Summary

Human resources director Barb McIntyre proposed a new W-4 fire marshal classification and a restructured X pay plan for unrepresented employees, plus across-the-board pay adjustments for multiple employee groups; council asked clarifying questions.

Barb McIntyre, Lincoln’s human resources director, presented a request July 13 to create a new W-4 classification for a fire marshal and to amend pay schedules across multiple employee groups.

McIntyre explained the new W-4 classification reflects the position’s move to the fire department and that the city is updating classification and compensation accordingly. She also described a new X pay plan for unrepresented employees that aligns pay grades with represented counterparts, reducing steps per grade while preserving a 3.5% annual increase effective Sept. 1; she said the police union (P) will receive a 6% increase under the proposed adjustments.

Councilors asked staff to repeat details around the police increase and other group adjustments; McIntyre confirmed the figures and said the changes reflect negotiated or administrative adjustments across affected groups.
