Resolution
ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 1133. A Resolution of the Mayor and Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, declaring as a public record the document filed with the City Clerk and entitled "City of San Luis Position Classification and FY 2016 Salary Plan"; adopting the position classification plan portion of said document and directing preparation of a proposed salary plan for fiscal year 2016-2017. (Tadeo A. De La Hoya, Interim City Manager and Public Sector Personnel Consultants)
SUMMARY:
Background
The City budgeted for and contracted an experienced, independent firm called Public Sector Personnel Consultants to perform a position classification and compensation study. The recommended plan is attached (City of San Luis Position Classification and FY 2016 Salary Plan). The purpose of the study is to update the position classification and compensation to be current and in step with the greater region around the City of San Luis, Arizona.
Summary of the data used for the Study
Employees participated in this study by describing what they actually do by filling out individual surveys called Position Analysis Questionnaires. (A blank questionnaire is attached). The study obtained comparisons for both the positions and the compensation scales from:
Bullhead, Arizona
Douglas, Arizona
Kingman, Arizona
Marana, Arizona
Nogales, Arizona
Sahuarita, Arizona
Yuma (the City), Arizona
Yuma County, Arizona
Imperial County, California
El Centro, California
More detail about what went into the study is a attached in the recommended Position Classification and Salary Plan and a representative from Public Sector Personnel Consultants will be available to answer any questions the Mayor and Council may have.
Study Results
The core findings are that the City's position classification and associated pay scales need to be adjusted to be both current and in line with the region. Based upon the employees' descriptions of what they actually do, a few job titles were changed to fit the employees' descriptions. The salary plan exceeds the amount anticipated to be needed when the budget was passed for the current fiscal year. The Appendix to the Study shows the position classification and the pay scales at 100% implementation and in the next part of the Appendix the position classification the pay scales 95% implementation. The Consultants for this study recommend implementation be done globally even if budget constraints mean that it be implemented at less than 100%.
Options
It is possible for Council to adopt just the position classification portion at this time. The recommended salary plan far exceeds the amount anticipated and budgeted for it for the current 2015-2016 fiscal year. A suggested resolution has been provided if Council chooses to adopt only the position classification portion of the plan at this time.
As to the salary plan portion, the suggested resolution directs the Interim City Manager to prepare a proposed salary plan or plans for submission to City Council as part of the budget process for fiscal year 2016-2017.
The resolution also declares the attached documents a public record.
