Consultant presents classification and pay‑study; council accepts recommendations and funds implementation
Summary
John Mueller of the Goering Group presented a classification and compensation study recommending a new pay plan with wider ranges (about a 50% spread), average minimum increases of about 6%, and a first‑year implementation cost estimated roughly $330,000–$345,000 (including a 3% COLA and compression adjustments). Council accepted the findings and approved the related resolutions to implement the plan.
John Mueller of the Goering Group presented the city’s classification and compensation study, explaining methodology, market comparators and findings. Mueller said the new pay plan increases range spreads to about 50%, raises minimums on average by approximately 6%, and raises maximums on average about 15%; it also identified compression adjustments and employees below minimums that would require pay movement. “On average, the pay range minimums increased by about 6%,” Mueller said.
Mueller presented detailed cost estimates: general‑fund implementation (COLA + compression adjustments) was presented as $251,723 annually; the enterprise fund impact was listed as $92,145; combined first‑year impact was described in the discussion as roughly in the $330,000–$345,000 range depending on hires/promotions prior to implementation. Council moved to accept the findings and recommendations of the study and then approved the implementing resolutions and budget reallocation to support the rollout, with roll call votes recorded on the record.
