Non-represented employees received a 3.2% cost of living <br />adjustment on July 1, 2007. <br /> <br />In addition, the City Council will review the Police Auditor’s performance after twelve months <br />of service, which will be in October 2007. Thereafter, the City Council will review and evaluate <br />the Police Auditor’s performance and salary annually. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />The council-adopted Financial Management Goals and Policies item F.5. states: “Consistent <br />with available resources, employee compensation will be market based, comparable to public <br />and private sector compensation paid in the relevant recruiting area.” The policy narrative <br />additionally explains that positions are considered to be “within market” when the rate is within <br /> <br />a band five percent above or below the median rate paid by surveyed agencies. <br /> <br /> <br />Per the Police Auditor’s employment contract section 6.1: <br />“The City Council will consider cost of living adjustments for Beamud at the same time that <br />other exempt employees receive cost of living adjustments. Cost of living adjustments for <br />the Police Auditor must be approved by the City Council and, if approved, the assigned <br />Police Auditor range will be adjusted accordingly.” <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />A. Adjust the Police Auditor’s compensation by a cost of living adjustment of 3.2%, which is <br /> equal to the increase that was given to non-represented employees effective July 1, 2007. <br /> <br />B.Make no adjustment to the Police Auditor’s compensation. <br /> <br />L:\CMO\2007 Council Agendas\M070709\S0707092C.doc <br /> <br />
