John Keis COUNCIL Rick Montour Michael McGraw Tom Fischer Christian Torkelson ADMI.NISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson 1 am pleased to announce the hiring of Heidi Heller as our new City Clerk. Heidi was our top choice from an excellent pool of candidates. We are very excited to have her join our team. Attached is the employment agreement I am proposing in association with making this an "exempt" position pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act. It contains our standard language used in other employment agreements with the following highlights: • Ms. Heller's start date will be Monday, Noverriber 2nd • Her starting wage will be $66,560 per year. After six months and subject to satisfactory performance, it will increase to $67,600 for the balance of 2016. On January 1, 2017, her wage will increase to Step 2 of the City Clerk Wage Scale plus any cost of living adjustments. The 2016 Wage Scale for that position has been converted from an hourly listing to an annual salary amount due to exempt status. Now other changes were made to the scale. It is now as follows: City Clerk 2016 Salary: $66,560 ($67,600 at 5/2/2016) 2016 Salary Scale: Start 6 Mo. 1 2 3 4 5 63,606 65,478 66,560 68,869 71,115 73,424 75,733 • She is being granted six days of PTO at the onset of her employment. She will accrue additional days based upon the standard PTO schedule. Furthermore, as an exempt employee, she will be eligible for an additional 40 hours of PTO accrual on 1/1/17, subject to satisfactory performance.
