Wage Increase for Don Karstens
Don started working for the City in May of 2001 as a part-time summer worker at $8.69 per
hour. At the 9-17-01 meeting, the City Coundl approved a pay increase to Pay Grade 2,
Step C or $11.08 per hour.
For the July 1, 2002 annual employee evaluation Don showed a high level of performance.
To utilize his many skills I have assigned him projects that include: carpentry, concrete
forming and finishing, irrigation installation, park shelter renovation, building maintenance at
city buildings and other duties that are considered maintenance I level.
I recommended promotion to maintenance I at that time but because Don is not full time,
his promotion was not included with the other personnel changes.
I have discussed this issue with City Administrator Pat Klaers and Finance Director Loft
Johnson and we would like to continue his present work schedule of 32 hours per week and
32 to 36 weeks per year with the following wage change.
Recommendation:
City Council approve a wage increase for Don Karstens from Pay Grade 2, Step C to Pay
Grade 8, Step A ($12.81/hr) retroactive to July 1, 2002 keeping his present schedule of 32
hours.
