MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 20, 1990 Blesener asked if the salary scale would move upward somewhat each year. The Administrator replied that he did not anticipate it to move for the years 1991 or 1992, but did anticipate adjustments to the salary scales beyond that point. The Building Inspector stated that he felt the scale proposed by the City Administrator was based on a Building Inspector level and should be based on a Building Official level. The Inspector stated that his work goes beyond that of the typical building inspector. The Inspector also noted the revenue that his department generates for the City each year. Fahey noted that there have been previous adjustments to the Building Inspector's salary due to his other duties and compensation for these duties has already been built into the salary. Scalze noted that some departments within the City are revenue-generating, while others are not, and felt that salaries cannot be based on that fact. Collova asked the Building Inspector what his compensation proposal was. The Building Inspector felt that his duties were beyond that of a building inspector, and stated that he felt he should receive a 5% increase for 1991. The next salary proposal reviewed was that of Public Works Superintendent, with the Administrator reviewing his proposal for a 4o increase for 1991. Fahey expressed concern about the salary scales as they are projected out beyond 1991 and did not want to commit to them beyond 1991 in the event that there is a recession or other factors effecting City finances. Scalze suggested that the Council commit to the scales through 1991, and adopt the balance of the salary scales as policy at this point. The Administrator stated that he intended the scales as a guideline for where salaries are going pending any dramatic changes. Page 2
