Salary Adjustments: Nelson stated that the
previous Council had establish salaries to
be consistent with the 7% guidelines established
by the President. The previous Council, however,
did not expend the full 7 %, rather they set aside
3% to be used to adjust salaries after the Police
contract was settled. The Police settled early
winter. According to the records Nelson read
thru should be an adjustment of 2.1% for all
non -union employees. Furthermore, that according
to Resolution 948, which set salaries for 1979, the
Administrator was to report to Council on whether
a compensation study should be conducted. Based
on that information Nelson recommended only
adjusting the two Police Sargeant's position by
the 2.1% increase, report to the Council concerning
the study before the 1980 Budget is adopted, and
carry over the balances of the adjustment funds
into 1980 for adjustment.
Ziebarth made the motion, seconded by Rowley
to grant the 2.1% adjustment to cover those
individuals listed on Resolution 948, excluding
Administrator Achen, Secretary M elhouse and
Sr. Acct. Clerk'Myers.
(notion withdrawn)
Amendment: Made my, M cCarty, seconded by Forslund,
that an increase of 2.1 %, bringing the increase
up to 7 %, be given to Police Sargeants Hagen & Smith.
(Admendment withdrawn)
McCarty made the motion, seconded by Forslund,
that an adjustment of 2.1% increase be allocated
to the Police Department for the two positions
of Police Sargeant, retroactive to January 1, 1979.

(Nay votes: Ziebarth
& Rowley)
Ziebarth made the motion, seconded by Rowley,
that the Council appropriate sufficient money
from the end of year fund balance into the 1980
budget for the 2.1% adjustment for all non -union
personnel excluded by the above motion. These
adjustments should be based on a compensation
study to be done primarily in- house, by the
appropriate staff. Further that we should set aside
in the 1980 budget some amount, to be determined in the
future, to pay for some minimal outside input
into the process for the final conclusions.
