14669 Fitzgerald Avenue North, Hugo, MN55038 • (651) 762-6300 • www.ci.hugo.mn.us <br />TO: Honorable Mayor Tom Weidt and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Bryan Bear, City Administrator <br />SUBJECT: 2018 Salary Resolution <br />DATE: For the City Council Meeting of December 04, 2017 <br />DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Adoption of Resolution Setting 2018 Salaries and Employee Reimbursement Levels <br />CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION <br />During the 2018 budget process, the City Council indicated its agreement with the staff's recommendation to increase <br />the city's salary matrix by 2.0% (cost of living increase) and to grant step increases to those employees who have not <br />yet reached their pay grade maximums. After consulting with Department Heads, and with the assistance of the <br />Finance Department, the City Administrator hereby submits the attached salary resolution for City Council <br />consideration. <br />SALARY ADJUSTMENTS <br />The proposed resolution reflects the direction to staff as stated above. Four (4) of the city's 23 full-time employees will <br />receive step increases. A pay differential of $120/pay period has been added to the Mechanic's position for the use of <br />personal tools in the performance of his duties. The Utility Billing Clerk has been moved from Pay Grade 4, Maximum, <br />to Pay Grade 5, Step 4. The net aggregate dollar increase due to these adjustments equals $14,903. The net aggregate <br />dollar increase due to a 2.0% cost of living adjustment equals $32,086. The overall net aggregate dollar increase equals <br />$47,012, of which $41,623 is contained in the general fund budget. The remainder is included in the water and sewer <br />operating fund. The overall budget for employee wages will increase by 2.93%. <br />FIRE DEPARTMENT RETENTION PLAN <br />The salary resolution contains a provision whereby firefighters who have completed at least 5 years of service (but less <br />than ten) on the department as of 01/01/18 will receive an additional $0.50 per hour <br />COMPARABLE WORTH COMPLIANCE <br />The adjustments will continue to allow the City to be in compliance with Pay Equity Statutes. Pay equity, or comparable <br />worth, is a standard that has been written into state law and applied to the public sector. The law specifically requires <br />that cities develop and administer compensation systems that establish and maintain equitable relationships between <br />female -dominated and male -dominated job classes. Our compensation system was found to be in compliance by the <br />Minnesota Department of Employee Relations last year and will be reviewed again in January, 2020. Using state <br />provided software staff ran the statistical analysis test (must be higher than 80%) and confirmed that the proposed <br />salaries will keep our compensation system compliant with pay equity guidelines. <br />
