<br /> <br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 4.3 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Consent July 6, 2020 Lauren Wipper, Human Resources Representative <br /> <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Compensation for Part Time Cablecaster Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Approve pay increase for part time cablecaster to $19 per hour. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />The cablecaster’s primary responsibility is to prepare for and record city meetings, and shoot scheduled events <br />and production work. It is part-time, 25 hours per week and mostly nights, weekends, and some holidays. <br /> <br />Current starting pay is $14.94 per hour. We went to market for this position and advertised heavily, reached out <br />to schools, and left the vacancy deadline open. We received one application from a candidate who didn’t meet <br />the requirements for the position. <br /> <br />A survey of our peer cities was completed to gauge the current market and is attached for your consideration. <br />Pay ranges vary quite a bit. Staff would recommend setting the rate slightly higher than the rate paid by the <br />cities of Ramsey and Champlin to be able to attract an applicant pool for this tight market. With the <br />multipurpose facility coming online shortly, there could further be a need for this position to assist with video <br />sponsorship promos for the new scoreboard. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Pay for this position is defined each year in the Compensation Plan for Non-Organized Employees rather than <br />our compensation plan for regular positions. This position is PERA eligible but with no other benefits. It is <br />anticipated this rate will increase by the approved Cost of Living Adjustments each year. This pay rate has not <br />been tested in the market for quite some time as the position has been filled. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Pay Comparison Survey with Peer Cities <br /> Position Description <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional service, and <br />community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />
