Administrative Services Director Lasher said that is correct. She stated that three year contracts work well administratively; however, there is a lot that comes over the three years that needs to be discussed. City Administrator Hagen noted that this also sets the expectation of when these reviews will happen. Councilmember Musgrove asked if an employee is in a certain classification and in the middle of a contract, their job duties change and they are reclassified, if this would be allowed mid-contract. Administrative Services Director Lasher said this is allowed and noted this section does not really relate to reclassifications. Councilmember Howell asked how many times a market rate adjustment has gone above 5% in the past few years. Administrative Services Director Lasher said it happened once and went to the Council for approval. Councilmember Howell said she would like the Council to still see any adjustments that are greater than 5%. Councilmember Musgrove asked if there is a market rate adjustment done, if this employee would get two raises in one year, one for the market rate adjustment and one for their anniversary date. Administrative Services Director Lasher said that this could potentially be the case but would not apply in all circumstances. Mayor Kuzma agreed that he would like anything above a 5% market rate adjustment to come before the Council for approval. Councilmember Musgrove agreed. Councilmember Howell asked about stillbirths under the leave policy. Administrative Services Director Lasher explained that stillbirths are addressed in FMLA, which the City has honored in the past. She suggested that they pause this discussion and begin discussing severance pay and the changes in Section 6 at the next Work Session. The consensus of the Council was to direct Staff to make the proposed changes to the personnel policy based on Council's feedback. 2.02: Discuss Legislative Advocacy City Council Work Session /February 26, 2024 Page 7 of 9
