Metropolitan Area i 1a(Alroucln <br />Of III#, I rdNl I: ,1y Awa <br />January B, 1905 <br />J <br />TO: ALL JURISDICTIONS PARTICIPATING �� <br />LN JU1NT COMPARABLE WORT11 :PI'IJDy <br />FROM: William S. Joynes, Chairman �tv <br />MAMA General Labor Relations Committee �r <br />SUBJECT: FINAL COST DE'rERM1NAT1011 AND <br />SAMPLE RESOLUTION <br />At long last I am finally able to provide you with the specific dollar <br />cost to your organization for the Comparable Worth Study being <br />conducted by Control Data Business Advisors, Inc. The contract costs <br />have been alloted in the following manner: <br />1. Three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) base charge for each <br />jurisdiction, and <br />2. Thirty-five dollars ($35.00) for each employee. <br />This is on the high side of our original estimate due to several <br />factors. The first is the fact that we have chosen to build in a <br />contingency of ten percent to provide for possible legal consultation <br />or other unforeseen problems. Secondly, we have had to develop more <br />original survey information than anticipated due to the variety of <br />occupational areas represented in our study group. If all goes well, <br />the project should enjoy a surplus at its conclusion which would be <br />returned to the participants in proportion to their original costs. <br />I would also like to define for you the definition of a jurisdiction, <br />that is, one that must pay the $3,000.00 base fee. Obviously each <br />individual city will be considered one entity and will be defined to <br />include employees who work for libraries and Housing and Redevelopment <br />Authorities. <br />All utilities, regardless of the degree of autonomy from the city, <br />will be considered separate entities and will be subject to the <br />$3,000.00 base charge. Hospitals will be similarly considered. The <br />reason for this was two -fold. One, is was necessary to develop <br />separate occupational survey materials for utility and medical <br />positions which, in fairness, the cities should not be asked to <br />subsidize. Second, it was virtually impossible to determine which <br />utilities were autonomous or operated by individual cities. A waiver <br />of the $3,000.00 base charge to a utility because it was a part of thei <br />city would have been difficult to discern and unfair. <br />
