Consultant outlines city compensation study; council told about market-based 50th-percentile approach
Summary
MGT project manager Rachel King presented a city compensation study using 50th-percentile market data to propose minimum and maximum salary ranges and offered detailed tables and appendices; council asked for consolidated comparison tables and to coordinate further during budget discussions.
Rachel King, project manager with MGT, presented a brief overview of a city compensation study at the Feb. 10 Committee of the Whole meeting.
King said the study uses market data at the 50th percentile (median) to develop proposed salary ranges that balance internal equity with market competitiveness. She explained the presented tables show current pay, market minimums and maximums and the consultant’s proposed minimum and maximum ranges, and she offered to provide consolidated tables that compare current salaries, market medians and proposed ranges in one view.
Council members asked for clarification about the 50th-percentile metric and whether the study shows where Lincoln’s current salaries fall relative to that median; King walked through an example and said the project’s appendix includes more detailed market data and that staff can provide the combined comparison tables. The mayor and staff asked that council members bring questions into budget discussions and to coordinate further with Steve and administration as needed.
The council thanked King for presenting and agreed to follow up in budget meetings.
