Jennifer Keegan, Wayne Greenwood and John Kelly all spoke positively of Docktown. Mayor Ruskin thanked the committee and informed the interested parties that they would be kept informed on the legal issues related to Docktown. B) Personnel Committee- City Manager and City Clerk Salaries: Personnel Committee Chairperson Hartnett stated before the Council was a unanimous recommendation from the Personnel Committee consisting of Council Members Hartnett, Ira and Vice Mayor Claire to adjust the salary of the City Manager by 9.45% effective the first pay period on or after October 1, 1999. As the Executive Management benefits change, the City Manager is to receive benefits of such change. The report contained different and more data than previously used in that it includes information with respect to personnel other than City Managers. In comparable cities, the Assistant City Manager salary as well as the highest paid Department Head, if not the Assistant City Manager, is noted. Additionally, cities were used other than those used in the labor bargaining groups to have the benefit of additional information. The information was gathered under the direction of the Personnel Committee by the City Clerk over a period of time with review by the City Manager. M/S Hartnett/Pierce to adopt the committee's recommendation and adopt: i) RESOLUTION 13922 AMENDING SALARY SCHEDULE AND COMPENSATION PLAN FOR THE CITY MANAGER; (905) The motion passed by a unanimous roll call vote. Personnel Committee Chairperson Hartnett stated the recommendation was a unanimous recommendation by the Personnel Committee that the City Clerk's salary be increased by 13% effective the first pay period on or after April 1, 2000, the anniversary date of the City Clerk's hiring and that the salary range be eliminated. The City Council had set a salary range for the City Clerk intended to provide some predictability in connection with the City Clerk compensation. The Personnel Committee felt that as it is inappropriate to set a salary range for the City Manager, it is inappropriate to set a salary range for the City Clerk. Each employee should be evaluated annually and adjustments made as the City Council sees fit. The data presented to justify the 13% increase shows that the City Clerk's position is, even at the top of the existing range, at somewhat below market. The data in the packet relative to other City Clerk positions was obtained by the Human Resources Director with review by the City Clerk.
