MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 12, 2012
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Patrick Klaers, City Administrator
FROM: Sue Iverson, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: 2012 Employee Compensation Plan — Non Union Employees
Back�round
The City Council did a market study in late 2007 and implemented a compensation plan
on December 1, 2007. On both January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009, a 3% COLA was
applied to this plan, in 2010 there was no COLA increase. In 2011 an increase of 1% was
applied on January 1 St and another 1% on July 1 St. The City Council values its employees
and is sensitive to the market in which they compete, therefore maintaining a viable
compensation plan is vital to the City.
Discussion
Annually the City Council evaluates its compensation plan and determines if a cost of
living adjustment (COLA) is appropriate. During the 2012 budget discussions, the
council discussed the 2007 market study and their plan to set the benchmarks for the
salary ranges but due to budget constraints at the time, the benclunarks were not set at the
point the Council wanted to set them and planned on doing it over a few years. The
economic events of 2008 and forward affected this plan. After evaluating the
surrounding communities, it was decided to increase the salary scale by 1% on July 1,
20L1 which provided for a 1,5% increase to employees in 2011. Council directed staff to
prepare the 2012 budget with a 1% increase on January 1, 2012 and an additional 1%0
increase on July 1, 2012 which results in a 1.5% increase to employees for 2012. This, in
effect helps to achieve the goal the City Council set in 2008 to increase the salary scale to
the desired benchmark compared to other cities while minimizing the effect on the
operating budget.
