<br />Jj;(?~6,\. <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORA~DUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City A1J:i1~to,..' r <br />June 6, 2005 IJ,/t rI~ <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Consider Pay Plan and Pay Riate Adjustments <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />On January 22, 2002, the City Council approved the pay equity implementation and <br />compliance reports that were due to the state on J ftnuary 31, 2002. At that time the city was <br />in compliance with the state pay equity law. (The qity is scheduled to report again by January <br />31,2007.) <br /> <br />On January 28, 2002, the City Council approved "I... to increase each of the building <br />inspectors wage by $3,000 effective February 1, 2d02..." Ever since the City Council <br />provided this increase there have been pay equity compliance concerns. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />On August 9, 2004, the City Council addressed sotne general competitive pay issues and <br />some specific pay equity concerns. Action by the ~ity Council followed a report and <br />recommendations by the Personnel Committee or). wages and the city pay plan. The City <br />Council approved an across the board pay plan intrease of 2.5% for exempt employees and <br />4% for non-exempt employees. The City Council ~lso approved wage increases consistent <br />with the above figures for everyone except the building inspectors. <br /> <br />After this August 2004 action by the City Council~ the building inspector's wages were still <br />slighrly above their pay grade. Today, due to the mspectors being in both pay grade 13 and <br />14, and due to the cost of living increases being p~ovided in 2003,2004, and 2005, the top <br />pay of the housing/building inspectors (pay grade I 13) is 1.98% above the top of their pay <br />grade and the top pay of the lead and plumbing in~pectors (pay grade 14) is 1.704% above <br />the top of their pay grade. <br /> <br />When the annual cost of living adjustments (COLiA) were discussed by the Council on <br />December 20, 2004, the pay equity or comparablelworth concerns and the building inspector <br />positions were again discussed. At that meeting th~ City Council directed staff to provide <br />options to address the pay equity compliance con4erns before July step increases are given. <br />I <br /> <br />s: \ Council\Pat\200S \Pay Adjust.doc <br />
