MEMORANDUM

TO: C. Seth Sumner, City Manager
FROM: Nina Edmonds, HR Director
DATE: 4/27/2022

SUBJECT: Pay class/Compensation changes for 2022-2023
We have two requests for modifying the pay scale for 2022-2023.

e We are requesting that the pay scale be modified to a minimum of pay class 4, making the entry
level hourly rate $15.416 for all departments. The Utility Worker position will be removed, with
Light Equipment Operator becoming the entry level position for Public Works. All other positions
in pay classes 2 and 3 will be moved into a pay class 4. This will include Animal Shelter Technician,
Park Assistant, Traffic Maintenance Worker, and Mower Operator.
e We are requesting that the pay scale be modified to reflect a 5% increase.
The increase will assist us in our efforts to maintain competitiveness in recruiting and retention across all
departments.

We are requesting a title and pay class change for the IT department. The request is to add the title of IT
Director to pay class 11 and to move Steven Croft to that new role. This move and title change will reflect
the added responsibility of supervision of employees and bring equity to the position with other
departments in the city.

The Community Development department has requested the following changes to the pay structure of
the department. We are requesting a title change from Building Inspector to Building Official. This position
is a pay class 8. Gene McConkey is currently in that position and will remain there. We are requesting the
addition of the title of Building Inspector as a pay class 7. The pay range for pay class 7 is $45,051.00-
$66,251.00. It is the intent of these changes to reflect more accurately the needs of the department in
the area of building inspections and transition employees as a part of succession planning in the
department.

We are requesting the addition of the position of Communications Coordinator. This position will be a pay
class 7. The pay range for pay class 7 is $45,051.00-S66,251.00.
