Increases within <br />salary ranges established by the City Council shall be administered as follows: <br /> <br />A. Initial appointments shall normally be made at the lowest step or rate of pay. The City <br />Manager shall have the authority to appoint candidates at any step (for salary ranges <br />expressed in steps) or at any rate between the minimum or maximum of a salary range <br />(for salary ranges not expressed in steps) when justified upon consideration of 1) the <br />difficulty of locating qualified personnel, or 2) an appointee's experience, education, <br />knowledge of the particular duties required, personal fitness for the position, and such <br />other criteria as may be reasonably related to such preferential consideration on the <br />basis of merit. <br /> <br />8. An employee may be eligible for a salary adjustment to the next higher step (for <br />salary ranges expressed in steps) or rate (for salary ranges not expressed in steps) <br />above the initial step or rate to which appointment was made upon the satisfactory <br />completion of six (6) consecutive months employment. Such an adjustment shall be <br />made only upon the recommendation of the department head for such employee, and <br />upon the approval of the City Manager. Employment of a person not recommended for <br />such adjustment should normally be terminated. The provisions of this subsection shall <br />not be deemed to affect the length of any prescribed probationary period. <br /> <br />C. All salary adjustments above the adjustment made after six (6) consecutive months <br />employment in accordance with the provisions of subsection 8, above shall be made in <br />accordance with the provisions of this subsection.
