CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: 2024 Employee Compensation Appropriation Authority
RECOMMENDATION:
2024-1726
The Mayor's recommendation is for the City Council to obligate appropriated funds to provide for the
compensation package outlined below.
BACKGROUND:
As was discussed during the 2024 Budget process, the Mayor is recommending a compensation package to
the City Council based on the Non -uniformed Staff Pay and Benefits Study recently completed and step
increases for eligible sworn personnel under the step pay plan.
Sufficient amounts for this plan were included in the 2024 Budget and all funds have the capacity to afford
these salary increases.
DISCUSSION:
Based on these results, the Mayor is recommending the following compensation package to the Council:
• The plan would provide across the board increases to all Non -uniformed personnel effective
04/01/2024. The increases will be based on the 6.34% movement to the structure approved with the
2024 Pay and Benefits Study.
• The plan would provide for a one-step increase for eligible Police and Fire uniformed personnel
beginning 04/01/2024.
• Uniformed personnel to be eligible to receive a step increase must have completed at least one year of
service, which means they must have been paid on Pay Period #8, 2023 which equals a start date
before 04/17/2023.
• The 2024 cost of this plan is projected to be $1,463,000 in the General Fund. The 2024 cost for all
funds would be $2,326,000.
• The ongoing cost of the plan in future years will be $2,001,000 for the General Fund and $3,183,000 for
all funds.
