Item Description
Resolution Adopting 2007 Compensation Plan for Non-
Or anized Em 10 ees
Introduction
Attached is the 2007 Compensation Plan for Non-Organized Employees. It includes the implementation
of the 2007 Pay Plan, part-time pay, and flexible benefits plan contribution, among other items.
Discussion
The majority of the Compensation Plan is unchanged for 2007. The City Council previously acted on the
2007 Pay Plan, 2007 Flexible Benefits Plan Contribution, and life insurance for Paid On-Call Firefighters.
New to the Compensation Plan are pay and pay progression considerations for seasonal golf course
employees, part-time liquor store clerks, seasonal park laborers, and part-time fire inspector. As with
other seasonal, temporary, and most part-time positions, these positions do not fall within the city's pay
plan. The pay rates and progression recommendations are consistent with similar positions of the city
and have been reviewed by the appropriate division and department heads.
Financial Impact
. Costs associated with the Compensation Plan are included in the proposed 2007 budget.
Attachments
. Resolution
. Proposed 2007 Compensation Plan for Non-Union Employees
Action Requested
. Approve the attached resolution adopting the 2007 Compensation Plan for Non-Organized
Employees.
