He suggested that this be 16 addressed for future promotions. 17 18 City Attorney Riggs stated that the contract is correct and it would appear that it would be a past 19 practice situation. 20 21 Chief Sommer explained that the reason they are starting him at step three is because step two 22 would not be a pay increase. 23 24 Council Member Stigney asked if ‘past practices’ means that it could never be changed because 25 it is ‘past practice’. 26 27 MOTION/SECOND Thomas/Gunn To Approve Resolution 6568 Approving the promotion 28 of Steve Menard to the position of Sergeant. 29 30 Ayes–5 Nays–0 Motion carried. 31 32 P.
