EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
For City Council consideration and approval is a recommendation to approve 2006 wage ranges for all
non -union positions. The proposed compensation is based on three different factors:
1. Assuring Pay Complies with Pay Equity Requirements One of the main factors in determining public
sector compensation is assuring internal equity of pay by performing a pay equity analysis. The basic
premise behind pay equity is that positions which have the same relative value in terms of points
should be compensated similarly.
2. Assuring Pay is Competitive with Comparable Market Assurance that pay is competitive with the
market is achieved by reviewing the Stanton Group Salary Survey and adjusting compensation for
positions below the average for other Stanton VI cities (metro area cities with a population between
10,000 and 25,000).
3. Market Rate Adjustment The final step in estabhslung a proposed compensation rate for non union
positions is to consider a range adjustment (more commonly referred to as COLA). This adjustment
provides for an increase that is comparable to the increases allocated to other sectors of the labor
market The range adjustment is smnlar to what other municipalities are offering for 2006.
Implementation of equitable pay ranges continues to be a performance goal of the City Administrator. He
continues the past practice of negotiating ranges to be the average of the Stanton Group VI cities and
evaluating internal equity for comparable worth requirements.
If approved, 2006 salary ranges would be as follows:
City Administrator $85,295 $107,075
Police Chief $74,345 $93,484
Community Development Director $72,672 $90,839
