• 1 1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 3B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson MEETING DATE: June 8, 2015 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 had previously considered a proposal for salary adjustments at the February 9th and April 13th meetings, but postponed any action until the Hay Job Evaluation System used by the City could be reviewed by Springsted's HR consultant, Ann Antonsen. Ms. Antonsen attended the May 4th work session and explained how both internal and external (market) factors are used to establish salary ranges. 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 below the market average. I checked the salary ranges posted on the LMC Salary & Benefits Survey for the Community Development Director, Public Safety Director, and Finance Director. Below are the comparisons for populations between $15,000 and $30,000. 2014 2014 2014 2015 Position Ave. Min_. Ave. Max. LL Max. Recommend.
