MAYOR ARREDIA DECLARED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WAS NOW
RESOLVED INTO A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION Alderman Sayad, Chair
Moved by Christiansen, seconded by Murphy, to recommend
to the City Council approval of the January 17, 2005 -
Warrant Register, in the total amount of $3,790 ,443.66;
and further recommend that Resolution R-8-05 be adopted
at appropriate time this evening. Mot i on dec l ared
carried.
Director of Human Resources Bajor stated that the Staff
is recommending that the City initiate a request for
proposals (RFP) on a comprehensive classification and
compensation plan study, and adopt a compensation
philosophy and strategy; the last comprehensive
classification and compensation plan study was conducted
in the last 1980' s -. The Hay Report, and another more
limited study was then conducted in the mid-1990's -The
Par Group, however there was no attempt to incorporate
the results of the two (2) studies into a comprehensive
plan nor was there any consistent maintenance of the
plan.
Director of Human Resources Baj or made a PowerPoint
presentation outlining what the current
situation/problems are; proposed compensation
philosophy; focus of the plan study; study time line and
projected implementation; $25,000 has been budgeted for
this study.
Alderman Brookman made a lengthy statement about her
displeasure with the City's compensation process; she
gave the example of an employee whose salary was
increased just before that person retired.
Alderman Sayad called Alderman Brookman out of order for
not addressing the only issue before the Committee of
the Whole at this time -whether the City should request
proposals for a classification and compensation plan
study.
Alderman Brookman appealed the ruling of the Chair. The
aldermen upheld the ruling of the Chair. Alderman
Brookman voted no.
Alderman Murphy stated her concern that the
specifications should include a review process that
would ensure that an employee is actually doing the job
as outlined in the job description.
A discussion was held on aspects of the study and its
implementation.
Moved by Sayad, seconded by Argus, to recommend to the
City Council that Staff be authorized to review the
comments and concerns of the aldermen and modify the
proposed request for proposals (RFP) for the
Classification and Compensation Plan Study for
consideration on February 7, 2005. Motion declared
carried.
