City of Shako pee MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator SUBJECT: Adoption of 2009 Pay Plans for Non-Union Employees DATE: December 11, 2008 Introduction The City Council is asked to adopt the 2009 pay plans for the City's non-union employees. Background For many years, the City has provided its employees with an annual cost of living wage increase equaling three percent. When the City began its 2009 budgeting process this past summer it appeared that a three percent increase would once again be reasonable. However, economic circumstances have clearly changed in recent months and they appear unlikely to improve, or even stabilize, anytime soon. A reduction of 4.75 staff positions was needed in order to balance the City's 2009 operating budget and signs point to the budgeting process for 2010 being even more difficult. Additionally, with the rising foreclosure rate, the City may see a reduction of the property taxes that it can actually collect in 2009. The projected budget shortfall facing the State also has the potential to negatively impact the City's financial situation. As a result of these changing circumstances, we are recommending that the Council scale back the traditional cost ofliving adjustment for full-time non-union employees to two percent for 2009, and that the pay plans for part-time, temporary and seasonal employees, firefighters and elected officials remain unchanged for 2009. The vast majority of other metro-area cities appear to be staying with three percent increases in 2009. However, many of those increases are the result of multi-year labor contracts entered into before the full extent of the current economic downturn was known. And outside the public sector, wage freezes or cuts and in many cases, layoffs, appear to be the norm. Given the overall picture at this time, we believe a 2 percent cost ofliving adjustment for 2009 is a reasonable compromise. It reflects the fact that the upcoming year will not be "business as usual" and puts the City in a slightly better starting position for the challenges of 201 O. At the same time, it reflects the City's need to keep a long-term focus. If our wages fall notably behind those offered by other cities, we are likely to pay more later in order to catch up or experience difficulty attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve the residents of this City. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council authorize a 2 percent cost ofliving increase for full- time, non-union employees and that the existing pay plans for part-time, temporary and seasonal employees, firefighters and elected officials be extended through 2009 with no changes. Budget Impact A two-percent wage increase for all full-time employees is estimated to cost $190,000 in 2009. The non-union employees that are the subject of this particular action make up approximately half of the City's full-time employees. This amount can be accommodated within the 2009 operating budget scheduled for adoption earlier on the agenda. Relationship to Vision This agenda item is related to Goal E: Financially Strong and Goal D: Vibrant, Resilient and Stable. Requested Action If the Council concurs, it should offer ...
