Administrator Whittaker asked the Council to consider.putting Ken Carroll in the pay classification of Light Equipment Operator, this would raise his hourly wage from $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.. M2; ., Carroll :is presently doi riq " the '-job of a Light Equipment Operator..=_Whittaker said he would still be _classified " as a General Maintenance Operator, He feelsthis would be a fair compromise,, as the current starting pay for LSO's is $7.80/hr. Novak agreed that Mr. Carroll's description should be reevaluated; but did not feel it was appropriate to do so before the regular evaluation period in August. Fraser feels this is a reasonable request in light of the responsibility Mr. Carroll has assumed during the past several months, and feels his classification, job description and pay should be commensurate with his work. Mottaz did not favor changing Mr. Carroll's classification and feels the entire situation should be reevaluated. The Council discussed Mr. Carroll's responsibilities, job clas- sification and pay. The Council agreed a fair compromise would be a General Maintenance Operator classification, at current mid point pay of $7.15/hr. Fraser moved, seconded by Eder, to increase Ken Carroll to the current mid -point wage for General Maintenance Operator of $7.15/hr. Motion carried 4-0. Mayor Eder appointed Councillors Fraser and Novak to serve on the Personnel Committee to review the :personnel policy.
