Minutes Page 8 of Regular cou~ Meeting, January 26, 1987 - Discussion of Comparable Worth Clerk Administrator suggested that since labor negotiations are already in progress, Council may elect to begin the comparable worth process. She explained a logical starting point would be to post the hierarchy of benchmark positions that Control Data has submitted to the municipalities, and then to ~ set up an appeals process for the employees. Morrison noted the appeals process may take approximately one month and after completion of the appeals, the employees should receive point value ranges. She stated a pay line for employees would have to be computed and explained there are several methods of accomplishing that task. In summary, Morrison stated the plan for compliance and implementation of the plan should be in effect, as per State statute, by August 1, 1997 and she would welcome direction from the Council on how they would like to proceed. Sather asked if it would be appropriate to appoint a Council liaison to work with the Clerk Administrator and report back to Council. Morrison stated that would be most helpful. Mayor Woodburn suggested Mrs. McNiesh may be able to provide knowledge of job functions and want to assist the Clerk Administrator with this matter. Morrison agreed that McNiesh would be extremely valuable for her knowledge of job duties performed within each employees position. Sather volunteered to represent Council as the liaison. . Mayor Woodburn stated he would work with McNiesh and Morrison on the comparable worth committee.
