Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,August 19,2013 <br /> Page 21 <br /> Councilmember Laliberte applauded Mayor Roe for taking the initiative to get <br /> something on paper as a starting point; opining that the draft mostly represented <br /> previous discussions of at least two of the five Councilmembers. <br /> In all fairness, Mayor Roe noted that several Councilmembers had been reserving <br /> their thoughts to-date. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte advised that she struggled with including any percent- <br /> age at all; opining that the City invariably chased something that varied from city <br /> to city even when looking at peer cities, causing a negative situation to be set up. <br /> Mayor Roe clarified that the comparison study looked at the top of the range. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte noted that there was no comparison with an employee's <br /> education, certification status, or other things that went into their jobs since it was <br /> proving difficult to find the same similar jobs. However, Councilmember <br /> Laliberte opined that the City wanted to be similar in pay when other factors were <br /> entering into that. Councilmember Laliberte also sought further comparison in- <br /> formation on the amount of staff turnover and longevity compared to peer cities if <br /> available, such as those not taking jobs or leaving the City's employment only due <br /> to compensation issues. Councilmember Laliberte noted that, if not already being <br /> done, those should be discussion points during exit interviews with employees, or <br /> at a minimum the Subcommittee reviewing the City Manager position, or even a <br /> subcommittee or staff level report. Councilmember Laliberte opined that this <br /> would determine if the City had a problem with its compensation, or if positions <br /> could not be filled with current or prospective employees seeking employment <br /> elsewhere. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte opined that she would like to see something for a spe- <br /> cific job, with similarities and comparables to the ten peer cities at a low, mid and <br /> high range; supporting a subsequent policy stating that the City would never fall <br /> into the low range on average of peer cities, but without a specific percentage, ra- <br /> ther than setting themselves up to fail. Councilmember Laliberte reiterated her in- <br /> terest in using existing ranges with variances or experience, certification and the <br /> other factors she mentioned; then utilizing those existing ranges if within the mid <br /> to high range. <br /> In response, Ms. Bacon advised that the City already compared ranges with other <br /> cities, and that the City of Roseville ranges are behind those amounts spoken <br /> about. Different from the private sector, Ms. Bacon referenced the salary steps <br /> within that range, with local government typically starting an employee at the bot- <br /> tom and working their way up to mid-range based on their competences; with the <br /> top of the reserved for those having reached a certain tenure or reaching the top of <br /> their peer or same similar job description ranks. Ms. Bacon reviewed the defini- <br /> tion of "same similar" as meaning qualifications and certification requirements <br />
