BACKGROUND: In 2016, after a professional services selection was completed, City Council approved a contract with Johanson Group, now JER HR Group, to conduct a classification, compensation, and benefits study. Following the implementation of the classification study, the 2017 City Council Ad Hoc Pay Plan Committee was formed to make recommendations to the City Council regarding new criteria for future pay and benefits studies. The Committee consisted of Council Members, Administration, and one representative from each employee group — Fire, Police, and Merit. This Committee made the following recommendations to the City Council regarding Fire and Police pay and benefits surveys: 1. Survey data sources — Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, Jonesboro and Lawrence, KS; 2. Survey frequency — conduct annual studies, alternating between Fire and Police (odd years) and Merit (even years); 3. Survey five benefits provided by the data sources — retirement, medical/dental, time off in excess of statutory requirements, certification pay, and longevity pay. On February 6, 2018, the City Council approved these recommendations along with a change order to the Johanson Group contract to conduct annual pay and benefits studies. In 2021, through RFP, Johanson Group, now JER HR Group, was selected as the City's compensation consultant to perform ongoing surveys, job grading and other compensation consulting services. DISCUSSION: The JER HR Group 2025 Fire and Police Pay and Benefits Study Report follows the staff memo. The Final Report provides a summary of the study, including a discussion of benefits. The study recommendations from JER HR Group are listed below: • Adoption of the 2025 Proposed Fire and Police Pay Step Plans • Continuation of current competitive employee benefits for Fire and Police uniformed personnel to meet Mailing address: 113 W.

Sandsmark, CCP, CSCP, SPHR SHRM-SCPS Senior Consultant with the JER HR Group Subject: 2025 Fire and Police Pay and Benefits Study Final Report JER HR Group is pleased to provide this Fire and Police Pay and Benefits study report. It is based on an analysis of fire and police uniformed pay range comparisons with competing municipalities in the City's labor market (Bentonville, Rogers, and Springdale) and two benchmark cities (Jonesboro, AR and Lawrence, KS) located outside the Northwest Arkansas region. This memo narrative summarizes the 2025 Fire and Police Pay and Benefits Study findings and recommendations. Background Information Following the completion of the 2017 pay and benefits study in the Spring of 2017, former Mayor Jordan formed the 2017 City Council Ad Hoc Pay Plan Committee to research and provide acceptable direction and parameters for future uniformed personnel and merit staff pay and benefits studies. The Committee met on several occasions and finalized their work in November 2017 with the following study directives that apply to the 2025 Fire and Police Pay and Benefits Study. • Total Rewards: Compensation & Benefits Philosophy — Competitive base pay to attract applicants within the City's market recruitment area and retain competent employees by leading market recruitment area with total rewards (base pay and benefit) offerings • Study Market Cities: Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, Jonesboro and Lawrence, KS • Evaluation of Employee Benefit Options —five major prevalent benefits: Retirement Plan, Medical/Dental, Time Off Plans, Certificate Pay, and Longevity Pay • Frequency of surveys — Every other year (Civil Service -odd years and Merit -even years) • Financially sustainable structures for step & merit pay plans • Apples to apples comparison on step and merit range mins and maxes Discussion of the Fire and Police Pay Plans The Fire and Police Pay Plans are based on the actual market pay average minimums and actual blended market pay average maximums for each rank. Pay step plan 2025 minimums and maximums for Springdale, Jonesboro and Lawrence and merit pay plan 2025 minimums and blended maximums for Bentonville and Rogers were compared to Fayetteville's 2023 Fire and Police pay step range minimums and maximums for each rank. Position pay step ranges for the City of Lawrence's Fire Captain and Police Sergeant were modified to provide better position and pay range comparison matches for the City of Fayetteville's ranks of Fire Captain and Police Sergeant. All of the pay step plans for Springdale, Jonesboro, and Lawrence and the pay range plans for Bentonville and Rogers are based on 2025 (current) pay plans. The position matches and blended maximums were used to create apple to apple comparisons for market study average pay step and merit range minimums and maximums. Position match methodology and blended minimum and maximum methodology appear in Appendices Two, Three and Four). The overall market average pay range minimums and blended maximums for the Fire and Police positions are noted on the one -page document in Appendix One. Pay range minimums and maximums for the cities of Jonesboro and Lawrence were adjusted by the Geographical Compensation Differential (GCD) multiplier as noted on Appendix One. The GCD table for all the study cities appears in Appendix Nine. For all fire ranks and the Police Officer rank, the proposed pay step plan was created by applying the variances from both the minimum and maximum to the current step pay plan charts. For the ranks Police Corporal, Police Sergeant and Police Lieutenant, the proposed pay step plan was created by applying the variance from the minimum to both the minimum and maximum of the current step pay plan charts in order to maintain a consistent range spread in the proposed pay step plan. The individual steps were then created by calculating the dollar amount to develop equitable increases from the minimum to the maximum step. The 2025 Fire pay plan drafts based on implementing the identified market study variances are noted in Appendices 10 and 11. The 2025 Police pay plan draft is Appendix 12 and represents staff's recommendation as referenced above. Discussion of the External Prevalent Market Benefits Study Retirement Plan The City of Fayetteville has adopted and continues to fund the Arkansas LOPFI 2 retirement plan for its uniformed fire and police personnel. The 2025 Arkansas market pay study cities offer and fund LOPFI 1 retirement plans for their fire and police personnel. The City of Fayetteville contributed 26.50% of covered pay for fire and police uniformed personnel during the 2024 calendar year. The market pay study cities inclusive of Lawrence averaged 23.44% in contributions as a percentage of base pay for fire and police uniformed personnel. The City of Fayetteville's funding of the LOPFI 2 retirement plan exceeds the market for the Arkansas study municipalities and City of Lawrence. Medical and Dental Plans The City of Fayetteville offers medical health insurance plan options, and the most popular plan is the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with Health Savings Account contributions made by the City. The City of Fayetteville's cost share of the HDHP insurance monthly premiums and annual HSA contributions for its employees are better than the market average. Time Off Plans For Police Sick Days and Fire Sick Shifts, the City of Fayetteville offers 12 accrued sick days/shifts during the first year of employment and 20 accrued sick days/shifts from the second year and beyond. The 2025 Arkansas pay and benefits study municipalities offer 20 accrued sick days/shifts from some point during the first year of employment and for each year after. For Police and Fire Vacation Leave, the City of Fayetteville is competitive with market average vacation days/shifts offered.

