Summary

A member of the public criticized the city's 2014 and 2022 classification and compensation studies by the Management Advisory Group (MAG), alleging suspended policies and insufficient oversight and urging council members to review the 2022 report.

Rick Day, a Third District resident, used the public-comment period at the March 11 work session to criticize the city’s classification and compensation work done through studies by the Management Advisory Group (MAG) in 2014 and 2022.

Day told the council that policies in place after the 2014 study were suspended during the 2022 MAG review and asserted the 2022 study was run under direction from city HR and administration with an outside consultant whose lead claimed to be able to do the work "in his sleep." He said council members who did not participate in the 2022 discussions should review the study to understand the issues Day raised.

The transcript records Day’s remarks and his intention to raise future, related topics; the council did not take action in response during the work session.
