Council approves $80k compensation and classification study contract
Summary
Council approved a letter of understanding with Austin Peters Group to conduct a compensation and classification study for city staff at a cost just over $80,000; staff said the study would start in July and take about six to nine months.
The council approved a consulting agreement with the Austin Peters Group to conduct a classification and compensation study for the city's workforce at a cost staff described as "just a little bit over $80,000."
Mike told council the review is consistent with industry practice to examine compensation systems every three to four years; staff noted their last review was in 2023 and said the study could identify options such as moving to a more merit-based system if property-tax reform reduces city revenues. The consultant was described as familiar with local governments, with prior work referenced for a county and a neighboring city.
Council moved and approved the agreement by roll call. Staff said the study would begin in July and is expected to take approximately six to nine months; staff will report findings to council when the work is complete.
