Pahey COUNCIL L Jim LaValle Matt Anderson Rick Montour Bill Blesener A DAL I ISIRATOR Joel R. Hanson I have discovered two errors in the 2003 Salary Scales I presented for your approval in December. Both involve previous commitments I made to the employee relative to a new position. In both cases, I am not proposing any changes to the scales, but I am recommending we revise the employee's placement within the scale. The situations are as follows: Dotty Norgard, Administrative /Accounting Technician We hired Dotty on April 9, 2002. At that time, we committed to moving her to Step 3 of the salary scale on 1/1/2003. (This was documented in writing at the time of hire.) In the materials I presented to you, we indicated she would move to that step on her anniversary date. She would have made $15.49 per hour until that date. Therefore, I am recommending we revise her hourly rate to $16.00 effective 1/1/03. Jessica Jagoe, Code Enforcement Officer /Customer Service Specialist In Jessica's case, we changed her position Last fall adding the duties of Code Enforcement Officer in an attempt to stabilize this position. In doing so, I verbally indicated to her that, subject to satisfactory performance, her pay rate would be adjusted to $17.66 on 1/1/03. This represents a mid -step adjustment between years 3 & 4 on the proposed scale. (We had already reviewed the Stanton Report and knew that the Code Enforcement would justify this amount. The Utility Billing portion of her job also warrants this wage.) However, I neglected to indicate that on the proposed salary scale. Instead, I indicated a mid -step adjustment between years 2 & 3. Given the demands on this position and her performance to date, I would recommend we adjust her salary from $16.95 to $17.66 effective 1/1/03. It should also be understood that no commitments have been made from this date forward.
