• <br /> AWARD BID - COMPENSATION <br /> STUDY Hundley stated that one of Council's goals was to <br /> improve employes morel* in the City. In 1985, <br /> $10,000 was allocated by the City Council to <br /> conduct an employee compensation study. Due to <br /> the City's financial situation at that time, <br /> Headley felt it was ill advised to conduct the <br /> study at that time as there wasn't money available <br /> for compensation. <br /> Asti-Ceranci described the bids requested for this <br /> study. Staff's objective of this salary and wage <br /> system is to pay City employees equitably, based <br /> on the relative internal value of each fob and the <br /> market value established by the competition. The <br /> system will be designed to attract, retain and <br /> motivate qualified City personnel. An effective <br /> salary administration system requires clear job <br /> definitions, effective performance appraisal <br /> techniques, and a system which sets salaries based <br /> on performance. Funding is requested to be <br /> allocated from the Council's Contingency Fund. <br /> Asti-Caranci pointed out that the 1985 General <br /> Fund carryover balance is approximately $60,000. <br /> This balance was not included in the 1986 budget <br /> as carryover. <br /> Staff recommendation is to award the bid to A.S. <br /> Hansen, Inc. for the Salary Compensation Study. <br /> The City's pay system has not been updated since <br /> 1983 and job descriptions have not been updated <br /> since 1981. <br /> Anderson asked if job descriptions would be <br /> developed for positions that may occur at a later <br /> date. Asti-Grand stated that the City currently <br /> has 41 job descriptions and the consultants will <br /> train staff as to how to writs job descriptions <br /> based on questionnaires and also how to update all <br /> job descriptions as needed. <br /> The consultants will also redesign the City's <br /> performance appraisal program and train <br /> supervisors how to evaluate an employee based on <br /> the level of responsibility within their job <br /> description tying that to their performance. <br /> Two types of pay will be investigated. The first <br /> type is a base pay with a salary increase each <br /> year. The second is a performance pay - bonus pay <br /> which does not accumulate. The consultants will <br /> be working directly with employers in their <br /> evaluation and study program. <br /> Asti-Caranci stated that staff felt the amount of <br /> 6 <br />
