Action Requested
Approve the attached resolution adopting the 2008 Compensation Plan for Non-Organized Employees.
Background/Discussion
The majority of the Compensation Plan is unchanged for 2008. The City Council previously acted on the
2008 Flexible Benefits Plan Contribution and Health Savings Account match, which is included in the
Insurance Benefits section of the Plan, and the proposed budget includes the three percent cost of living
adjustment. Because of this, the Compensation Plan 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 off the consent agenda.
Pay and pay progression for Ice Arena Concessions, Hockey and Skating Academy positions is being
added to the Compensation Plan to formalize past practice. 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 Arena
Manager Rich Czech and Parks and Recreation Director Bill Maertz.
Due to recent organizational changes in the Public Works Department, Public Works Director Terry
Maurer requested the ability to have employees in Laborer positions assist with snow plowing. To
accommodate this we have added an Out of Class Pay provision for employees assigned to snow plowing
who do not perform snow plowing as part of their regular job with the City. Although the 2008
Compensation Plan is effective January 1, 2008, we are recommending this provision provide Out of
Class Pay starting at the beginning of this snow plow season. The snow plowing duties that would be
performed are consistent with those of the Street Maintenance I position. Employees who fall under this
provision will be paid at pay grade 5 for the hours they perform snow plowing which is the pay grade for
the Street Maintenance I position. This provision is written so that it will accommodate any employee
assigned to this special duty.
Financial Impact
Costs associated with the Compensation Plan are included in the proposed 2008 budget.
