APPROVAL OF CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION CONTRACT WITH MGT CONSULTING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The last Classification and Compensation study was completed in 2012. During the 2022 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) negotiations, the City agreed to conduct a Classification and Compensation study during the approved contract period.

On June 6, 2023, the City requested proposals (RFP) from qualified consultants to perform a City-wide classification and compensation study (Attachment A). A total of two responses were received by the deadline of July 11, 2023. After reviewing each of the submittals, staff recommends that the City Council approve a contract with MGT Consulting in the amount of $133,880 to conduct a classification and compensation study.

2. Quality of past professional experiences.

3. Overall costs and fees to be charged.

4. Demonstrated understanding of working with City employees through a classification and compensation study process.
