8. BOARDS, COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE REPORTS <br /> <br /> A. Recommendation from the Personnel Committee on City Manager's Compensation; (209) <br /> <br /> Council Member Hartnett, recommended that the salary of the City Manager be increased by 5% <br /> effective retroactive May 1, 1999. The City Manager last adjustment compensation occurred 19 <br /> months ago. The 5% is consistent with the compensation adjustment provided to the bargaining <br /> units over the same period of time. The salary survey that the committee is undertaking will <br /> provide further data for subsequent recommendations from the Personnel Committee. But the <br /> preliminary indication is that the current compensation is almost 8.5% below the compensation <br /> median of the cities that we typically compare for the bargaining units. <br /> However, the City Manager is not part of a bargaining unit and his compensation need not be <br /> compared; his adjustment is not based upon a scale but based upon the Council's discretion and <br /> determination. Council Member Hartnett informed the Council that the Personnel Committee <br /> instructed the City Clerk to conduct a formal salary survey of comparable cities that we <br /> normally use, in addition to some of the neighboring cities that may not normally be used in the <br /> comparison. Once that data is available and presented back to the Committee, that body may <br /> make any other recommendations as they see fit. <br /> <br /> Council Member Jordan, observed that it is the City's policy to keep a difference of 10% <br /> between the manager and the next highest paid employee, consequently, and even though some <br /> positions are not in bargaining units, they are pushed up along as the bargaining units get their <br /> increases. <br /> <br />-- M/S Hartnett/Howard to accept the recommendation. Unanimously. <br /> MINUTE ORDER NO. 99-167 <br /> <br /> 9.
