ATTACHMENT 2 – Scenarios

The scenarios below present a possible range of costs. As the Management Partners’ report identified, suppression base compensation is about 16% below market, the scenarios below apply the 16% over the next two years, with 8.0% factored into FY 2023‐24 and 8.0% factored into FY 2024‐25. The ongoing cost of living adjustments (COLA) are based on growth factors applied by Management Partners in their report presented on September 6, 2022 (see table 1 below).

Table 1: Growth Scenario Variables

The Growth Scenario Variable table above is presented by fiscal year in Table 2 below.
