Kuna City Council approved Resolution R91‑2025 to implement step‑and‑grade pay adjustments for select departments; HR staff explained differences stem from required certifications, hours, and job duties across departments.
The Kuna City Council voted to adopt Resolution R91‑2025, implementing step‑and‑grade adjustments for certain city departments.
During discussion, council members asked why the policy applied to departments such as parks & recreation and fleet rather than a single city‑wide grade structure. Justine Edinger, HR generalist, explained the policy reflects differences in required certifications, hours of service and specific job duties across departments (for example, water and sewer staff require distinct operator certifications). She said the city now uses a wage‑comparison system that lets HR check market ranges without conducting a full wage study every time a vacancy arises.
Councilmember motioned and the council voted to adopt R91‑2025; the motion carried with council 'ayes.' The resolution will be implemented through HR and applied where certification‑based pay adjustments are warranted.
