CASE #3 1993 WAGES AND BENEFITS FOR EXEMPT EMPLOYEES By: Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator Background: Attached is a copy of my proposal for the Exempt personnel based on the similar package of the Negotiations Committee's discussions on the AFSCME bargaining unit contract for 1993. There would be an increase in payroll of 3.70%, with a minimum increase of 2.25% - with the difference in lump sum, and an increase in the monthly contribution for health and life insurance of $15.00 from $250 to $265 monthly. A meeting with the Exempt will have been held earlier on January 6, 1993 to discuss my proposal. At the time of this case preparation, this meeting had not yet occurred. Having not benefitted from input from this employee group, I am not aware of any concerns or comments that may arise (which will be forwarded to you). It is my position, however, that it is a reasonable position in this year to follow the AFSCME format. The Negotiations Committee has questioned the impact of such increases in future years. I have attached projections for 1994 and 1995 using the same chart. Also included are comparisons to midpoint and market for 1991, 1992 and the proposed 1993 to show that we are in fact heading in the right direction, in relation to market and midpoint. Recommendation: City Staff recommends adoption of the exempt package as presented, including the increase to $265.00 for the monthly contribution for health and life insurance. Committee Action: To approve/not approve adoption of the exempt package and increase the monthly health and life insurance contribution to $265.00 effective January 1, 1992. !1 Review Checklist: City Administrator Personnel Coordinator SCC: 01/06/93 Copies also distributed to: Police Chief Finance Officer City Engineer Public Works Supervisor Sergeant Senior Accountant Recording Secretary
