A. DISCUSSION AND COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION ON MANAGEMENT SALARY SURVEY
The salary survey and different options were discussed. It was noted for those who did not receive the
5% adjustment, the wage comparison was done on their salary to the survey sample as is. For those
who did receive the 5% adjustment, their adjusted salary after the 5% was put on their salary for the
survey average. If you put this in the same terms as the group that are below the survey average, there
are only a few that are over the survey average when taking that 5% into account for comparison
purposes.
Committee Chair Maggard suggested that one altemative to move forward would be to recommend that
raises be given as indicated by the salary survey results, capping all of those raises to be no more than
5%, so every one of those, with the exception of one, would only receive 5%. The one position
suggested to receive .9% would get .9%. There wouldn't be any other raises. There wouldn't be any
other adjustments other than the cost of living adjustments that would normally be forth coming. When
there is and should there be a salary survey done, it would be a survey of all the employees. It would

be conducted by an outside service. The surveying consultant would be chosen as a result of a
committee that would be comprised of a representative from Supervisory, Management, Personnel, and
Fire or Police if desired.
Committee member Carson expressed concerns that the Committee is getting into the area of labor
negotiations and this issue should go through the negotiation process. She stated that she did not have
a recommendation at this time. The fairness issue still has not been resolved. This issue arose when
some management positions were given a 5% increase, and those who did not receive the raise were
concemed that this was done outside of negotiations. Then when some chose not to be included in the
survey, again we are working with incomplete information. The reason it came before the Committee
was so parity could be achieved by including those who had been left out. The issue has not been
remedied by giving raises in part.
It was discussed that if complete salary survey information had been available at the time the 5%
increase was given to solve the compaction issue, a more informed decision could have been made.
The Committee has met several times and spent many hours on this issue and they wish to move this
back to the full Council. Each member of the Committee will be able to explain their perspective and
have the full Council make a decision on the issue. Committee Chair Maggard will'provide staff with
a draft for Committee members to review, so concise information can be included in the Council packet.
