these revenue sources are stagnant or are not expected to increase beyond inflationary-type <br />63 <br />amounts and therefore cannot be relied upon to fund the Compensation Study implementation. <br />64 <br />These costs are based on the roster of employees as of May 31, 2013. <br />65 <br />66 <br />Adjustments could be phased in over the next year such as implementing the <br />67 <br />reclassifications($20,000) and 2% (to achieve at least the 97% of marketplace) on 7/1/13, and <br />68 <br />1.5% + COLA on 1/1/14, and the final 1.1% on 7/1/14. It is important to note here that delays in <br />69 <br />implementation create componding results. Under this implementation schedule the costs would <br />70 <br />be as follows: <br />71 <br />72 <br />$20,000+ <br />* <br />1.5%Jan14 <br />Source2%Jul141.1%Jul14 <br />TaxLevy$84,808$63,606$46,644 <br />CableFranchiseFees$2,696$2,022$1,483 <br />ITRevenues$18,868$14,151$10,377 <br />LicenseCenterFees$17,520$13,140$9,636 <br />BuildingPermitandPlanReview <br />Fees$15,498$11,624$8,524 <br />WaterandSewerFees$8,086$6,065$4,447 <br />RecyclingFees$674$506$371 <br />GolfCoursefees$4,044$3,033$2,224 <br />Reclassifications$20,000 <br />$ <br />Total172,194$114,146$83,707 <br />*excludes any potential COLA increase as that has not been determined yet. <br />73 <br />74 <br />To stay current, the Council will need to provide ongoing funding for future years to maintain <br />75 <br />the pay plans at 100% of the market average by providing a cost of living adjustment that meets <br />76 <br />the market’s average. <br />77 <br />78 <br />Whether the existing 97% + merit pay compensation plan stays in effect or the proposed new <br />79 <br />compensation plan is instituted, there will be a need to allocate over $320,000 additional funds. <br />80 <br />SR <br />TAFF ECOMMENDATION <br />81 <br />1.Abandon the policy that sets non union, exempt and non-exempt pay plans at 97% of the <br />82 <br />average with merit pay component that was never fully funded or implemented. This <br />83 <br />practice is very unusual in the public sector and has proven to be ineffective. <br />84 <br />2.Reestablish the pay plans for non-union, exempt and non-exempt, at 100% of the 10 City <br />85 <br />average as shown by the study, resulting in a 4.6% increase to the pay plans as implemented <br />86 <br />above (without the merit pay component). <br />87 <br />3.Positions found to be more than 6% under the market average after plan adjustments are <br />88 <br />completed would be reviewed and potential reclassified to the next higher grade at the step <br />89 <br />just above their current rate of pay.
