Study recommends 10-step pay scale for Saugatuck staff; manager proposes three additional paid holidays
Summary
A consultant presented a market comparison recommending a 10-step pay scale for city positions; Interim City Manager Cummins proposed adding three paid holidays to the staff schedule. No funding decisions were made at the workshop.
City staff reported at the July 17 workshop that they had met with Rahmberg, Stover, & Associates to evaluate Saugatuck's positions against comparable market rates. The consulting firm produced a proposed 10-step pay scale for each city position based on that market comparison.
Interim City Manager and Director of Planning, Zoning & Project Management Cummins told the council the firm had evaluated each position and that the city manager recommended implementing a 10-step pay schedule. Cummins also recommended adding three paid holidays to the staff paid-holiday schedule.
The workshop minutes do not record any formal vote, specific salary adjustments, implementation dates, or budget-line changes tied to the proposed scale or additional holidays. The minutes also do not specify how the proposed pay-scale adjustments would be funded or the fiscal impact on the city budget.
Councilmembers heard the presentation as part of the workshop packet; further review and budget analysis would be required before any pay changes or holiday schedule changes could be adopted.
