Authorization for RFP's for Market Study and Pay Equity <br /> Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson stated the City last did a market study <br /> and upgraded job position descriptions with an outside consultant in 2007, which resulted in a <br /> new compensation system, upgraded classifications as well as looked at the City's pay equity <br /> compliance. She noted the Personnel Committee met on March 1 lth and decided that a new study <br /> would be appropriate given the changes in staff and duties since that time. The City is scheduled <br /> to report on pay equity for the year-ending December 31, 2013. To ensure that the City is in <br /> compliance, the committee recommends that the Council go out for RFP's for a consulting firm <br /> who specializes in this work.
