The <br /> best "market" for pay comparisons is the DCA Stanton Report. Published every July, the Stanton lists over <br /> 174 positions commonly found in cities. The positions are compared to those of comparable size with <br /> comparable position responsibilities and scope of duties. <br /> Paul has been an excellent employee. It is my recommendation that Paul receive a 6 month step pay <br /> increase based on the following 5 step pay plan: <br /> Starting Wage Wage at 6 mos. Wage at 1 Yr. Wage at 2 Yrs. Wage at 3 Yrs. <br /> STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4 STEP 5 <br /> $11.72 $12.45 $13.18 $13.92 $14.65 <br /> The 5 step plan is basedon market comparisonsprovided in the DCA Stanton Report. Step 5 <br /> is the mean position salary of all the suburban communities with populations of over 10,000. <br /> Each step representsa 5% increasewith the starting wage calculated at 80% of the Stanton <br /> mean. <br /> Paul's current wage is $11.92. However, in order to remain consistentwith the 5 step pay plan, <br /> it is recommendedthat he advanceto the step 2 wage. It is further recommendedthat this <br /> wage increase be retroactive to his 6 month anniversary of March 17, 1991. <br /> SamanthaOrduno, Ci dministrator <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Waive reading and approve Resolution No. 4090 Authorizing a Wage Adjustment for Paul <br /> Harrington, Planner <br />
