6.3.B. - Page 1 <br /> RE PO RT <br /> To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From the Personnel Subcommittee <br /> July 9, 2012 <br /> SUBJECT <br /> Salary Adjustment for the City Manager <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Approve by resolution a salary adjustment for the City Manager. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The City Manager was appointed effective April 11, 2011 and therefore the City <br /> Manager's anniversary for salary adjustment is April of each year. This position receives <br /> a salary set by City Council and does not have the traditional "step" but rather the <br /> compensation is set by Council resolution, typically after considering the comparable <br /> salary survey market and a review of the employee's performance. <br /> On April 9, 2012, the City Council conducted a performance evaluation of the City <br /> Manager. In March 2012, a salary survey of comparable cities was conducted. The <br /> City Manager's compensation was 0.26% below market median of total salary of <br /> comparable agencies. <br /> Based on that survey and the employee's performance evaluation, it is recommended <br /> that the City Manager's base salary be increased by four percent (4%). If approved, the <br /> City Manager's base monthly salary will increase from $17,907 to $18,623 per month, <br /> effective the first pay period following April 11, 2012. If approved, it would bring the <br /> salary 3.74% above market median. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> The following are alternatives to the recommendation: <br /> 1. Not grant a salary increase at this time; <br /> 2. Grant a lower salary increase at this time; <br /> 3. Grant a higher salary increase at this time. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The cost of the salary increase and salary related benefit costs is $11,861 per fiscal <br /> year. <br />
