Item No: 5.D. Meeting Date: August 13, 2018 Type of Business: Council Consent Administrator review: _______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8989, Adopting a Market Adjustment for the Deputy Police Chief Position Background The City Council authorized a market study for all non-union personnel in 2017 in an effort to maintain a competitive pay structure in light of significant staff turnover. That study was completed in late 2017 with the intent to implement any adjustments in 2019. The Police Department will be making some personnel changes in the fall of 2018. This would provide capacity to make a market adjustment to the Deputy Police Chief position. The Deputy Police Chief is currently at step 5 with a rate of $49.42. There is $1,300 in personnel savings to apply to a wage adjustment if the Council authorizes this adjustment, this would translate to $1.48 increase over the current rate for 9 pay periods or 720 hours. This has been reviewed by the Human Resources committee and the Police Chief supports the early adjustment. Discussion The table below represents the new market adjusted pay scale for the Deputy Police Chief position for 2018. The interim rate would be $50.90 effective on August 26, 2018 which would fall in between step 4 and step 5 of the new scale. This rate would be adjusted for any Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) granted by the City Council for 2019. The Deputy Police Chief would then go to step 5 on August 26, 2019. The projected step 5 for 2019 would be $54.24. Step 1 Step 1.5 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 42.13 43.44 44.76 47.39 50.03 52.66 Recommendation Staff recommends adjustment to the interim rate of $50.90 effective August 26, 2018 and adoption of the new pay scale. Respectfully submitted, _______________________ Nyle Zikmund City Administrator
