Item F1
#9317 - Consideration of Approving Salary Ordinance
Thursday, August 25, 2011
Special Meeting
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Brenda Sutherland
City of Grand Island City Council
Council Agenda Memo
From: Brenda Sutherland, Human Resources Director
Meeting: August 25, 2011
Subject: Approval of Salary Ordinance No. 9317
Item #’s: F -1
Presenter(s): Brenda Sutherland, Human Resources Director
Background
Wages for City emp loyees are presented to the City Council for approval in the form of a
salary ordinance. An ordinance is being brought forward for Council consideration to
support the salary table adjustment for non-union employees for the 2011/2012 fiscal
year of 1.75%. In addition position removal and additions as well as positions that are
being renamed will be addressed. Information presented in this Ordinance with the
exception of the Regulatory Environmental Manager was presented to Council at the
August 16, 2011 Council meeting and passed by resolution # 2011-213.
Discussion
This Ordinance will remove the positions of Fleet Services Superintendent, Fleet Services
Supervisor and Fleet Services Inventory Clerk as the result of a reduction in force in that
division. It will add the position Fleet Services Shop Foreman with an hourly wage of
$19.5462 - $27.2283 and a Public Works Engineer with an hourly rate of $25.2900 -
$35.5750. Three departments have requested a title change or reclassification. The
Human Resources Department is recommending a reclassification that will change the
titles of two Human Resource Specialists to Human Resources Recruiter and Human
Resources Benefits & Risk Management Coordinator. One Human Resources Specialist
will remain under the current title. There will be no salary adjustment to the Recruiter or
Benefits and Risk Management Coordinator other than the annual adjustment being
proposed. The Specialist position will be changed to an hourly rate of $16.2210 -
$22.8215 per hour which represents a reduction in salary of approximately 11% under
current wages.
The next changes are in the Public Works Department. The Streets Supervisor position
will be renamed as a Streets Foreman and the Solid Waste Sr. Equipment Operators will
be renamed Solid Waste Foreman. Foreman is a standard term used in the industry for the
first line of management that reports directly to the Superintendent in the Public Works
arena. That is the current chain of command in this department and for consistency in
Public Works, the foreman title is appropriate. There will be no salary adjustment to the
above named Foreman positions other than the annual adjustment being proposed.
Lastly, the Utilities Department is requesting that The Regulatory and Environmental
Specialist positions be renamed Regulatory and Environmental Manager. The Regulatory
and Environmental Specialist position was created in 2003 for assistance to the
professional staff of the Utilities Department in maintaining environmental/regulatory
compliance of operations and new projects. As it was a new position, clear definition of
duties was not known, and as these very often depends on the caliber of the job pool, it
was decided to start on the lower end of the expectation spectrum and see how the job
developed over time. In the history of the position, we have actually had two very
capable employees and they have been taken on assignments which were probably above
those required in the job description. Expansion of duties to include supervision of
employees and management of Department operations and projects, as well as being a
direct report to the Utilities Director, deem this position to be suitable for Manager title.
The Manager title is also a requirement by the EPA for eligibility to be a Designated
Representative/Alternate Designated Representative in the Acid Rain Program, which is
recommended by the Department for this position because of their familiarity and direct
oversight with this program. This was presented to Council at the April 26, 2011 meeting
by Tim Luchsinger and adopted per resolution #2011 – 97.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1. Move to approve
2. Refer the issue to a Committee
3. Postpone the issue to future date
4. Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
I recommend the approval of the aforementioned changes in the proposed Salary
Ordinance No. 9317
Sample Motion
Move to approve the proposed changes outlined in Salary Ordinance No. 9317.
