Regular Meeting Page Two
Councilmembers Linke, Blanchard and Hankner voted
against the motion.
There was considerable discussion before the vote
was taken on the motion.
Councilmember Doty stated he favored a four percent
increase, with an additional two percent in
recognition of longevity and lack of supervision.
Councilmember Linke stated he agreed with the
feelings on Mrs. Sandgren's performance, and pointed
out that he brought up the same point during the
budget process, but at that time he could not get
enough of the Council to concur. He pointed out
that salaries were to be determined during the
buageting process, and since additional funds
for this person were not set aside, he could not
support the motion at this time. He also pointed
out Mrs. Sandgren's present salary is above the
median, and he does not feel she has been held
back. He pointed out the individual suggested
salaries were available during the budget process.
Mayor McCarty stated the Council had begun a
compensation study of salaries in 1979, in an
attempt to be comptetive with other cities, and
in the process of getting salaries in line,
Mrs. Sandgren's salary had been held back, since
she had started in 1967. He added that they are
now in a position where everyones salary is in
line, and it is not fair to hold Mrs. Sandgren back.
He also added that the recommendations on salary
increases did not come until after the budget was
adopted.
Councilmember Hankner stated she had plenty of
information available during the budget process,
and Council made policy statements to Staff, to
follow the past practice of bringing all employees
up to their salary range, and as of the 1985
budget year, most employees will have been brought up
to their median range. She added that the policy
was not established based on tenure. She added
that if this particular salary increase is approved,
they should go back and review everyone else, and
be ready to deviate on everyone elses salary.
Motion /Second: Linke /Hankner to approve Item D
of the consent agenda, as presented, and waive
the reading.
