City Council Meeting

ACTION: oor6ycd _
December 8, 1997 (CC Meeting of December 17, 1997)
Consider Approving the City Manager's Merit Salary
Increase
DISCUSSION:
On December 3, 1997, the City Council conducted a performance
evaluation of the City Manager. The results of the evaluation
warrant consideration of a merit increase of 5 percent,
retroactive to the City Manager's anniversary date in July 1997.
In the past, the City Council has generally applied the
applicable "Personnel Rules" to exempt employees, including
Department Heads and the City Manager. Unlike every other
position, which had a 9 -step salary range, the City Manager only
had a 1 -step salary range. So, as a normal procedure, it
required specific action by the City Council to consider a merit
increase.
In May 1997, the City Council adopted a new compensation plan
which included an adjusted 9 -step range for all positions
including the City Manager. Ordinarily for all other positions,
after completion of a performance evaluation, a merit increase
would be routinely granted if justified by the results of the
evaluation. However, because this action deviates from prior
City Council practice relative to the City Manager's position,
this report is presented so that specific action can be
considered.
As indicated, consistent with the pertinent "Personnel Rules,"
the results of the evaluation warrant a merit increase of 5
percent (from Step D to Step F of Range 91). In order to conform
future actions relative to the City Manager's performance
evaluations and related eligible merit increases with the

practice for other City management employees, it is recommended
that the Council adopt the same practice for the City Manager.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a step increase from 91D to 91F, retroactive to the
applicable anniversary date of July 1997, for the City Manager,
and that future consideration of merit salary increases shall
conform to the same process as used for the Assistant City
Manager and Department Head positions.
