2. Comprehensive Classification and Compensation StudyCity of Kalispell Post Office Box 1997 - Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 -Telephone (406) 758-7000 Fax - (406) 758-7758 REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Chris Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: City of Kalispell Pay Ranges for Non -Union Personnel MEETING DATE: June 21, 2004 BACKGROUND: Per our discussion last week pertaining to the Fox Lawson Compensation Study I have attached the requested spreadsheet. The spreadsheet identifies the pay grade and pay ranges as they currently exist per our May 19, 2003 salary ordinance and the salary ranges as recommended by the study. Each year the Council adopts a salary ordinance that sets the pay ranges for non -union personnel and is adjusted to accurately reflect salaries that are impacted by labor contracts. The bottom of the pay ranges or minimum is being increased by an average of 18.4% while the top or maximum within the pay range is increasing by an average of 13.5%. As a reminder, these are only the pay ranges per each pay grade and do not directly alter salaries. The decision of where to place individuals within the grades is how the salaries are impacted. It is anticipated that a two or three year implementation plan will be utilized in order to become competitive with the market. I would anticipate that the recommended pay ranges would be placed within a salary ordinance to be adopted July 6 in order for the administration to determine salaries as of July 1, 2004. Contractually, July 1st is when each of the union salaries are adjusted and is the beginning of a new fiscal year. As we continue to deal with the issues, increased health insurance for both the city and employees, it is critical that we address the issues identified within the compensation study in order to hire and retain competent employees. FISCAL EFFECTS: By adjusting the pay ranges the Council is not authorizing an adjustment in salaries however, a number of employees, at their current rate of pay, will no longer be within their pay ranges. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council give direction to the city manager to utilize the recommended pay ranges per the Fox Lawson compensation study for the 2004 salary ordinance to come before the Council on July 6, 2004.
