e Mr. MacDonald asked how small businesses could be incorporated as comparators in the City's surveys of private sector compensation. Ms. Norris pointed out that information from organizations or companies with fewer than 150 employees is not usable, because their job descriptions differ too greatly from the City's. Ms. Ehrman stated that public dissatisfaction with compensation policies must be taken seriously, since the public is the City government's customer. Mr. Boles added that either the council should become more competent to handle management issues, or should refrain from doing so and leave them to the City Manager. Mr. Green replied that the council should deal with some management issues, but should decide more carefully which issues to address, based on need, and should focus more specifically on them. The council agreed to delay further consideration of the matter. III. COUNCIL WORK PLAN REVIEW Mr. MacDonald stated that State transportation policy is languishing, and expressed frustration that the council is having too little input on it. Mr. Boles replied that some local transportation matters are now being handled by the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC), whose discussions are becoming more substantive. The Transportation Rule Implementation Program (TRIP) is being addressed through the Central Area Transportation Study (CATS), he added. Mr. e Gleason stated that since this is the first year of State transportation plan- ning under the new Federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), the State is behind schedule; thus, the City has time to have input. Mr. MacDonald requested that the council be kept more informed on transporta- tion matters, since transportation is one of the council's top five priori- ties. Mr. Boles agreed. The meeting adjourned at 7:22 p.m. RespectfUll~ ~ - Micheal Gleason City Manager (Recorded by Christina Cowger) cc53022.062 ., e MINUTES--City Council Work Session June 22, 1992 Page 4 5:30 p.m.
