SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 2, 1989 <br />Mr. Schumacher used the overhead projector and showed what it <br />would take to bring all non -union employees into position. <br />He indicated that for the Police Records Clerk position, to <br />put her at the beginning of the box would not be fair. Mr. <br />Bisel said that his concern that was that some positions were <br />outside of the box for a long time and his goal was to get <br />them to the base level now. Mayor Benson told Mr. Schumacher <br />that the Council was agreeing with him, this position could <br />be given additional attention. Mr. Reinert said he felt Mr. <br />Bisel was right and added that maybe the Council has allowed <br />too much movement within the boxes for some people in the <br />past. Mr. Bisel said he felt that all persons within the box <br />should have a 5% increase, however those who have not "hit" <br />the box are his biggest concern. Mr. Schumacher said he <br />still saw a potential problem for those persons who already <br />are starting in the range with a number of years on the job. <br />Mr. Bisel said Mr. Schumacher should remember where this <br />started from and what the Council is trying to accomplish. <br />Mr. Schumacher asked if 1% a year is enough of an increase <br />for those positions with tenure. Mayor Benson said that Mr. <br />Schumacher could position them within the box. Mr. Bisel <br />noted that the employees will have to realize that this is <br />only the beginning and after this is in place, the <br />Administrator and Council will have more flexibility with <br />salary positioning. Mr. Reinert said that there will always <br />be emotions involved with salary concerns. <br />Mayor Benson explained that he has had the opportunity to <br />look at the state salary program. He explained how the <br />program worked and noted that some employees may not be happy <br />with the outcome. <br />Mr. Reinert told Mr. Schumacher that he did see a good <br />attempt to bring the salaries in line but then he felt Mr. <br />Schumacher started to "monkey" around with some of the <br />salaries in the higher ranges. He felt that this should come <br />later. <br />Mr. Bisel asked that Mr. Schumacher bring all employees to <br />the box. Secondly, he asked that the employee be looked at <br />and given a 1% increase for each year on the job with a top <br />of 10 years. The third step would be that any position <br />within range be given a flat percent (5 %) increase. He felt <br />this would be a way to get started. Next year each employee <br />will be evaluated based upon experience and performance. <br />Mr. Schumacher said he would review each position and <br />determine the effect on them. He expressed concern that <br />there may be repercussions on some individuals. Mr. Reinert <br />said that if the Council did not want equity for all <br />employees, they would not have put this Pay Plan into place. <br />Mr. Bisel told of the inequity in the school district pay <br />plan and noted that this is just the beginning of this <br />
