanged for 2008. The City Council previously acted on the 2008 Flexible Benefits Plan Contribution and Health Savings Account match, which is included in the Insurance Benefits section of the Plan, and the proposed budget includes the three percent cost of living adjustment. Because of this, the Compensation Plan has been put on the consent agenda; however, if you would like to discuss it or would like a presentation on this plan, please pull it off the consent agenda. Pay and pay progression for Ice Arena Concessions, Hockey and Skating Academy positions is being added to the Compensation Plan to formalize past practice. As with other seasonal, temporary, and most part-time positions, these positions do not fall within the city's pay plan. The pay rates and progression recommendations are consistent with similar positions of the city and have been reviewed by Arena Manager Rich Czech and Parks and Recreation Director Bill Maertz. Due to recent organizational changes in the Public Works Department, Public Works Director Terry Maurer requested the ability to have employees in Laborer positions assist with snow plowing. To accommodate this we have added an Out of Class Pay provision for employees assigned to snow plowing who do not perform snow plowing as part of their regular job with the City. Although the 2008 Compensation Plan is effective January 1, 2008, we are recommending this provision provide Out of Class Pay starting at the beginning of this snow plow season. The snow plowing duties that would be performed are consistent with those of the Street Maintenance I position. Employees who fall under this provision will be paid at pay grade 5 for the hours they perform snow plowing which is the pay grade for the Street Maintenance I position. This provision is written so that it will accommodate any employee assigned to this special duty. Financial Impact Costs associated with the Compensation Plan are included in the proposed 2008 budget. Attachments ^ Resolution ^ Proposed 2008 Compensation Plan fox Non-Union Employees
