Review compensation market data on the City Manager position. <br />2. Review and agree on a list of community stakeholders to invite to be involved in the selection <br /> process for the City Manager in early February. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Compensation Item: <br />The City Council annually reviews the City Manager’s compensation and determines what level of <br />adjustment is appropriate. In the past, the City Manager salary was set as a range with six merit steps. <br />As of July 1, 2007, that range was $113,568 to $149,323. As the Mayor and the City Council recently <br />approached the recruitment and selection process for the City Manager position, a decision was made to <br />include a statement in the recruitment brochure indicating, “The salary range for the position is open, <br />with hiring dependent upon experience and qualifications.” The City Council then directed staff to <br />update a market analysis for the position for a discussion at the December 18 work session. Other <br />agenda items on the December 18 schedule precluded the compensation discussion and it was <br />subsequently moved to January 9, 2008. <br /> <br />Market data is included in Attachment A. The data includes: <br />1) A comparison of city manager total compensation from major Oregon cities. <br />2) A comparison of city manager total compensation from selected cities in western states. This list <br /> provides information from cities that represent the competitive market for city manager prospects. <br />3) A comparison of local public CEO total compensation. While not all are city managers, this list <br /> represents the local public sector peer group to our city manager. <br /> <br />Community Stakeholders Item: <br />One of the three panels that will be components of the City Manager selection process will involve a <br />group of community stakeholders. A list of possible stakeholders is included as Attachment B. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />The City Council adopted Financial Management Goals and Policies item F.5. states: “Consistent with <br />available resources, employee compensation will be market-based, comparable to public and private <br />L:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M080109\S080109B.doc <br /> <br />
