Personal Services <br />The increase in Personal Services is due to normal salary adjust- <br />ments. <br />There are no significant changes proposed in the City's overall <br />compensation system. The City's pay levels are competitive with <br />those of other cities, as indicated by aurveys of comparable <br />metro area cities. <br />Internal pay equity concerns were addressed in recent years based <br />on job evaluation studies and the Comparable Worth Law. <br />Sased on staff's understanding of the most recent revisions of <br />the Comparable Worth Law, the City is in reasonable compliance <br />with the law.
