AMEND THE CLASSIFICATION AND SALARY
PLAN MODIFYING THE SALARY RANGE OF
MULTIPLE POSITIONS
City Council Meeting
July 26, 2022
Amy Reeve,
Director of Human Resources
Human Resources Department
1 BACKGROUND
The Personnel Officer, on behalf of the City
Manager, insures the orderly and consistent
administration of the City Council’s adopted
classification and salary plan.
The Personnel Officer will make
recommendations that various classifications be
abolished, created or modified, and that some
existing salary ranges be adjusted.
2 BACKGROUND
During the recent round of labor negotiations, the
City and Teamsters 856 mutually identified
specific classifications as having ongoing
recruitment and retention issues including:
multiple failed recruitments, employment offers
to qualified candidates being rejected due to
compensation, and insufficient candidate pools
with a lack of qualified candidates possessing the
minimum qualifications for the classification.
3 BACKGROUND
The parties agreed that the City would complete a
total compensation survey for the identified
classes by January 1, 2022, and make
recommendations to Council to adjust the salary
based on the survey information and recruitment
and retention challenges
4 Analysis
The survey data showed that these classifications
were between six and twelve percent below the
market average. After completing the total
compensation surveys the Union and the City did
meet and confer and agreed that the 5% increase
is appropriate.
5 Fiscal Impact
The total fiscal impact will be approximately
$166,535 for FY 21-22 and $360,825 for FY 22-
23. The impact to the General Fund for FY 21-22
will be approximately $59,906 and $129, 726 for
FY 22-23, which will be added into the respective
department budgets during Mid-year
adjustments.
6 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Human Resources
Department that Council, by resolution, amend
the City’s Classification and Salary Plan to
modify the salary range of multiple positions
to address issues of recruitment and retention.
