Human Resources Director Hix stated Ecopass may be one that most offer that. Louisville doesn't. Councilmember Stolzmann asked if there is any wage and gender information related to compensation. Human Resources Director Hix noted that the City has more male than female employees, there are more males making less than $50,000 than females, but that flip flops at the higher end of the pay scale also. Councilmember Stolzmann stated she heard from a number of employees that they don't like the inclement weather policy. City Manager Fleming stated all employees and supervisors are informed of the policy each year and that all employees are allowed to take PLB if they can't come to work in a storm. Human Resources Director Hix noted this year the City created a new policy to help address some of those concerns. Councilmember Stolzmann stated she would like to see further discussion on the issue of a living wage. Mayor Muckle agreed it is important but it is not a topic on the 2016 work plan. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton noted he would like to discuss it further but there may not be time in 2016. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated if this is a priority for the 2018 budget, we can carve out some money and time to put towards it without a full study and then do detailed analysis in 2017. Mayor Muckle stated he and Mayor Pro Tem Lipton will work with staff to look for a place on the advanced agenda for time to have a discussion on a living wage.
