She noted <br />that Mr. Gissiner was currently at Step 4 of a six -step compensation schedule. <br />Mayor Piercy solicited council questions and comments. <br />Mr. Brown asked about the average Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for the City's bargaining units. <br />City Manager Jon Ruiz indicated the Eugene Police Employees Association (EPEA) received a COLA of <br />2.1 percent; the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) received a <br />COLA of 2 percent; the International Association of Theater and Stage Employees (IATSE) received a <br />COLA of 2 percent; and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) received no COLA. Mr. <br />Brown concluded that the proposed COLA of 2.05 percent was generally in line with that received by <br />other City employees. <br />Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Brown, moved to approve a 2.05 percent COLA effective <br />July 1, 2011.
