The new compensation program requires that the salary range for each Department Head c(assification is established by using the fowest and highest salary for each position within the City's group of comparable cities. Setfing the salary range does not affect any salary increase of Executive Management Group members. Actual salary increases, if appropriate, are set by the City Manager. In conducting the survey for Community Development Services Director and Public Works Services Director, it was determined that in some comparable cities, Engineering and Building is haused in Public Works. In Redwood City, Engineering and Building is housed within Community Development Services. Givsn this unique arrangement, it was determined that ii would pe mor� ��ro�riate ta u�e the survey informatio►� from both classifications to estabiish the salary ranges. Tnis method is currently being used in determining salary ranges for the Community Development Division Managers. In an effort to create a stronger executive management team and remove the difficufties of managi�g a two�i�rcd sy��c�, �n �ec�rruer �4, 2004, the Council P�rscn�� ub- Committee decided to establish one salary setting policy for a!I members af the Executive Managemenfi Group. This policy set the salary range for Division Heads based on the same criteria as the Department Heads, using the lowest and highest salary far each pasition within our group of comparable cities. The actual salaries for Division Managers in the Executive Management Group are set by their depar#ment head with approvaE of the City Manager. The market survey for 2007 was conducted by internal HR staff and has been reviewed by the executive management group. If approved, the new salary ranges will be effective July 1, 2007. Section VI (b) of the Executive Management Summary of Benefits is the provision for professional developmen#reimbursement. This provision allows for personal develapment and improvement reimbursements of up to $750 per year. In past years, health and wellness activifiies, such as gym memberships have been reimbursed under the program.
