PASSED and APPROVED on March 7, 2023 Page 1 Attest: Kara Paxton, City lerl reasurer CITY OF W41iFAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS MEETING OF MARCH 7, 2023 CITY COUNCIL MEMO 2023-441 TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff FROM: Missy Cole, Human Resources Director DATE: SUBJECT: Acceptance of the 2023 Fire and Police Pay and Benefits Study and Approval of Proposed Fire and Police Step Pay Plans RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council accept the 2023 Fire and Police Pay and Benefits Study conducted by JER HR Group, presented by Blair Johanson, and approve the proposed Fire and Police step pay plans. Staff also recommends City Council approve implementing the merit pay compression study results with the 2023 Employee Compensation Plan (ECP). 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, Mayor Jordan formed the 2017 City Council Ad Hoc Pay Plan Committee 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. In March 2022, as part of the Employee Compensation Plan (ECP), City Council approved a pay compression study of merit staff. Mailing address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 DISCUSSION: The JER HR Group 2023 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 2023 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 Police departments locally and nationally are experiencing staffing shortages. The Fayetteville Police Department currently has 23 sworn vacancies and has experienced turnover averaging 13.8% over the past three years. As a result of these market conditions, Police pay structures in Northwest Arkansas are experiencing volatility. Due to the external market factors affecting police along with the demand to recruit and retain police officers, staff recommends amending the study recommendations for the 2023 Police Pay structure as follows: • Adopt the 2023 Proposed Police Pay Step Plan which has been amended to match the current highest pay rates among the Northwest Arkansas survey cities. In 2022, a pay compression study of merit positions was conducted to evaluate the impact of the upward movement of positions based on market pay study results and pay for new hires compared to existing employees by job title. Staff recommends the results of the pay compression study be implemented with the 2023 ECP. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: Accepting the JER HR Group Fire and Police Pay and Benefits Study and adopting the proposed pay plans will equip the City to implement updated, competitive fire and police pay structures. A separate agenda item with Mayor Jordan's recommendation for the 2023 Employee Compensation Appropriation Authority & Step Pay Plan Structure Adjustments will be presented to City Council for consideration.

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 2021 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, 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 2023 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 — 5 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 2023 minimums and maximums for Springdale, Jonesboro and Lawrence and merit pay plan 2023 minimums and blended maximums for Bentonville and Rogers were compared to Fayetteville's 2022 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, Police Sergeant, and Police Lieutenant in the 2023 Fire and Police market pay study. All of the pay step plans for Springdale, Jonesboro, and Lawrence and the pay range plans for Bentonville and Rogers are based on 2023 (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. The market 2023 Fire and Police Pay Study Variances by Position Title table based on pay range minimums and blended maximums is in Appendix 2. 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 3. 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 3. The GCD table for all the study cities appears in Appendix 12. The steps were then created by calculating the dollar amount to develop equitable increases from the minimum to the maximum step. The 2023 Fire pay plan drafts based on implementing the identified market study variances are noted in Appendices 13 and 14. The 2023 Police pay plan draft is noted in Appendix 15 and represents staff recommendation. 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 2023 Arkansas market pay study cities offer and fund LOPFI 1 retirement plans for their fire and police personnel. The City of Fayetteville contributed 26.00% of covered pay for fire and police uniformed personnel during the 2022 calendar year. The market pay study cities inclusive of Lawrence averaged 22.00% 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 except for the HDHP Employee only coverage where the monthly premium cost share is $8.00 more than the market study average. The City of Fayetteville offers a separate dental plan and the dental insurance premiums are paid by the City employees. The market offers cost shares on dental insurance monthly premiums from 15% to 100% with an average of 43%. 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 2023 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 during years one to ten of employment. For Police and Day Shift Fire, accrued vacation is less than market average vacation days from five to twenty years of employment. For Fire vacation shifts, the City of Fayetteville is less than market average vacation shifts from fifteen or more years of employment.

Three of four market study municipalities offer longevity pay plans that start after five years of employment; one city starts its longevity pay after twenty-one years of service. The cities that offer annual minimum payouts have longevity pay amounts that range from $250 to $2,000. One of the cities offers incremental one-time longevity pay checks that range from $700 for 5+ years to $5,600 for 25+ years. Longevity pay is offered to the Fayetteville Police Officer positions, and it ranges from $250 per year for 5-9 years of service to $3,000 per year for 25+ years of service. Stipend Pay The City of Rogers implemented a short-term stipend for Police Officers and support positions with a January, 2023 to June, 2023 timeline. The $1,000 stipend is paid after each completed full month of work. The stipend pay is not added to base pay. Sworn Police Officers, Dispatchers, Crime Scene Technicians, Evidence Technicians and Community Service Officers are eligible to receive the monthly short-term pay stipend. Recommendations for the Fire and Police Pay and Benefits Study • Adoption of the 2023 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 2023 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 2023 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 2023 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 Fire Captain, Battalion Chief, Police Officer, and Police Lieutenant • 2023 Pay Range Maximum for Police Corporal and Police Sergeant • Highest Paid Employee for Firefighter II/ Driver Blend and Fire Driver/Captain Blend Rogers: Merit Pay Range Maximums: • 120% of the actual pay average for Firefighter/EMT, Fire Driver, Fire Captain/TCQ Blend, Battalion Chief, Police Officer, Police Corporal, Police Sergeant, and Police Lieutenant.
