MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor Johnson and City Council
From: Doug Russell, City Manager
Re: Non -union Salary Adjustment for Fiscal Year 2024
Meeting Date: March 6, 2023
BACKGROUND: Each year, as part of the budget process, the Council reviews the
recommendation to adjust the wages of employees not represented by one of the three collective
bargaining units. The city has put forth effort to maintain consistency within the organization for
the employees represented by one of the three bargaining units and the employees that are not
represented. As such, our pay system was developed to be an objective process that prevents
falling behind in the market, and conversely, prevents outpacing the market. This process
included developing a market -based review system for each position that compares data points
representing five cities with populations above the City of Kalispell and 5 cities with
populations below the City of Kalispell. This allows for the creation of a 20-step matrix based
on the midpoint of that analysis that is consistent with the market across Montana and allows for
easy comparison during labor negotiations. This market analysis was conducted for the non -
represented employees at the same time as the AFSCME and KPA contract negotiations.
FISCAL IMPACT: The increase for the recommended implementation is approximately
$579,000. This amount is spread across numerous funds (general, enterprise, special revenue,
etc.).
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 6122,
adopting the updated 20-step matrix and the annual step increase for eligible employees.
RESOLUTION NO. 6122
A RESOLUTION ADJUSTING THE SALARY AND COMPENSATION OF THE CITY
OFFICIALS, SUPERVISORS, AND ALL OTHER NONUNION EMPLOYEES
PURSUANT TO TITLE 7, CHAPTER 4, PART 42, M.C.A. COMMENCING ON THE
DATE INDICATED HEREIN.
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell is a general powers city of the state of Montana and is
authorized by MCA 7-4-4201 to set the compensation and salaries of its elected and
appointed city officers by resolution of its City Council; and
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 1623, the Kalispell City Council determined that it is in the best
interests of the city and the efficient governance of the city that the compensation and
salaries of the city employees be set from time to time by resolution of the Kalispell
City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell employs elected officials, appointed city officers as well as
other nonunion employees who are not otherwise represented under a collective
bargaining agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it is fair and equitable based upon the salary market
research of municipalities within the State of Montana to increase the salaries and
compensation of the city appointed officers and nonunion employees for FY2024
in accordance with the effort to maintain consistency across the organization, the
market survey results, and the 1.3% step increase built into the salary matrix.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The salaries and compensation of city appointed officers and nonunion
employees for the period of FY2024, beginning July 1, 2023, shall be paid
in amounts consistent with the wage and salary matrix attached hereto as
Exhibit "A", subject to individual position classification review.
Appropriations shall be made to pay same when due.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND SIGNED BY THE MAYOR OF
THE CITY OF KALISPELL, THIS 6TH DAY OF MARCH, 2023.
