CONSENT
AGENDA ITEM: 2020 Pay Scale
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBMITTED BY: Jake Dickson, Assistant City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the City hired David Drown and Associates (DDA) to complete a job classification and
compensation study. In 2017, Council approved an updated step and grade compensation policy resulting
from the DDA study and HR Committee recommendations. The DDA study also provided the city with a
list of comparable cities that could be used for future planning.
In order to effectively recruit and retain employees, annual cost of living adjustments should be
incorporated into step and grade pay scale annually. These adjustments are based on the data collected
from the DDA study-determined comparable cities.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
What cost of living adjustment should the City approve?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Using 2020 data from the comparable cities that responded, it was determined that the average COLA from
those comparable cities was 2.8%. Therefore, staff recommends that the step and grade plan include a 2.8%
COLA for 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2019 step and grade plan pay scale will include a 2.8% COLA across all positions and steps.
OPTIONS:
1) Approve the 2020 pay scale with 2.8% COLA
2) Approve the 2020 pay scale with different COLA
3) Do not approve 2020 pay scale
RECOMMENDATION:
If removed from the consent agenda:
“Move to approve the 2020 Pay Scale.”
