TO: Honorable Mayor and City.Council APPROVED FROM: Carroll Hayden, Human Resources Manager ~[' DEPARTMENT HEAD ~c~ DATE: August 22, 2000 CITY ATTORNEY 1~ CITY MANAGER ~'~C SUBJECT: 1) Personnel Committee Minority Report No. 1-00 regarding Salary Survey Results. 2) Personnel Committee Minority Report No. 2-00 regarding Salary Survey Results. RECOMMENDATION: Personnel Committee recommends referral to City Council for review and Council determination. BACKGROUND: The management salary survey results have been presented to and reviewed by the Personnel Committee. The Personnel Committee-had a member absent. They have-two minority report alternatives for City Council consideration. Two minority reports and salary survey information -to the Personnel Committee are attached. Councilmember Maggard .recommends increases for the classifications indicated, with a 5% limitation. Councilmember Carson recommends no increases as a result of the salary survey. The classification of Risk Manager is proposed to be deleted from consideration, as the position is under review due to the recent resignation of the incumbent. CITY OF BAKERSFIELD PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MINORITY REPORT NO. 1-00 August 30, 2000 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: SALARY SURVEY RESULTS I recommend that raises be given as indicated by the results of the salary survey and submitted by staff; however, I recommend that none of the raises exceed 5%. Any future raises for employees, other than cost of living raises, should follow the normal process of being requested by the Department Head. Respectfully submitted, Councilmember Mike Maggard, Chair CI'EY OF BAKERSFIELD PERSONNEL COMMITTEE · MINORITY REPORT NO. 2-00 August 30, 2000 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: SALARY SURVEY RESULTS I cannot recommend that additional classifications receive an increase, as a result of a salary survey, when the original management classifications received an increase without such a survey. To give these-increases now tends to compound the errors which I believe occurred in the first place. This in no way reflects on the merits of the individuals concerned nor on the work performed by the salary survey committee. Further, broad based adjustments should only be considered if an external salary survey is performed for all groups. Respectfully submitted, Councilmember Irma Carson ,BAKERSFIELD CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM July 21, 2000 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY CO/U~CIL~IBERS FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: SALARY SURVEY , Attached is the recommendation that will go to the Personnel Committee on the salary survey. It reoommends adjustments to seven position classifications, ranging from an adjustment of 10.4% on the high end to .9% on the Iow end. This is as close to consensus as we believe it is possible to achieve. A more accurate term than consensus might be "peaceful solution", because consensus would be overstated. The process has gone very slowly, because multiple efforts have been made to look at employee concerns and to address them, where possible. The recommendations reflect multiple changes in the original list, as derived from raw survey data. Some adjustments were made, because of inappropriate (or perceived to be) job comparisons within the sample. This report only deals with those positions that did not receive the initial 5% increase. Some employees' philosophies on the survey were incompatible with one another. For example, some believe all should receive 5%. Others believe no one should receive over 5%, irrespective of the data. Still, others believe the data should be implemented literally. Literal implementation of the data, however, in at least one case, would have put a subordinate's salary above that of his department head's. These go on and on. One thing needs to be made totally clear. This was a market survey to determine the appropriate .market range of salaries for a position classification. Some of our very best, most responsive, customer service oriented people did not even "pop up" on the survey. If it were a mer.it program, that would be different. No one should construe the failure of a position title to appear on the list as any form of negative reflection on that position. It identifies market norms - that is all. The end result of the process is that, if adopted, seven more positions get some salary adjustment who did not before. AT:rs Salary Survey Results Assistant Director of Recreation and Parks 10.4% ..

CARROLL HAYDEN, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER SUBJECT: MANAGEMENT SALARY SURVEY The Personnel Committee at a special meeting on October 26, 1999, directed staffto proceed with a salary survey of all management positions, as outlined in the attached document entitled "Salary Survey - Comparable Cities", dated 10/15/99, deleting any reference,to supervis6ry employees. Part of the direction was for a survey comm~tee to be formed, which would be comprised of two management employees, Darnell Haynes, Assistant to the City Manager, Alan Christensen, Assistant City Manager and myself. The final committee composition was Darnell Haynes, Scott Manzer, Para McCarthy, Dennis Fiddler, Alan Christensen, two Human Resources Supervisors - Anthony Gonzales and Janet McCrea, as well as myself. A questionnaire was developed to survey all 50 management positions, which included a concise description of each position and the salary range associated with that position. This questionnaire P:\Salary Survey Transmittal Doc.wlxt was reviewed by the Salary Committee and the management employee representatives reviewed the questionnaire with the group they represented. The questionnaire was also presented at a ~" department head meeting, where input on position descriptions was requested. All changes · requested by anyone were incorporated. This amended survey was then.distributed to our survey cities on November 19, 1999, with a request that it be returned t)y December 30, 1999. All survey results were finally returned by mid-January, 2000. At that time, 'H R staff compiled a list of questions, concerns and comments on the.data submitted. This information, along with the survey data, was shared with the Salary Committee. The Managemeht representatives, in turn, shared all of the information with their group, seeking questions or concerns. The information · was additionally shared with the Department Heads, seeking the same information. All information received was noted and then follow-up clarifying calls were made to each of the Cities where questions existed. As information was received and the data changed, it was reviewed with the Salary Committee. The final survey results were shared with everyone, through their respective groups. While the survey found 11 management positions to be paid less than 7% below the survey average, for the purpose of salary change recommendations to the Personnel Committee at this time, I am only recommending changes to 7 of those positions. Those 7 positions fall within the group of management employees who did not receive the 5% adjustment in 1999. The remaining 4 positions will be addressed at a later time; some, such as the Director of Recreation and' Parks, almost immediately, due to compaction issues. P:\Salary Survey Transmittal Doc.wpd $ The survey results and my recommendations for the 7 positions being addressed at this time are attached. After spending so much staff and' committee time on this survey, I am sorry that more positions couldn't be recommended for an increase, however, the survey results simply do not support any others being addressed. On the positive side, it should be affirming knowledge to our management employees that despite Bakersfield having an average cost of living 28% below our survey cities, our salaries are very competitive.
