CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 3B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson MEETING DATE: April 13, 2014 TOPIC: Non -Union Compensation VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION The City Council is being asked to consider a resolution establishing the 2015 compensation plan for non-union employees. BACKGROUND Non-union personnel include the city administrator, department directors, deputy public safety directors, public safety captain, and city clerk. The plan includes a two percent salary adjustment, which would be retroactive to January 1, 2015. The Council considered the compensation plan on February 9, which proposed an additional two percent salary increase on the maximum range for the Public Safety Director and a six percent adjustment for the Community Development Director over a two-year period. The recommendation for Director Swenson's salary increase was based on additional responsibilities he has taken on with the integration of fire services in the Public Safety Department. Director Grochala's salary is well below where it should be based on his job points. The Council directed me to invite Springsted's HR consultant, Ann Antonsen, to a work session to explain methodology used in the Hay System Model to award job points for each wage classification. Ms. Antonsen was not available for the March and April work sessions, so to avoid further delays I'm recommended that the 2015 compensation plan be approved with an across-the-board two percent salary adjustment for the non-union employees. The proposed step adjustments for the Public Safety Director and Community Development Director will require separate action if the Council approves the increases. RECOMMENDATION Approve Resolution No. 15-07, establishing the 2015 compensation plan for non-union employees, effective January 1, 2015. ATTACHMENTS Resolution No. 15-07
