ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED B)/
Consider 2011 Compensation Plan and Title Change for Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator
Cablecaster Position REVIEWED BY
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve the attached resolution adopting the 2011 Compensation Plan for Non-Organized Employees.
Approve changing the title of the Temporary Cablecaster position to Part-time Cablecaster.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The majority of the Compensation Plan is unchanged for 2011. The 2011 budget does not include a cost
of living adjustment and the first item in the Compensation Plan reflects that. The City Council
previously acted on the 2011 Flexible Benefits Plan Contribution included in the Insurance Benefits
section of the Plan.
A change has been made to provide pay increases to part-time, seasonal, and temporary employees under
item number 7 based on the City's discretion. Previously the increases were based on the supervisor's
discretion. This change reflects the ability for the City Council to first determine whether there will be
annual increases for non-regular part-time, seasonal, and temporary employees as a whole and then
provides discretion to the supervisor on an individual basis to determine those increases based on the
approved pay schedule.
Based on the City's employment status definitions, the Temporary Cablecaster position has existed longer
than the Temporary definition provides and is truly apart-time position. Changing the title of that
position from Temporary Cablecaster to Part-time Cablecaster maintains consistency with those
definitions. This is included in this request because pay for this position is in the Compensation Plan
under item number 5.
Because the 2011 Compensation Plan is relatively unchanged from 2010, it has been put on the consent
agenda; however, if you would like to discuss it or would like a presentation on this plan, please pull it
from consent and I will be available to present and discuss.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Costs associated with the Compensation Plan are included in the 2011 budget.
