Resolution
ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2226. A resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, approving, adopting, and ratifying a cap on the maximum salary adjustment increase in implementing Resolution No. 2223; superseding any conflicting provisions of existing regulations, policies, or procedures; providing for severability; and setting an effective date. (Kay Marion Macuil, City Attorney)
SUMMARY:
On July 13, 2022, City Council approved a salary adjustment to update the pay grades compensation schedules.
The experts at CPS HR created recommendations for the upgrade. However, the city could not implement the recommendations one hundred percent (100%) due to budgetary constraints.
How the salary adjustment from Resolution No. 2223 works: The salary adjustment is NOT an increase across the board; instead, it considers time in position and pay rates in the new pay grade schedule.
Resolution No. 2226 makes explicit that for purposes of calculating this salary adjustment, appropriate pay grades to the contracted services will be assigned, and the Personnel Policy on temporary positions will also apply to temporarily contracted employees.

How the salary adjustment from Resolution No. 2223 works: The salary adjustment is NOT an increase across the board; instead, it considers time in position and pay rates in the new pay grade schedule.
- Probationary and recently-promoted employees: Their salary only adjusts if needed to meet the recommended minimum rate of their respective grades.
- Employees reclassified within the last six (6) months: Their salary adjusts only if needed to meet the recommended minimum rate of their respective grade.
- Employees who have completed more than one (1) year and their pay rate is higher than the recommended rate: Their salary adjusts at a 1.5% increase.
- Employees who have completed more than one (1) year and not in the above categories: Their salary adjusts between 2% to 12% depending upon their pay grade, time in position, and the recommended adjustment.
Resolution No. 2226 makes explicit that for purposes of calculating this salary adjustment, appropriate pay grades to the contracted services will be assigned, and the Personnel Policy on temporary positions will also apply to temporarily contracted employees.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE TO APPROVE, ADOPT AND RATIFY RESOLUTION NO. 2226.
