Summary

After a multi‑month review, the council approved a Transforms Consulting phase‑4 classification and compensation package updating salary tables and grade levels for exempt, nonexempt and part‑time employees; council approved a stipend for interim recreation supervisors and adopted recommended executive salary ranges.

The City Council voted Jan. 9 to adopt employment classification and compensation changes derived from a multi‑month Transforms Consulting analysis intended to align pay and job classifications across the city.

Drew Schneider, director of administrative services, summarized the phase‑4 report and proposed salary tables and said the study included more than 148 staff interviews and an external equity analysis. Schneider outlined recommended monthly ranges for executive positions: assistant and deputy city manager at grade 68 with proposed ranges beginning near $13,526; department directors at grade 74 with ranges beginning near $15,577; and the senior city manager at grade 79 with a proposed monthly range of $17,140 to $21,234.

Schneider also said recreation service coordinators temporarily assigned supervisory responsibilities will receive a $500 monthly stipend until additional supervisors are appointed. Councilmembers thanked staff and the consultant and approved the resolutions brought forward by staff.

A motion to approve the resolutions was made by Councilmember Barrows and seconded by Councilmember Yokoyama; the motion passed on a recorded 4–0 vote.
