Consensus was to remove Case #6: Consider Possible Disciplinary Action from the Personnel Committee Agenda. Consensus was to approve the agenda as amended. COMMITTEE BUSINESS Case #1: 1996 Exempt Wages City Administrator Schroeder stated that the case relating to the Exempt Wages was tabled at the July 9, 1996 Per,qonnel Committee meeting because additional information was requested. That information was on performance reviews, 1995 gross wages of all staff, and consideration of a · ~ ........ n market analys~s o~ the Sergeant pos~non, ~ncluding Captmn and L~eutenant posmo s. In the meantime, the ~996 Stanton wage study for all Metro Area cities was received. He stated he is recommending tho same wages with the exception of the City Engineer's position· This position fares less well with the market comparison than any other position. It is significantly lower and he felt that additional compensation was warranted. Mayor Hardin statext he does not like the idea that we are dealing with the Exempt as a group. He felt their increases should be based on a performance evaluation - and dealt with individually. Not all the employees have a current performance appraisal on file; none are current as of July or August of this year. Administrative Services Manager Waite Smith noted that the appraisal that is dated November of last year is because Diana Lund had her six month review in November and the appraisals were asked for as of January. Finance Officer Hart felt it was not necessary to do another one at that Personnel Committee/August 13, 1996 Page 1 of 4