The market study municipalities offer less options for fire certificate pay, and more options are offered for police focused certificate pay, especially in the cities of Bentonville and Lawrence. See Appendix 7. The Fire and Police Departments offer assignment pay. These incentives are paid as a percentage of base pay. The assignments and associated pay amounts are detailed in Appendix 8. Education Pay Both the Fire and Police Departments offer education pay. Three of the market study cities, Bentonville, Jonesboro and Lawrence, KS, offer education pay. Appendix 6 page one details education pay for Fayetteville and the other study cities. Longevity Pay Four of the five market study municipalities offer longevity pay. Both the Fayetteville Fire and Police Departments offer longevity pay which begins after five years of service. The longevity pay amounts are captured on page three of Appendix Six. Recommendations for the Fire and Police Pay and Benefits Study • Adoption of the 2025 Proposed Fire and Police Pay Step Plans • Continuation of current competitive employee benefits for Fire and Police uniformed personnel to meet the City's Total Rewards: Compensation and Benefits Philosophy — Competitive base pay to attract applicants within the City's market recruitment area and retain competent employees by leading market recruitment area with total rewards (base pay and benefit) offerings.

Pay Range Minimum Use of pay step plan minimums for Jonesboro, Lawrence, and Springdale; merit pay range minimums for Rogers based on 90% of the range midpoint, and merit pay range minimums for Bentonville. Pay Range Maximum Use of pay step plan maximums for Jonesboro, Lawrence, and Springdale. Bentonville and Rogers have merit pay (non -step) ranges for fire and police uniformed positions. To help with apple -to -apple comparisons with blended maximums, the following methodologies were used (See Blended Maximum Worksheets for Fire and Police). The blended pay range maximums for Bentonville and Rogers are based on selecting the most realistic and obtainable pay range maximum by job title based on the following three methodologies: 120% of the actual pay average by position title, the 2025 Pay Range Maximum by position title, and the Highest Paid Employees by position title. The 120% of the actual pay average methodology is the most realistic and obtainable pay range maximum selection unless the current annual employee pay level exceeds the 120% Blended Maximum value. If so, the 2025 Pay Range Maximum is selected next in the sequence of pay range maximums. The third methodology pay range maximum selection occurs when the highest paid employee(s) annual base pay level exceeds the 2025 Pay Range Maximum value. The following pay range maximums were selected for the Bentonville and Rogers fire and police positions using the three previously mentioned pay range blended maximum methodologies. Bentonville: Merit Pay Range Maximums: • 120% of the actual pay average for Firefighter II/ Driver Blend, Battalion Chief, Division Chief/Deputy Chief Blend, Police Officer, and Police Lieutenant • 2025 Pay Range Maximum for Police Sergeant • Highest Paid Employee for Fire Driver/Captain Blend, Fire Captain, and Police Corporal Rogers: Merit Pay Range Maximums: • 120% of the actual pay average for Firefighter/EMT, Fire Driver, Fire Captain/TCQ Blend, Battalion Chief, Deputy Chief for Division Chief, Police Corporal, Police Sergeant, and Police Lieutenant • 2025 Pay Range Maximum — N/A • Highest Paid Employee for Police Officer APPENDIX 4 City of Fayetteville Fire Pay Study - Blended Maximum Worksheet February 6, 2025 Bentonville - Fire Received From Missy Hutcheson 02/18/25 @ 1:53PM 2025 Pay Range Min.
