Attachment E 295 Compensation Adjustments 296 297 Employee Step Increases ($419,256 new tax levy support) 298 As part of the city’s compensation plan, non-union employees that meet work goals and provide 299 satisfactory work receive wage increases based on a 7-step grid. Union employees also receive 300 step increases in a similar manner, with each contract providing for a different step system. The 301 new cost represents the tax levy needed to cover the expected step increases in 2023 for staff. 302 303 Employee COLA (3%) $452,923 new tax levy support) 304 Current union contracts have cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) of 3% in 2023 for union 305 employees which is built into the 2023 budget. This budget also has incorporated a 3% COLA for 306 non-union staff as a matter of parity and in recognition of the high inflation rate the public is 307 facing. The new cost represents the cost to provide the 3% COLA to all city employees. It should 308 be noted that of the total cost increaseof $598,223 for the COLAs, $452,923 will consist of new 309 tax levy dollars. 310 311 312 Increase Park and Rec Seasonal Pay ($154,872 new tax levy support) 313 The City has not raised the hourly rate for Park and Recreation seasonals for many years. The 314 current pay, averaging $11/hour, lags behind other employers and as a result, the city has difficulty 315 in recruiting and retaining seasonals. The 2023 budget increases seasonal pay to $14/hour. The 316 new cost represents the cost to make the adjustment. 317 318 Police Intern Pay ($6,600 new tax levy support) 319 Similar to other positions, the wage for Roseville Police Department intern position needs to have 320 a wage increase to stay competitive to recruit candidates. We have found the paid intern position 321 a helpful way to help our recruitment efforts. The new cost represents the cost to make the wage 322 adjustment. 323 324 FD Advanced Life Support Pay ($70,141 new tax levy support) 325 In 2021, the City Council authorized advanced life support as part of the first-responder response 326 for Roseville Fire Department. In recognition of the more advanced skills our firefighters will 327 need to provide ALS services, the paramedic position was created. The paramedic position due to 328 the advanced work theyperform, will receive higher pay than a firefighter. The new cost 329 represents the wage differential between firefighters and 9 paramedics. 330 331 Inflationary Costs for Supplies, Operations, and Contractual Services 332 The 2023 City Budget incorporates inflationary costs for supplies, operations, and contractual 333 services. Some examples are body cam software support, dispatching services, utility costs for 334 city facilities, equity efforts, and NYFS contract costs. It should be noted that the increase in fuel 335 costs have been factored out of this line item as I propose to utilize the Cash Reserve Fund to pay 336 for any fuel costs above the normally budgeted line items in each department. The total net cost to 337 cover the inflationary increase for supplies, operations, and contractualservices is $310,693. 338 339 Total new levy costs for maintaining programs and investing in the city workforce included in 340 City Manager’s proposed 2023 budget is on the following page. 341
