ITEM #: 6
AGENDA ITEM: 2018 Staff Wage Adjustments
TO: Mayor and City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
Last year, the City Council adopted a Compensation Policy after review by the Human Resources
Committee and gathering of data from Tessia Melvin at David Drown and Associates. Last July, most
employees were placed into the next closest step in the step and grade system. In December, Council
updated the step and grade plan to keep up with changes in other communities.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Should the proposed wages be effective June 30, 2018?
PROPOSAL:
The following wage adjustments are recommended effective with the pay period beginning June 30, 2018
for those paid bi weekly.
Employee Current Proposed Frequency
Emily Becker $3,092.80 $3,192.80 bi-weekly
Mike Bent $3,365.60 $3,432.91 bi-weekly
Jake Foster $2,231.20 $2,303.20 bi-weekly
Julie Johnson $2,469.60 $2,591.20 bi-weekly

Nick Witter $21.75 $22.93 hourly
Rob Weldon $3,398.40 $3,596.00 bi-weekly

In addition to our regular full and part time staff, the City has also considered adjustments to the paid on
call pay structure for the fire department. Attached is a list of the different pay types and proposed rates
effective in July. The proposal represents a 2% increase. Since the substitute firefighter and part time pay
are new to the city (less than a year), no changes are proposed at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated fiscal impact for the remainder of 2018 is about $21,000. This includes wages, taxes and
benefits.
OPTIONS:
1) Approve the wage adjustments as presented
2) Approve the wage adjustments with a different effective date
3) Approve different wage adjustments
4) Do not approve any wage adjustments
