f"" , , I I Council Meeting Minutes December 29, 1992 Page 3 Council Business. continued Assistant to the City Manager Barbara Jeanetta presented for consideration the 1993 pay plan for non.union personnel. Each year, Council sets the compensation rates for the City's pay plan for non-union personnel. The process involves review of the metropolitan mean for job positions obtained from the Stanton Survey. After evaluation of the survey, a cost of living increase is considered and then added to the mean. The City's recommendation is based upon a 2.9% increase in non- union employee wages for 1993 and reflects a wage offer which was accepted by the City's Public Works union employees. The City also adjusts to within 10% of salaries for comparable responsibilities in the comp worth plan. Two adjustments were necessary to bring the Community Development Director and the Park and Recreation Director up to those levels. For health insurance, it is proposed that the City's monthly maximum contribution be increased $25 per month to $305. The number of paid holidays for non-union personnel will be increased by one floating holiday to 1 2 days to match the number of paid holidays already allowed to union personnel. Jeanetta said the range of 1993 increases among other metropolitan cities vary from 2.5% to 3.5%.
