Supervisor (DB) Yes <br />At the October 15, 2013; Personnel Committee, the minutes reflect that the Committee was <br />concerned about authorizing pay increases for the non -union group; it was stated that the non -union <br />group is among the highest paid employees in the City. There are factors that should be considered <br />with regard to a decision not to authorize a COLA to non -union employees: 1) Most of the above <br />listed non -union positions are not eligible for overtime compensation and work a number of extra <br />hours, including night meetings; 2) Most of the non -union positions require advanced education; 3) <br />Most of the positions are already below the market when comparing 2013 data, and 4) considering <br />that LELS will be getting 2% COLA plus a 2% market adjustment in 2014 and AFSCME will be <br />getting 2% COLA plus 1% market adjustment in 2014, the wage scales show a narrowing margin. <br />Please see the attached graph documenting the market study. <br />Timeframe: <br />A case to authorize the non -union wages and health insurance contributions will be brought <br />forward at the December 10, 2013, regular City Council meeting to be adopted as part of the 2014 <br />budget. <br />Funding Source: <br />The funding required for the non -union COLA and health insurance contributions are included in <br />the 2014 preliminary budget and will be covered in detail as they related to the 2014 budget <br />discussion this evening. <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Colleen Lasher, Human Resources manager <br />Outcome: <br />Agreement on a contribution for health insurance for all employees, and a wage adjustment for <br />non -union employees. Discuss market comparisons. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Staff recommends moving forward with a 2% COLA and city health insurance contributions as listed in option C of <br />the attached. <br />Funding Source: <br />The funding required for the non -union COLA and health insurance contributions are included in the 2014. <br />Recommendation: <br />To authorize option C as listed on the attachment for non -union city health insurance contributions and to increase <br />the non -union wage scale by two percent (2%). <br />Action: <br />
