At the last work session city staff was directed to provide further information and justification for the
continuation of car allowances. After surveying cities comparable in size and running a new pay equity report, I
find that it is appropriate for these positions to continue having this benefit. If this benefit is removed, our
department head salaries will fall below the market; and therefore,this needs to be looked at very carefully.
Furthermore, some of these positions are clearly below the market wage and consideration should be given to
bringing these wages up to appropriate levels. In 1994 when Labor Relations, Inc. conducted a compensation
study and in 1997 when a compensation study was conducted in house, car allowances were included in both of
these studies and provided to the City Council for their review.
