Ms. Person noted the report reflected her recommendation that the City approve and implement one of two salary plans. Option A - moves salaries of employees to the next closest step from current salary, resulting in the minimal cost to implement the salary system. Option B - places' employees in the salary range based on years of service in their current positions, resulting in $712 more per month than option A. The salary range provided in the report should be considered a guide to the City based on internal evaluation and market survey results. Furthermore, the submitted recommendations have been applied to the DOER software and conveyed compliance with State regulations. Ms. Person opened the discussion for questions. Mr. March requested Ms. Person clarify on how she arrived at the position grades and how the ten step salary plans were developed. Ms. Person explained the grade scale was determined by job ranking points which reflected a job evaluation (personal interviews) for each position, current salary and a market survey. Also, the 10 step salary plans are based on an eight to 10 percent range between grades. Ms. Gaustad asked Ms. Person how the average pay for each grade was determined. Also, Ms. Gaustad requested clarification on the reliability and accuracy of the market study. Ms. Person
