<br /> <br />However, in the table above, you can see that similar points have vastly different monthly salaries. <br />This is an example of where pay equity challenges could arise. <br /> <br />Currently, the city uses the state job match evaluation system to assign points to each position. <br />Given our city's size and the nature of our “blended” positions, it is often difficult to identify <br />matches in this system, which is why the city's proposed request for proposal also requests <br />information on the job evaluation tool used by each consultant, as a more robust system would be <br />beneficial for our organization. <br /> <br />Request for Proposal – Classification and Compensation System: <br />As part of the 2026 budgeting process, staff requested a one-time use of fund balance for a proposed <br />classification and compensation study. City Council approved this use of funds as part of the <br />budgeting process. <br /> <br />The goals for this classification and compensation study include: <br />• Employee participation through a job analysis process that allows staff to provide insight <br />into their day-to-day jobs <br />• Market analysis that is inclusive of public sector peer communities as well as private sector <br />data, if possible <br />o Selection of peer communities is a strategic action item <br />• Development of a new compensation structure that removes current compression challenges <br />and is built for possible future growth <br />• Use of a job evaluation tool that is compliant with state and federal laws that allow for <br />equitable and less cumbersome job evaluation through multi-factor analysis <br />• Ability to score future positions in a less cumbersome method <br />• A structure compliant with pay-equity <br />• Additional Optional Services: benefits analysis and re-writing of job descriptions <br /> <br />As outlined in the draft request for proposal, staff require submissions that include a scope of <br />services and proposal responses to help accomplish the study's goals. Staff have provided the city’s <br />current position titles and potential additional titles to understand the market and ensure the new <br />structure can accommodate growth. <br /> <br /> <br />Strategic Priority: <br />N/A <br /> <br />Source Of Funds: <br />• Approved in the 2026 Budget as a one-time use of fund reserves <br /> <br />Staff Recommendations: <br />• Authorizing staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Classification and Compensation <br />Study Services <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />• Attachment A: DRAFT Classification and Compensation Study Request for Proposals <br />(RFP)
