I i I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CASE .ERSONNEL - LESTEE WIRZ COMPENSATION: As you recall, at your meeting on November 26, 198'5, a motion was passed to approve a 15% gross salary increase for City Assessor Wirz to be retroactive to October 1, 1985 and to continue through December 31, 1985. This actiOn has become a matter of issue with the AFSCME union representative and therefore, the Council should consider rescinding your November 26, 1985 action. No payment has been made to Mr. Wirz at this time pursuant to your November 26, 1985 motion. As background information, you should know that both the Building Inspector and City Assessor positions are in the AFSCME union. A union negotiation meeting was held on December 4, 1985 at which time the union representative brought up this subject. The union contends that we have moved Mr. Wirz from his assessor classification to the building inspection classification and therefore, whenever we move an individual from one classification to another, the union believes there should be a 15% pay rais%as in the case of Mr. Wirz. I contend that we did not change Mr. Wirz' job classification; that he always has been Assessor/Building Inspector. In addition, the union representative brought out that we are not to negotiate salary with individual employees, as the union is the appropriate bargaining unit. He. is correct on that subject. I therefore recommend that the Council rescihd its November Z6, 1985 action wherein you granted Mr. Wirz a 15% gross salary increase, and that the matter be referred to the bargaining union for negotiation. In addition, ! will be discussing this subject with the Personnel Committee at a closed meeting to receive instruction as to how the Personnel Committee would like to handle this subject in relation to the other union contract negotiations. Council Action: Your action will be to rescind/approve the Council action on November ~.6, 1985 relating to this subject. The following proposed motion is hereby submitted for your considerati~:~~ ,~ the Council action on November 26, 1985 wherein the Council voted to approve a 15% gross salary increase to City Assessor Wirz to be retroactive to October 1, 1985 and continue through December 31, 1985.
