City of Centerville Work Session & City Council Meeting Minutes November 13, 2025 job; the employee will complete a Job Analysis Questionnaire, staff will review and will meet with the employee to ensure that they understand the position; provide a group of comparable communities; market survey to those communities on the positions that are covered; collect and analyze that data; compile classification and compensation plan taking into account internal equity; comparable market; and provide recommendations. Mayor Golden stated that working with comparable cities but yet the City of Centerville was unique as it is a part of the seven metro counties having a population of 3,900 and how does the city keep those items aligned with comparable communities. Ms. Skagg stated that we look at communities that have a similar ability to pay. However, the setting component of that is looking at competitors in the region with MGT establishing 12 to 20 comparable communities based on two factors, financial ability to pay and then second competitors in the marketplace as the city wants to attract and retain employees and those that need to be trained. Council Member Rios asked for clarification for a timeline. Ms. Skaggs stated that it would take approximately three months. Mayor Golden asked if the contract was approved this evening how quickly the study could commence. Ms. Skaggs stated as soon as the contract was signed. Council Member Kubat ask why the city should complete this and what does it bring to the city. The study ensures pay equity and that the city is competitive with the market. She stated that the city would not have to complete another study in five years and that it would only need to be a compensation study. Council Member Koski asked if someone was in a position that happen to make more than your study reveals they should and what would be done about that. He also asked about additional positions that the city may want to add in the future. Ms. Skaggs stated that they never recommend a pay reduction, but the position would remain at the pay rate until the market aligns with it. Ms. Skaggs stated that they can provide the city with scoring information for positions along with current positions taking on additional responsibilities following the completion of the study. Administrator Lewis stated that she is interested in ascertaining what everyone is doing and what needs to be completed for replacing her previous position of Assistant City Administrator (e.g. appropriate title, compensation, etc.) Council Member Rios felt that the study would lay a foundation for recruitment and retention going forward.
