AGENDA ITEM NO. 13
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Homer L. Bludau, City Manager
DATE: June 12, 2001
SUBJECT: Classification and Compensation Study for Key and
Management Positions
RECOMMENDATION
1. Appropriate $75,000 from unallocated General Fund Revenue to Account
#0410 -8080 (Professional and Technical Services).
2. Enter into contract with the National Center for Educational Research and
Technology (NCERT) for the development of a comprehensive
classification and compensation plan for all Key and Management
positions (60) for a contract price of $75,000.
The City's Key and Management employees number 60, this group is composed
of mostly upper level management, including department directors, which are
not affiliated with an employee bargaining unit. Some positions are included
with this group based on the confidential nature of their positions. Some
positions are currently in this group that probably better belong within an
existing bargaining unit or a new unrepresented group.
The Key and Management Group has had a checkered past in terms of how this
group has been treated regarding salary and benefit issues. In reality, there
appear to be few guidelines for managing a salary structure, and those that exist
are confusing. This has caused inequities among Key and Management positions
and the internal salary relationships they are a part of.

Classification and Compensation Study
Page 2
The best way of dealing with these issues is to hire a consultant to perform a
Class and Compensation study for this group. A classification and compensation
study would result in the development of a comprehensive classification plan for
all Key and Management positions, internal salary alignment of classes, the
allocation of each position to an appropriate class and series, an external base
salary, and the preparation of class specifications that reflect the current duties
and responsibilities of each class. This study is expected to take twelve weeks to
complete. It is a complex study that can't be accomplished internally with the
personnel resources that we have.
A classification and compensation study is important for it will provide the
framework for the salary relationships throughout the organization.. It will
reconstitute Key and Management as a smaller group that has clear salary
ranges and guidelines for movement within those ranges. It currently poses the
largest problem area of any group within the organization in treating employees.
For example, some of the Key and Management-positions currently have no
ranges and position recruitment poses a real dilemma for establishing salaries
and how those employees are treated salary-wise after they have been hired.
