MINUTES – Eugene City Council Work Session July 10, 2019 Page 3 MOTION TO AMEND: Councilor Clark, seconded by Councilor Yeh, moved to amend to change three percent to five percent plus an additional five days of vacation. o Councilor Taylor – felt complex motions should always be split into parts so thatcouncilors can individually vote for the parts they wanted. o Councilor Clark – said he planned to vote against the motion to divide because he feltthere was enough of a consensus at the table that the main motion would pass asamended. MOTION TO AMEND AND VOTE: Councilor Semple, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to divide the motion into three parts: (1) five percent merit increase, (2) the additional five vacation days, and (3) changing the contract so that merit pay was linked to the average performance score of councilors. FAILED: 2:5, Councilors Pryor, Evans, Zelenka, Yeh, and Clark opposed. o Councilor Taylor – disapproved of tying the merit increase to the performance evaluation. o Councilor Semple – reiterated that changing the contract regarding the merit pay was asurprise and would have liked more time to hear from constituents about it; preferred togive the Police Auditor what he asked for and not any more than that. o Councilor Taylor – said she would have preferred a work session to discuss any changesto the contract. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND: PASSED: 5:2, Councilors Semple and Taylor opposed. VOTE ON MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED (including friendly amendments): Councilor Semple, seconded by Councilor Zelenka, moved that council award the Police Auditor a five percent merit salary increase as well as five additional vacation days effective July 7, 2019, and authorize the Council President to execute a contract consistent with this motion, and that amends the contract to establish a merit increase structure identical to the city manager’s moving forward and that explicitly excludes the mayor’s ranking in the average score.
